Great fully enclosed patio

Our waiter was not hard core about the “rules” and our pup played with multiple other dogs - it was great!!!

Great patio with lots of fire pits

The staff was absolutely slammed tonight, so we asked if we could sit outside with our pup and order drinks ourselves at the bar. No problem. Say in the “couch” area to not confuse the table servers.

Also ordered fries at the bar and brought them outside. Great spot!!

Lots of outdoor tables and great food

Our server immediately brought out a water bowl for our pup. There are probably 8+ outdoor tables in a quiet area, away from the busy downtown.

Over a dozen outdoor tables

There are 12+ plus multiple couches, a gas fire pit and an overhead heater. Food is amazing!

Great patio with 5 tables for Fido

Partially shaded, great food - they brought ice water in a bowl for the pup and have a pup-friendly menu! Loved it!

Great spot indoors and out for pup!!

We brought our pup who was adored by all. It was hot so we were thrilled to be able to sit inside. The outdoor patio looked great as well though - canvas covers to shade it. Food looked great! Beer was really good!!

Very friendly people and dogs allowed inside

Great neighborhood spot. Good beer selection and some ok wine options. No food other than chips. Very pup-friendly!

Small dog area wasn’t good at all

It's a tiny space for small dogs - all dirt with tons of leaves on top. There’s really not clear space to play. The big dog area seemed a lot better with actual grass and, I believe, a couple of agility opportunities. No bathroom.

The park itself is huge and beautiful! We opted to take a lovely walk versus the dog park.

Tons of shade to help the pup stay cool. Food was great as was service

Nice park but very little shade

Very spacious park - lots of room to run. Very little shade though - that’s the only reason I didn’t give it 5 bones

Great spot - pup loved the deck!!!

This place has a huge deck overlooking the water. Our dog loves it!

Family-owned, really nice, pet store

We traveled an hour out of our way as we learned they carry Smack dog food which is totally organic. Great store with lots of unique items plus all the usual staples. They host social events in their play space where dogs can meet up. Check their event calendar. Met the owner - very helpful!

Amazing food. 3 shades tables outside

We called ahead and were able to reserve an outdoor table. Right on the corner of a pedestrian-only street, so great people-watching opportunities


Buttonwood Grove Winery
Buttonwood Grove Winery in Romulus, NY
August 4, 2025

Best (white) wine in the area

most of the wineries around here are dog friendly, but I literally struggle to choke down the wines. This place has a lovely, California-style oaked Chardonnay and very nice dry rosé. Didn’t like the reds at all - this region just isn’t good for them.

We stayed inside as it was too warm for the pup to be outside on the multi-level deck. Nice to have options. The staff loved all over her!

Would definitely come back!

Great winery patio! Haven’t tried the Bistro

The winery is a great spot for pups. Huge covered patio with excellent breezes. Read a prior review from someone else about the Bistro - sounds like not a good experience


Western Avenue Grill
Western Avenue Grill in Glen Arbor, MI
July 15, 2025

Shadiest spot in town!

They have somewhat “high top” tables and two picnic tables, all in the shade. None of the other spots in town were nearly as shady. Smash burger and fries were great. Excellent service.

GREAT SPOT!!!

Patio area is covered and there’s another large area that’s in the sun. Food was fantastic - loved the pizza! Others had a shrimp rice bowl and wraps - all were very happy with their choices. Diamond was an amazing server. Gluten free beer and menu options. Highly recommend!

Great covered patio - huge menu

The patio is very large (~18 tables) with have covered and the remainder shady. It’s fenced all around. 2 TVs outside. Menu is massive and the pizza may literally be the best I’ve ever had. Would absolutely come back!!


Hungry Buffalo
Hungry Buffalo in Logan, OH
May 14, 2025

Great covered patio

Friendly staff and a large bar menu. Wine is local, so not great, but decent beer list and cocktails. Food was pretty good.

Of note is that they have 4 cornhole/bean bag toss sets and axe throwing, so may want to avoid on nights or weekends if that would scare a pup


Flatwater
Flatwater in Indianapolis, IN
April 23, 2025

Great covered and open patio

Sunny or shady options for your pup. Also just a couple blocks from the Monon trail for a walk and less than a mile from the Broad Ripple dog park (vaccinations verified). Great spot!

Great food and dog-friendly patio

I agree with the prior review that you need to go in to order food and drinks and take them outside. The food is amazing, though. Very friendly staff, great drinks, and the patio is covered to keep Fido out of the sun. There are fans around the sides of the ceilings and several TVs. It’s not fancy, if that’s what you need, go elsewhere.

Great environment for pups and people!

Our Shih Tzu had a blast playing with all the other pups - big and small. All the people were great - staff and members alike. Good bevies too!

Great breeze on a hot day - temporarily closed as of today

Due to its position near the water, this spot gets nice breezes to cool your pup. Live music daily starting at 1 pm.

They’ve closed since the most recent hurricane but are working to re-open it!

Great sunset spot!

I can’t add anything substantial to what the prior reviewer posted. Great spot with tropical cocktails and great food. Brought our pup a water bowl and a treat. Very welcoming

Great spot on beautiful Mirror lake

Great spot. There’s a tent/waiting area where drinks are allowed (you have to go inside to get them) where you can hang-out with Fido until a table on the patio is available. Only about 6 tables outside so there can be a wait.

Great wings and fries

6 outdoor tables on the sidewalk/street with umbrellas for shade. Very nice spot for the pup

Absolutely gorgeous gardens

We were shocked that there were so many flowers still blooming at the end of September. Great walking trails throughout for Fido


Mercator Vineyards
Mercator Vineyards in Wolfville, NS
September 23, 2024

Loud booms every 3 minutes - uggh!

Maybe this is a seasonal thing, but there were “canon blasts”, 3 at a time, every few minutes. Incredibly annoying. Then fake predatory bird screeches from a neighboring vineyard. Wine and views weren’t good anyway. Don’t bring your pup. Go to Grand Pre where pups are very welcome with no loud noises


The Sou’Wester Restaurant
The Sou’Wester Restaurant in Peggy's Cove, NS

Big patio overlooking the lighthouse

Great spot with lots of outdoor seating. Several tables have umbrellas for shade. Large menu, primarily seafood - very good. Lots of grass surrounding the patio.

Small patio overlooking the water

3 small tables on a little patio. Staff was exceptionally friendly with multiple people coming out to meet the pup. Didn’t eat here so can’t speak to the quality of the food.

VI Grill

They now allow dogs throughout the outside area

the overview and some reviews indicate that dogs must be at one of the few front tables along the fence, but that’s apparently not the case anymore. Went there today and there were pups everywhere on the patio and also at the outdoor bar. Great food as well!!!

Dog friendly terrace and patio. Beautiful spot with great wine and really good food! Small turf area out front for potty. Love it here!


Vermeil Wines
Vermeil Wines in Napa, CA
May 13, 2024

Great wine and very pup friendly inside and out!

We walked in here because they had a banner that said “voted best tasting room in Napa” or something like that, and it was a hot day, so the pup needed some relief. What a great surprise! The wine was phenomenal - bought some Chards from Sonoma and red blends from Napa Valley. Tasting experience was awesome, and the pup was more than welcomed. Great spot!!!

We’ve been here many times before but never with a pup. Great experience. We love the upscale shop as well!


Frog's Leap Winery

My dog kept eating the rocks

Obviously not their fault and the wine was pretty good, but there are lots of other options with grassy seating areas that are better for dogs


Il Fornaio Carmel
Il Fornaio Carmel in Carmel, CA
May 10, 2024

Beautiful patio with shaded or sunny spots plus space heaters

Wonderful food and a great spot for the pup. Cautionary note - there is almost NO grass in this downtown area. Recommend the park that is about 4 blocks away for potty time.



Wine Valley Inn
Wine Valley Inn in Solvang, CA
May 7, 2024

No dog potty spot

Had to walk two blocks to the. End of the road to find any grass - or there’s a park about 4 blocks away. Not exactly handy - or safe - particularly when the dog needs to go in the middle of the night. Room was fine, but they should at minimum have some turf available. Never again.


University Dog Park
University Dog Park in Palm Desert, CA
May 7, 2024

Best dog park we’ve experienced

We were in the small dog area and it was plenty big for the 15+ dogs there. Very respectful owners with friendly pups. Human bathrooms are a nice touch!

Would give 5 bones if there was any grass

Several outdoor tables in the shade and they offered a bowl of water for the pup. Service was a little slow but not unusual in these times of short staffing. Food was great!

Nice cool, shaded, spot. Grass out front

Michelle is an amazing waitress - great experience with awesome food. They’re particular about no barking, no dogs off the pavement on chairs or laps, but very accommodating!

Great patio and food. Wine is OK

Nice shaded spot for a pup with a large grassy area off the patio


Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces

Grass area on a steep hill

We saw pictures on the hotel website of a fairly large, flat, lawn - which is why we switched our reservation to this place. Unfortunately, that space is “reserved event space” and dogs aren’t allowed. The very limited other grass area is on a steep hill and not at all conducive to puppy activity


James Rooney Memorial Park
James Rooney Memorial Park in Fort Stockton, TX
May 1, 2024

One of few spots to find green grass

Lovely park and literally one of the few places in the entire town that has green grass - sprinklers were running this morning. Lots of picnic tables and a huge playground

Beware of the grass spurs

Hard to avoid in the area - they were abundant here. Otherwise, the hotel was great - quiet with a nice courtyard and fenced basketball hoop area where we let the pup run and chase toys

Great spot overlooking the lake

Loved the upper deck area. Based upon an earlier review, we called ahead to ensure dogs were allowed and the only comment was that they had to be leashed. Good grass at the bank across the street. Great food!

Absolutely beautiful park with a lot of shade!

There’s a very large “recreational area” with picnic tables, nice bathrooms, a boat launch, and playground. Lots of nice grass for the pups. Down the road, there’s a nice trail around the lake. We went out about a mile and then back, but the loop is about 3 miles. Loved this park!

Huge umbrellas for shade! Amazing food!

Our pup was really happy here as it’s off the main circle where all the traffic and noise are. The umbrellas are massive and provide amazing shade. Food and wine list are the best in the area, IMO. Love this spot!!!

Outdoor covered patio with fans and heating lamps

We consider this the nicest restaurant in the area. Great Caribbean and Southern US food options. Beautiful seating options on the covered patio or out in the open closer to the water. Lovely foliage all around.

April 22, 2024

Between Punta and Fort Myers - great spot

This place is about 25 minutes from Punta Gorda so don’t know how it has this address but it was a beautiful spot. Nice, covered, terrace that is welcoming of pups overlooking the water. Lots of TVs and a fairly broad menu that includes gluten-free and vegan options. Grassy area just outside the terrace.

Really loud from the highway

Stay was fine but rather rough for the pup. “Grassy” areas are typical Florida crunchy weeds which my dog didn’t appreciate. Right off the highway which is very loud. Workable but probably will find another spot in the future.

Excellent covered patio with heat lamps!

Staff was super friendly. Offered us a water dish and loved on our pup! The space is great. Covered and fully protected from the cold, wind, rain, or sun. Heat lamps put out some great heat. Wine list was phenomenal. We didn’t eat but the fools menu looked nice too.
