I'm not a god person at all. But my wife got us a "Coton de Tulear" and he's SO adorable!

Fantastic spot!
San Francisco Brewing Co.Right in Ghirardelli Square! The Brewery has awesome beers, but also wine, cocktails etc for the non-beer drinkers, as well as excellent food options, even several good vegetarian ones. Their patio is large, part is covered, and they even have heaters for those cooler days. The three of us had great service too, and MacBeast was happy under the table: they have Astroturf on the section near the building. Spoiled dog :-)

Lovely French food and cosy downtown patio
Augie’s FrenchAugie's is a new restaurant right on 4th, offering a small dog-friendly patio with just a few tables. In true French style, those tables are fairly close together, but MacBeast is small, so he was fine under the table. While welcoming dogs here, there was no water bowl or anything, hence just a 4 bone rating, which is still quite good. Patio seating cannot be reserved at this stage (they're only a few months open) so maybe this will change as they find their groove. And, no heaters in view, so they'll likely close the patio when the weather turns (plus I don't think there's space for heaters anyway). To get a table, we went early, for their very nice Happy Hour: great bites, nice drinks, and surprisingly reasonable in this downtown setting especially since the portions and quality both were up there! We shall return - but may crate MacBeast at home so we can try their dinner menu inside.

Great year-round patio! And good food too
Franchettis' GasthausWe've been coming here for years, having known owner Gesine since our and her Anchorage Alaska days where she had a great restaurant. Franchettis has a sizable patio, like 8-10 tables or so, two-tops as well as 4 and even larger picnic style for 6 or more. The German/Italian food is hearty and enjoyable, and they do love dogs! They'll bring a water bowl, and some waitresses even bring a dog treat. Moreover, the patio is wind- and rain-protected, and has heaters for the cooler season. It's not always easy to find a dog-friendly patio in what passes for winter here - oh so different from Alaska, which we did love with all its challenges: no dog in those days though! - so thank you Franchettis for providing this warm haven!

Lovely patio, great service, so dog-friendly
Lucy Restaurant & Bar at BardessonoFirst time here, for a late breakfast/early lunch. Excellent food served on their large umbrella’d patio around a pretty landscaped water feature. MacBeast was very impressed with a water bowl and a tasty looking dog biscuit too. This place loves dogs!

Great more upscale Asian, small patio
Mandarin KitchenA new restaurant here, and since they have a few outside tables we were able to go try it with MacBeast. And glad we did! Nice more upscale menu, mostly Asian fusion, as well as a few other items. We loved the food! And the sidewalk tables, while nothing special, are in a large parking lot a good distance from the road, so no traffic as such, just the occasional car looking for a spot. We also took some friends here for a dog-less dinner inside, highly enjoyable. We shall return!

Nice patio, great service (dog too!), large portions
Goji KitchenWe had a most enjoyable outdoor meal last week. They have some 4-5 tables on their patio, in a large parking lot away from the road, so no nearby traffic to scare our pup (Motorbikes! Woof!). The server brought a water bowl for him before we could even ask, nice :-) Our food was excellent, and plentiful: in fact, we had another dinner and a lunch out of it at home!

Fantastic breakfast, lovely spot & owners
Shasta Starr Ranch Bed & BreakfastWe stayed overnight in September ‘22 and are repeating in June ‘23. Gorgeous ranch, spectacular setting and views, beautiful rooms, excellent breakfast, and Fido-friendly! While Sgt Pupper is not allowed in the bfst room, he is allowed on the veranda where you can have bfst too. SO much nicer than an I-5 side motel!

Great beer, lovely patio - and Pliny Pup!
Russian River Brewing CompanyFamous for its annual Pliny the Younger release, this is a great spot to hang out with dogs. You can eat there too, inside in their overflow bar area, or just have drinks (poured in metal cups) on the large and sail-shaded patio: no food allowed there. They have a neat garden walk right off the patio, and it’s a ways from traffic noise, great for anxious dogs like ours. It’s near our home, and my go-to for brews & beasts. If you’re lucky you might even see their actual dog Pliny welcoming guests!

Awesome Cajun food! UPDATE: CLOSED PERMANENTLY!!
Third Street AleWorksThird Street Aleworks teamed up with Bayou on the Bay to run the food. Result? Excellent local brews paired with awesome Cajun food! We just went again for yet another food/beer pairing (Boudin balls, yum!) on their dog-friendly patio, equipped with heaters, and the lovely server lady immediately asked if MacBeast would like a treat, and then gave him some. Support your local dog-friendly breweries and restaurants: Bayou & 3SAW are a fantastic combo!
UPDATE 2023: The restaurant closed; they moved away and are only brewing now :(

Lovely true Italian meal on heated patio
PazziaTrue Italian fare along a busy major street. The service was enjoyable, and the meals excellent: my wife’s lasagne and my wild boar. The fresh bread was simple yet heavenly, and the appetizers carpaccio and fritto misto delish. Lovely drinks too. Last but not least: we were on the patio with our dog on a kinda chilly December evening, but they have heaters and we could take our coats off and feel pleasantly toasty!

Fantastic patio, gorgeously unique setting
McMenamins Old St. Francis SchoolThis old school house has the most amazingly cool patio. Really nice menu options, excellent beers, and a water bowl for MacBeast before he could say “woof”. Totally recommended!

Second visit, now 5 bones!
Seasons of Coeur d'AleneWe were here just 2 days ago and rated it 4 bones, due to no dog recognition but came back today with friends: we barely sat down and a dog waterbowl arrived! Bravo! Woof!

Lovely spacious setting, very dog-friendly
River GrillAn enroute lunch stop, a few minutes off the freeway at this lodging and restaurant spot. Large patio welcomes dogs, but presently no outdoor table service: order “to go” inside, then pick it up there or, if not ready in the indicated time, they’ll bring it out. The food menu was fairly standard but tasty, and they have some great local beers! They also provided a nice water bowl for MacBeast, which he appreciated very much. Relaxing and pretty riverside setting, quiet and enjoyable. Definitely beats a fast-food type roadside stop.

Magnificent for MacBeast!
Trails End Brewery & Brick-Oven PizzaFound this on BringFido, tried and loved it! We’d barely sat down before a server brought MacBeast a water bowl - and informed us that while we picked a sunny spot in the front, they had a nicely shaded area in the back. We moved there, and had a delicious Cubano and pizza, while MacBeast drank his water and snuffled around. I had a beer flight trying 5 of their German Purity Law brews, got another pint, while my wife enjoyed a WA state cider. Planning to get a T shirt on my way out, it was that memorable :)

Great patio, no unpleasant concrete!
Grossman's Noshery & BarWe’ve been here several times with duggo. The shaded patio has a nice ground cover, so dogs don’t have to be on nasty concrete. The excellent food comes in generous portions, and they have a nice drinks selection. A great addition to Railroad Square!

Perfect after a Ragle Ranch Dogpark visit
HopMonk TavernWe go here for lunch with our small dog after enjoying the 11am-noon Small Dogs Hour at Ragle Ranch Regional Park (tip: get a membership, it pays off quickly). The patio is spacious and shaded, they bring a water bowl, and they even have a Dog Menu with like 4 options to order something for your furry friend! Human food is good too :) and of course the drinks are great!

Perfect patio spot in the heart of town
Beer Baron Bar & KitchenWe live in Santa Rosa and have been here several times with our lil’ dog. He feels very welcome here, as do we! Nice big patio right on Old Courthouse Square, excellent beers and whisky, plus good food for a lunch or dinner. The friendly server brought a water bowl for our pup along with our more adult beverages :)

Barkin’ brewtiful!
Fogbelt BreweryBeen going here for their excellent Beer & Food pairings and today for just lunch with my buddy MacBeast. They brought water for both of us and looking around I spotted several other Dads with Dogs as well as families. The go-to brewpub in Santa Rosa with a furry friend!

Total dog haven with great food for their humans

Friendly, fantastic, French!
La Gare RestaurantThe recently added and improved patio in the alley along La Gare’s side is covered, has space heaters and is dog-friendly. The menu is substantial, our anniversary dinner excellent, great wine and beer options, and while of course not low-budget, the cost is reasonable for such quality and lovely experience.

Excellent food, great people, dog-friendly tented patio
Riviera RistoranteWe used to go here before we had our dog and were thrilled to see them add a large tented patio setup where we can safely and happily continue dining out at Riviera!

Nice patio, good food & drinks!
Park Station HasheryWe had a nice big picnic bench for the five of us, with plenty of space for the dogster. Order inside and they’ll bring the food out, makes it easy.

Lots of patio space and staff love!
Frankie's Pizza and Ice CreamEnjoyed their falafels! They have a few patio areas with a few tables each, nothing fancy but just fine. Order at the counter and staff brings your food out. Several of them greeted our small dog, leaning down, with care, very sweet. We got talking with a local lady, also eating there, who tried and succeeded in getting a hand sniff: all in all a very pleasant experience without a single bark!
