Dog-friendly spots, mapped

Taprooms and wineries with no kitchen can let dogs inside, which is why several breweries below are marked "dogs allowed inside." The details are in Can I bring my dog to a restaurant patio?

Patio manners that keep places dog-friendly 01 Ask first
Even on this list, the host decides. Some patios cap dogs per table or keep them to one section.
02 Leash on, feet on the ground
State law requires a leash in outdoor dining areas and keeps dogs off seats and tables.
03 Bring water and a mat
Concrete patios get hot. Many spots put out water bowls, but not all.
04 Leave if your dog can't settle
One barking dog is how patios end up with a no-dogs sign.
Dog rules change with managers, seasons and complaints. This list was checked in October 2026; if a place turns you away, it's their call, and we'd rather you knew that before you drive.
