Salt Lake County just released its annual list of dog-friendly restaurant and bar patios. While there are far too many to note here — we’re a dog-loving city, after all — here are a few standouts to add to your summer rotation.
Heads Up
At these approved spots, dogs are only allowed in designated outdoor dining areas, but not inside the restaurant unless they’re service animals.
Besties Who Brunch
You’ve got options. Grab breakfast with your pup at Park Cafe (you can walk around Liberty Park while you wait), Hub & Spoke, Skillets, or Emigration Cafe. And Tea Zaanti and Rose Establishment are great spots to linger longer.
A Good Ol’ Fashioned Brewery Crawl
Truly, what’s better than soaking in the sun while enjoying a cold beer or cider with your best bud? Try Uinta Brewhouse Pub, Apex Brewing, Hopkins Brewing, or Mountain West Hard Cider.
Venture Around the Valley
The list stretches beyond downtown Salt Lake City; maybe you can even try someplace new. I’ve got my eye on Localz Bistro in Sandy or Black Sheep Bar & Grill in West Jordan. Also shoutout to the number of Taqueria 27 locations supporting our dreams of tacos + pup-friendly patios + summer evenings.
A (Fancy) Dog Day Afternoon
Your dog deserves a taste of the finer things in life, too. Urban Hill, Harbor Seafood & Steak, Caputo’s on 15th, and Cucina Deli all made the list. What does your dog know about wine pairings and imported tin fish?
