There are some excellent spots around town where you can combine your love of food, patios, and pups. Here are some of the best dog friendly patios in ATL!
1. Hook, Line & Schooner
This Smryna gem has the freshest seafood in a laidback and friendly environment. They have a small patio that’s perfect you and your pup as you snack on peel and eat shrimp, lobster rolls, crab legs, and more! You can also round up your bill to have money donated to local animal shelters–just look at these local pups that were saved thanks to their round up program!
2. Tuza Taco
This hidden gem in West Midtown is a groovy little spot for tacos, margaritas, and an awesome time. They have a small covered patio with ceiling fans to keep you cool where your dog is also welcomed. The most show-stopping item on their menu is their massive fish taco, but it’s all delicious and an awesome deal!
3. Treehouse Restaurant And Pub
7 Kings Cir NE, Atlanta, GA 30305
We love the easygoing vibes and plant-covered patio at this shabby chic Buckhead spot that’s perfect for you and your pup. Their menu is pretty expansive with a little something for everyone, and they serve a mean brunch, too.
4. Cypress St. Pint & Plate
There’s a lot of great neighborhood bars and gastropubs around Atlanta, but not a lot of them do it better than Cypress St. Pint & Plate. Everything on their menu is mouthwatering delicious, the servers always make you feel like you’re at home, and they have outdoor seating you can bring your dog to. Their wings are solid, their late night menu is rockin’, and their brunch is also a hidden gem that’s delicious and generally wait-free.
5. Little Rey
Chef Ford Fry’s Little Rey brings Chicken al Carbon, a type of charcoal roasted rotisserie chicken, perfection to Buckhead, and their shaded patio is a great place to grab a casual bite with your pup. They’ve also got breakfast tacos, melt-in-y0ur mouth hotcakes, and freakin’ delicious steak tacos, too. What’s not to love?
6. New Realm Brewing
When the weather is good, you can count on New Realm Brewing to be the most happening patio in the city, with multilevels, awesome food, live music, and of course great beer. Take a walk on the Beltline then hop right off for their brews and famously cheesy mac & cheese.
7. HOBNOB
Multiple Locations
For “refined tavern fare with Southern flair,” head to Hobnob and bring your pup too! Loosen your belt and settle in for a fabulous meal with options like shrimp ‘n grits, tiramisu french toast, and fully loaded burgers. Locations in Dunwoody and Brookhaven.
8. Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar
Multiple Locations
Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar has been a total gem to the Peachtree Corners and Dunwoody area! Their covered patio is spacious and perfect for social distance dining, and they’re doing a great job taking extra precautions in the COVID-19 era . Expect comfort food The bison meatloaf is a showstopper.
9. Victory Sandwich Bar
Multiple Locations
There are not a lot of things better, especially after a long bout of low-carb eating, than really freakin’ tasty sandwich. And Victory has plenty: prosciutto, pastrami, BLT, and an extra spicy chicken one with ghost pepper. Pair it with their famous whiskey coke slushies for a taste of heaven. Open in Decatur and Inman Park, and their patios are perfect for your pup!
10. Lucky’s Burger & Brew
For a pet-friendly patio but person-friendly bar, head to Lucky’s! We love their burgers and brews, and their Roswell location is especially delightful. and Their Georgia Dawg Pounder topped with a fried pimento cheese ball and spicy pepper jelly is Steak Shapiro’s favorite.

11. Fado Irish Pub
Multiple Locations
Picture this: you’ve got an expertly-poured pint of Guinness in your hand while basking in the beautiful day with your favorite four-legged friend… you may just think that you’ve peaked. Your pup may not be able to consume beer, but chances are they’ll appreciate a small bite of your Big Soft Pretzel or Shepherd’s Pie. But just one, food this good is better enjoyed by humans.
12. Pour Taproom (Beltline)
661 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312
The Beltline is always a good place to stroll for dogs and humans and Pour Taproom is great for dog lovers and beer lovers alike. Choose from 80+ different brews! Settle in with your pup on their patio, and if you get hungry, their kitchen is connected to neighboring Nina & Rafi. It’s great for a sunny afternoon spent drinking.
