Outdoor dining is one of the best parts of the summer season, and you don’t have to do it without your furry best friend! We’ve rounded up some of the best dog-friendly patios around Boston for you to enjoy a meal with Toto in tow.
Where: Cambridge
Info: Enjoy a refreshing Lamplighter brew at the brand new facility where the beers are barrel aged and blended in Cambridge. Fido can join you for a relaxing afternoon on the patio under the sun.
Where: Downtown
Info: Take a stroll on the Greenway with your pup and stop for refreshments at Trillium’s popup beer garden across from the Boston Harbor Hotel. Grab snacks at a local food truck and meet other dog owners at this hot spot.
Owl’s Nest Beer Garden at Hood Park

Where: Cambridge
Info: Dogs are welcome and even encouraged on the Area Four patio in Cambridge, but we can’t promise they won’t be jealous of the piping hot pizza the restaurant is known for.
Where: Back Bay
Info: This upscale Back Bay restaurant serves authentic French cuisine in a luxurious setting. And your pup can enjoy the finer things in life right alongside you at the restaurant’s outdoor patio. It’s small, so we recommend making reservations.
Where: Everett
Info: Sample craft cocktails made with spirits from the distillery and hang out with your pooch on the dog friendly patio at Short Path in Everett. The patio also boasts music and public artworks.
Where: Cambridge

Where: South End
Info: This chic South End spot for breakfast and lunch has a small patio to enjoy those bagels on, and Fido can recline there too. It’s a morning ritual built for two.
Where: South End
Info: This unique spot in the South End serves up Mediterranean small plates and wines imported from Greece. Your dog can salivate right there with you on the charming outdoor patio amidst the South End’s brownstones.
