Dogpatch

Puppy parents can relax in the laid-back atmosphere with a pint or opt for the always-delicious mimosa.

Dogpatch is also a strong supporter of the local community. The bread served here is freshly ordered from the Bread+Butter bakery next door, making the sandwiches irresistibly soft and delicious.

If you’re bringing your pup, make sure they are up-to-date with their vaccinations, always kept on a leash, and never left alone on the patio. Dogs are only allowed in the extended patio area, which is located next to the bike racks.
Once you’re settled in, try the rich and scrumptious beef tartare with a side of sourdough toast. There’s also a great selection of local brews to enjoy on a sunny afternoon.

DaDeO New Orleans Diner & Bar
When strolling along Whyte Avenue, ensure your dog is well-mannered around other animals. The DaDeO patio is pet-friendly and welcomes dogs, cats, and even bunnies!
The food at DaDeO is another highlight, especially the famous Po’Boys sandwiches, which offer various meat choices. We recommend the crab cake option with a side of veggie jambalaya.
Pair your meal with the Alley Kay Chili Lager, a spicy yet refreshing drink that goes perfectly with their Po’Boys. Mark your summer calendar and visit once the patio opens!
Pro Tip: DaDeO is an adult-only restaurant, so bring your dog but leave the kids at home. It’s more of a diner and bar where most tables will have a glass of something alcoholic.
