Summer is here and your dog deserves a seat at the table. Literally.

We just launched The Summer Shop — our most coastal, most cheeky, most summer-ready lineup yet! And we think the best way to break in a new bandana is on a patio somewhere, cold drink in hand, dog at your feet.

So we did the research. Here are 25 of the best dog-friendly patios across Canada, city by city.

Toronto

1. Black Lab Brewing (Leslieville)
Named after the owners' beloved black lab Snoopy, this east-end brewery is basically built for dogs. Two patios, rotating food vendors on weekends, and staff who genuinely love your dog as much as you do. Dogs are not only welcome — you'll often see a dog's birthday party being celebrated here.

2. The Goodman Pub & Kitchen (Harbourfront)
This waterfront pub makes no bones about catering to a dog-friendly crowd, offering an entire "pawtio menu" for dogs — think Beef Hound Ale and peanut butter pupsicles. Views of the lake. Good vibes only. 

3. The Bark Yard at Stackt Market  (King West / Bathurst)
Toronto's first licensed dog park — a 4,800 square foot off-leash area with a bar right inside it, so dog parents can sip while their pups roam freely. Three separate patios across the market mean you can also grab beer, tacos, margaritas, or sangria while your dog explores. Yappy Hour runs daily from 4–6pm with cocktails for humans and free puppaccinos for dogs. It's less patio, more dog paradise — and honestly there's nowhere else like it in the country. 

4. Henderson Brewing Company (Junction)
A stacked event calendar, rotating beers, and a patio right next to the West Toronto Railpath — walk the trail first, then settle in. The perfect summer Saturday. 

5. Lazy Daisy's Cafe (Little India)
A dreamy sun-drenched patio with fenced-in secret garden vibes — servers genuinely love dogs, so you can tuck into breakfast knowing your dog feels right at home. 

Vancouver

6. Local Public Eatery (Kitsilano)
A great street-side patio that's dog-friendly and just a short walk from the beach. Perfect post-park drinks with your pup. Kitsilano was made for this. 

7. Brassneck Brewery (Main Street)
Dogs are allowed on the patio and it's a popular weekend stop for both beer fans and their four-legged sidekicks. Mount Pleasant is one of Vancouver's best dog neighbourhoods and this is its unofficial HQ. 

8. Main Street Brewing Co. (Mount Pleasant)
A dog-friendly patio in the popular Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. Relaxed, community-focused, and the kind of place where your dog will make three new friends before you finish your first pint. 

9. The Boathouse Restaurant (Kitsilano)
Stunning ocean views, a patio that welcomes dogs, and the kind of setting where a new bandana basically photographs itself. 

10. Mahony's Tavern (False Creek)
A beautiful dog-friendly patio in False Creek with reservations accepted until 5pm. Water access, good food, easy vibes. 

Montréal

11. Terrasse Nelligan (Old Montréal)
Rooftop views with a relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere — staff are used to canine guests and will usually bring water without being asked. Cobblestone streets, great food, your dog beside you. C'est parfait. 

12. Pub Wolf & Workman (Plateau)
A pet-inclusive spot with locally sourced pub eats and a quaint atmosphere in one of Montréal's most dog-loving neighbourhoods. 

13. Bar Le Sparrow (Plateau)
A charming vintage-inspired bar with wooden pew seats, rustic exposed brick walls, and a patio that warmly welcomes dogs. The kind of place your dog will become a regular. 

14. Ruby Café (Saint-Henri)
Welcomes dogs on its outdoor terrace with water bowls and shaded seating — a relaxed spot to sip a flat white while your pup lounges beside you. 

15. Café Ferlucci (Rosemont)
A small shaded sidewalk patio where dogs have enough space to stretch out — water bowls usually available, best enjoyed in the early mornings. Croissant, coffee, dog, bandana. The perfect morning.

Calgary

16. Vin Room (Mission)
Made a name for itself as one of Calgary's most dog-friendly spots — their Mission location not only welcomes dogs on the patio, they go further with treats and a dedicated dog menu. 

17. Cold Garden Beverage Company (Inglewood)
A colourful brewery in Inglewood with a large outdoor space and plenty of dogs lounging around — you can even order your favourite takeout to your table. 

18. Whistle Buoy Brewing (Market Square)
Tucked away in Market Square, a welcoming pet-friendly patio with a casual, community-focused vibe. The hidden gem of Calgary's dog patio scene. 

19. Floyd's Diner (Downtown)
A casual outdoor setup with a solid rep for being dog-friendly — the bright pink exterior and retro vibe make it as fun to look at as it is to visit. 

Edmonton

20. Campio Brewing Company
An institution since 2018 — the large, spacious patio allows pets and has become a home away from home for Edmonton dog owners. Great beer, great staff, and your dog will be very comfortable. 

21. Little Brick (River Valley)
A beloved Edmonton café with a relaxed outdoor space and a dog-friendly reputation that precedes it. The River Valley setting makes the walk there just as good as the destination.

22. Darling (Downtown)
One of Edmonton's most dog-welcoming spots with a patio that fills up fast on warm evenings. Get there early, order something cold, let your dog do what dogs do. 

Ottawa

23. Beyond the Pale Brewing (Hintonburg)
A dog-welcoming patio with a community vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a while. One of Ottawa's largest summer patios and genuinely beloved by the city's dog community. 

24. Banditos (The Glebe)
One of Bank Street's best patios, with scratch-made tacos and street snacks perfect for sharing while your pup lounges beside you. Rated 5/5 bones on BringFido. 

25. Drip House (Hintonburg)
A café and art gallery in one, with a seasonal patio where dogs are welcome and water bowls provided. Morning coffee, your dog at your feet, a new bandana debuting to the neighbourhood.
