Which Dayton restaurants, bars allow dogs on their patios?
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
May 24—A bill passed by the Ohio Senate and signed into law by former Gov. John Kasich in 2018 made it easier for dogs to have a night out on the town.
That bill gave restaurant owners — not local public health officials — the right to decide whether owners can bring their dogs to the restaurant's patio or not. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has since changed some restaurants and bars' policies regarding pets on patios, though many are beginning to return to their usual policies.
Here are the patios that are favorable to furry customers:
Did we miss your favorite local eatery or bar that has been accommodating to your pooch? Let me know at sarah.franks@coxinc.com and I will be sure to add it to our list. -Note, this list might be incomplete, as our city has many great patios to enjoy a meal or cold drink. We will be updating the list as we find more dog-friendly patios.
