Bostonians are finally able to enjoy a nice summer brew with a man’s best friend. Doggy dining has officially begun!

The City of Boston announced a new policy in early May from the Inspectional Services Department’s Health Division, where restaurants and beer gardens can have “Dog-Friendly Spaces” to allow our furry friends the chance to dine with their humans.

“We’re committed to making Boston a vibrant, family-friendly City, and that means rethinking our outdoor spaces to better build community,” said Mayor Michelle Wu in a presser in May. “Residents and small business owners have been eager for four-legged family members to be able to enjoy our outdoor spaces too, so we’re happy to make this regulatory change allowing dogs on outdoor patios and beer gardens.”

Here is a complete list of restaurants that are pooch-friendly:

  • 75 Chestnut

  • 75 On Liberty Wharf

  • Dorchester Brewing

  • Tavern of Tales

  • Aeronaut Brewery

  • Long Live Roxbury Taproom

  • Salty Pig

  • Tip Tap Room

  • SRV

  • Shy Bird

  • Uni

  • The Anchor

  • Yellow Door Taqueria

  • Bell in Hand

  • Roundhead Brewing Co

  • Moonshine

  • Precinct Kitchen and Bar (Hotel AKA)

  • Stats Bar and Grill

  • Castle Island Brewing

  • Cisco Beer Garden

  • Dbar

  • Notch Brewery

  • Lucies

  • Fairmont Copley/Oak Long Bar/Kitchen

  • Monument Tavern

  • Super Bien

Any owner who brings their dog to an outdoor dining area is responsible for the behavior of that pet, and the dog must also be on a leash.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
