Planning a patio outing with your dog
Are dogs allowed on restaurant patios in Nashville?
Some Nashville restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and breweries welcome dogs in their outdoor seating areas. Each business sets its own policy, so check directly before visiting. Indoor access may differ from patio access.
Where can I find a dog-friendly patio near downtown Nashville?
Start with the Downtown Nashville & The Gulch section above. It includes restaurants and bars around SoBro, Lower Broadway, and The Gulch. Contact your chosen venue to confirm its current dog policy and patio hours.
What should I bring for my dog?
A leash, water, and a portable bowl make patio visits easier. Choose a spot with enough room for your dog to settle comfortably, and ask staff where they prefer dogs to sit.
Know a Nashville-area patio we should add, or spot one that has closed? Send Luv the Paw an update. This guide covers greater Nashville, including nearby towns; listings are organized for browsing and are not a guarantee of current pet access.
