The Best Dog-Friendly Patios in East Austin
Where to bring your dog for a beer and a sunset in East Austin — sprawling lawns, water bowls, and zero side-eye.
East Austin's beer gardens were basically built for dogs — big shaded lawns, communal picnic tables, and owners who'll happily bring out a water bowl before you even ask.
Central Machine Works
A German-style beer garden with one of the biggest patios in the neighborhood. Rotating food trucks mean there's always something for you too, not just the dog.
Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden
A sprawling, dog-friendly beer garden with coffee by day and live music by night.
Coffee by day, beer by night, dogs welcome the entire time. The gravel lot and picnic tables are built for exactly this.
Hotel Vegas
A scrappy East 6th dive with three stages and one of Austin’s best jukeboxes.
Scrappier and smaller, but the back patio has a loyal regular crowd — dogs included — and one of the best jukeboxes in the city if you end up staying past dark.
Bring cash for the food trucks, and expect to make a new dog friend or two.
