Home base may be the only place where you can dine indoors with your dog (thanks, health code), but when the weather is warm, Miami is full of patios where pups are welcome. Whether you're seeking a casual beer or snack or a full meal, there are plenty of spots around town to take your dog for an alfresco dinner—or lunch, or brunch.
Lokal
Coconut Grove
It's not uncommon to find pups chowing down on the popular burger shop's petite patio. Four-legged patrons can start with a free organic, housemade, dog biscuit, followed by meatloaf or chicken and rice with a Bowser Beer, a non-alcoholic brewski made in Tampa specifically for dogs. You'll find similar $5 offerings at Lokal spinoff The Spillover.
Taurus Beer & Whiskey House
Coconut Grove
One of the few, if not only, Miami pubs that allows fury friends indoors. Grab a seat and a pint at the bar—or on the spacious front deck—for you and your fury friend, and you're both bound to make a few more.
The Nauti Dawg Marina Cafe
Lighthouse Point
Local canines are far from strangers at Nauti Dawg. In addition to prime seating on the marina overlooking Lake Placid, four-legged patrons can order from their own special menu, including scrambled eggs, mahi tuna and hamburgers, while their humans enjoy fresh seafood, like the Smoked Salmon Benedict, Tuna Wontons or Mahi Reuben. For a real deal, stop by from 6-9pm Mondays, when kids eat free and pups' bowls are half off.
The Wynwood Yard
Wynwood
Street food, cold drinks, live music and plenty of space to lounge. What more could a pup about town ask for? Fido is more than welcome at this budding outdoor community space while you enjoy free events—including fitness classes, creative workshops, gardening and live performances—or simply taste the creations of up-and-coming culinary entrepreneurs.
Peacock Garden Cafe
Coconut Grove
When you're in the mood for a fancier meal and peaceful atmosphere, head down to Peacock Garden Cafe's lush patio. Shaded by towering tropical greenery, you can dine on waffles and flavored mimosas, burgers and beers, or surf and turf, while fido lounges in the shade at your feet. Just be sure your four-legged friend won't go chasing after any sneaky iguanas.
Concrete Beach Brewery
Wynwood
Bringing your furry friend to the sun-shiny patio at Concrete Beach Brewery is the norm. Stop by from 5-7pm weekdays for $1 off beers or check the calendar for the next special outdoor event.
GreenStreet Cafe
Coconut Grove
One of Coconut Groove's top places to see and be seen: weekend brunch on GreenStreet Cafe's expansive patio. Grab red velvet armchairs for you and your pup, and pass the morning people watching with a bloody or bubbly in hand, and a heaping omelette or Nutella-filled french toast.
