We love a dog-friendly patio here on the Red Mile, and so do our amazing 17th Ave businesses. From coffee shops and cafes with a little spot of sunshine and seating to restaurants and eateries with sprawling downtown patios, here are some of the amazing spots you can bring your pup to this season.
One Night Stans
Everyone is welcome at this self-proclaimed ‘divery’ – even your furry friends! With two patio levels and ample space for summertime shenanigans, as well as a long list of refreshing beverages and pub snacks, One Night Stans is certainly going to be one of our go-to dog-friendly patios this summer.

Made By Marcus
We have a feeling that we will be enjoying Made By Marcus a lot this summer – their vibrant 17th Ave patio’s convenient location is puppy friendly, AND, their just brought back their signature flavour, Marcona Almond Chocolate Ganache. This is going to be a staple in our diet this month!

Una Pizza + Wine
Pizza, patios and puppies – does it get any better than that? Not only is Una’s 17th Ave patio dog-friendly, but they also have an adorable hydration station in front of their Red Mile location for all the furry friends passing by. Stop by this local favourite pizza joint for a slice of Una’s famous pizza and refreshing and inventive cocktails while your pooch takes a snooze at your feet.
