Dog-Friendly Restaurants & Patios
Eat out together
Patios that mean it
Not every restaurant with outdoor tables wants your dog at them. These do, and the ones that say so in their own words are marked. 12 where they are welcome.
Savannah
Back River Brewery
Dogs welcome
Tybee brewery with a dog-friendly patio, open late. Worth knowing because the beach itself is closed to dogs — this is where you end up instead.

Mount Pleasant
Bodega Mt. Pleasant
Dogs welcome
Open-air patio on Coleman Boulevard with room to park a dog beside you. Oversized sandwiches, strong drinks, loud in a good way.

Savannah
Green Truck Neighborhood Pub
Dogs welcome
Front patio under a tent, and they will bring a bowl of water without being asked. Burgers from cattle they can name, hand-cut fries. Closed Sundays.

Hilton Head
Hudson’s Seafood House On The Docks
Dogs welcome
Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables on the Skull Creek deck, where the staff have a habit of turning up with a bowl of water. Sunset is the whole point; go early.

Mount Pleasant
LoLA Mt Pleasant
Dogs welcome
The concrete patio takes dogs. Gumbo, jambalaya and fish tacos, and nobody minds a retriever under the table.

Beaufort
Old Bull Tavern
Dogs welcome
Dog-friendly patio at the gastropub on West Street. Evenings only, Tuesday through Sunday, and the menu changes with the market.

Mount Pleasant
Page’s Okra Grill
Dogs welcome
Covered patio with fans for August and heaters for January, and dogs are welcome on it. Southern plates, and the queue is real at brunch.

Charleston
Poogan’s Porch
Dogs welcome
Named after a neighbourhood dog, and it behaves like it. Dogs are welcome on the front porch and the covered patios, fenced off from the Queen Street pavement, year round when the weather allows.

Mount Pleasant
Red’s Ice House
Dogs welcome
Dogs at the outdoor tables on the covered creek-side patio. Shrimp boats going out in front of you and the Shem Creek boardwalk a minute away.

Mount Pleasant
Saltwater Cowboys
Dogs welcome
They publish an actual dog menu, which settles the question. Waterfront patio on Shem Creek, and the boardwalk next door is the walk afterwards.

Hilton Head
Skull Creek Boathouse
Dogs welcome
Dogs at the outdoor tables on the big waterside patio, and there is a dog menu. No reservations, so there is usually a wait — two outdoor bars, Adirondack chairs and live music make that the point rather than the problem.

Hilton Head
The Crazy Crab Jarvis Creek
Dogs welcome
Dog-friendly outdoor seating, a big covered deck and an outdoor bar, with a firepit once it cools off. Easy with a dog and a couple of children at the same time.

Policies change and the host on the day has the final say. Call ahead if the trip depends on it.
