The newest addition to this list is also one of the biggest pet-friendly patios in Calgary, having taken over one of the largest vacant spots in Mission. From the folks behind Kensington’s Scuba Jay’s and Top Notch Bar, along with Flirty Bird Chicken in Bridgeland and Chemical Steve’s on 17th Ave, College Bar is unpretentious, features a low-cost, high-value menu, and is pet-friendly!

DONNA MAC
Delicious hotspot Donna Mac has a wonderful pet-friendly patio, however, there’s kind of a catch. If we’re being honest, it’s just common courtesy, but if you have a ‘Marley & Me-type’ you’re going to have to leave them at home! And by that, we mean Donna Mac just asks that your dogs are well-behaved.

Pups LOVE the Vin Room. Not only do they have several locations across the city each just as paw-sitively accommodating as the next they’ll also treat your dog as if they were also a paying customer. Though their patios are on the smaller side, the wine bar will give Fido complimentary treats and a custom-made dog bed.

ONE NIGHT STAN’S
One Night Stan’s was actually the very first spot on 17th Ave to have a pet-friendly patio. Leash up your good boy and find a spot along the sunny strip because the only thing that could possibly make their Mac and Cheese any better, is good company – and we think your pooch might just be the best dining partner of all.

UNA PIZZA + WINE
Una Pizza and Wine on 17th Ave is where a glass of wine and legendary ‘za awaits. Because they’ve really embraced the puppy-patio thing, It’s definitely not uncommon to walk by on 17th Ave and see more fluffy friends than people, and we love that.

THE BELTLINER
A full stomach, full glass, and a full heart? At the Beltliner, the most important meal of the day is even better with their pet-friendly patio. Stop by and have one of their signature caesars and a plate of bacon and then dog watch until your eyes hurt.

A guide to the best pet-friendly patios in Calgary isn’t complete without Cold Garden. This Inglewood staple has upped its game with an even more impressive outdoor area, with picnic tables, turf, and probably the most dog-per-square-foot ratio of any patio in the city. Needless to say, it’s one of the cutest places to dog-watch and have a beer or two.
