Where are the Dog friendly cafes / restaurants?

This could be a short list.  (Hope not)

Off the top of my head:
There's a "Yappy Hour" event @ the Landing (not sure how often) where bringing your dog is obviously encouraged. And I think in general most restaurants that have a patio are pretty open to it, as long as the dog is not an aggressive breed and you clear it with them beforehand.

Also, I think Walkers Wine Bar in the King St. district is doing a pet centered event. (Although I think they're usually pretty pet friendly anyways...) Kickbacks also is pet friendly from what I've seen.

Now that I think about it, pretty sure all of the places in 5 Points are friendly as well....

Biscottis, the Brick, and Bluefish all accomodate dogs in their outdoor seating areas. So does Pastiche, Harpoon Louie's, and FYC, again all as long as you sit outdoors. The Loop in Riverside is pet-friendly, and so is Sushi Cafe and The Row. Kickback's doesn't mind pets outside, and I've seen people with small pets in Walkers before, which is probably because they don't serve food. I'm pretty sure there's an ordinance that if you serve food, you can't have pets inside.

But that's about the extent of my list for this area. Pretty much every place that has outdoor seating doesn't seem to mind you bringing your pet. Although a lot of it has to do with the pet in question I think. If you bring a normal dog it's fine, but I'm not sure what they'd do if you came in with a snarling pit or rotty.

I think if you bring a snarling pit or rott they should sit you next to the family with the crying baby. But that's just me....

I belive it is the third Sunday of every month

Derby House in 5 Points allows dogs on their deck too.  None of the other places serves breakfast. 

Try one of their Macedonian omelets in memory of Georgi.

No one has mentioned Three Layers down Springfield way on Walnut St.! Seen several people on the outside sitting area with their canine companions!

[Brian Siebenschuh]

I'd imagine any place that has outside seating that's accessible without going through the dining room would be dog friendly - we get a puppy on the Orsay patio probably once a week...

Bluefish in Avondale also has YappyHour on the weekends. I believe its saturday and sunday evenings.
Also OBrothers and Mossfire are pet friendly, and E-Street on Park Street.

European Street, Jackson's, Pizza Palace and Cool Moose are a few more.

My dog likes to visit Uptown Market and Citykidz with me - both have outside seating.

This whole thread makes me yearn for Paris where dogs are welcome in all but the upscale restaurants.  People bring their dogs into every cafe, bistro and bar.  The dogs are all highly socialized and behave as well or better than the patrons.

One of my nephews, who lived in Paris for a year with one of our cousins, did a photo essay of the "Dogs of Paris Cafes" which was very entertaining.  Some women were pictured holding open big handbags with tiny dogs inside.  My favorite was a picture of a man reading a newspaper while resting his feet on a huge mastiff asleep under the table.

About time for a return visit!

Starlight in Five Points is a bar, not a cafe, but well-behaved dogs are welcome in there.

This may be a stupid question, but is there any way for a restaurant here in the US to allows dogs inside? I've always thought it was regulation based on the FDA or something. I'm guessing there isn't any creative way around it?

I would not patronize a restaurant that allowed pets in the dining room. It's bad enough that children are permitted.
