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!
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.
Sushi Cafe in Riverside has accommodated my dog dozens of times. They are always very nice about it, even though he ways 60+ pounds.
It's not a restaurant, but I wanted to mention the great treatment I got at Underwood's in Avondale. I was walking past with my sister's dog, and he saw a water dish outside the front door. He drank for a while and then we continued on. Just as we had gotten out from under the awning, someone beckoned us back. An employee/manager had seen us and brought out two dog treats for my dog. I was extremely impressed. If I'm ever able to afford things from there, I won't hesitate to shop there!

My dog is definitely cleaner than all children and most adults. But I understand your point- it would just be nice if there was somewhere you could go in the summer when its 105 outside and have some covering and ac.

I understand. The problem for me is that for every clean, polite, well-trained dog (or human child), there's twenty more people with ill-mannered, foul-smelling beasts that would run around the restaurant interrupting conversations, drooling on revolted strangers, and excreting various other bodily substances in unwelcome, inappropriate places.
I met a guy in a bar once who had a service dog with him. The vest the dog was wearing said "Service Dog in Training- Please don't pet". Turns out the dog wasn't in training and he had bought the vest online- he just likes his dog being able to join him at the bar.
What I don't want to see on somebody's table:

Then your heart must be a blackened husk! ;)
Yeah its an overfed chihuahua, it looks like a football with legs and a head. Its legs can still touch the ground but it wont be long before it slides on its belly.
I say leave your dogs at home, it's a liability, even the well mannered ones. You never know what might set them off.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH - The council gave a preliminary nod Monday to an ordinance that would let dogs join their owners at outdoor restaurants.
But some council members indicated they might change their minds before the next meeting on Aug. 16, when they have a final public hearing and vote on the measure.
Also on Monday, the mayor announced that U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., has tentatively scheduled a meeting at 10 a.m. Monday to update Beaches officials on the upcoming beach restoration project.
That effort, which is meant to build up Jacksonville's shoreline, support tourism and reduce potential storm damage to oceanfront buildings, is now scheduled for next summer. The beach restoration was to have taken place this year but was scrapped last fall because of federal and state budget shortfalls.
Jacksonville Beach is considering the dog dining ordinance since a 2008 pilot project that allowed it has expired. Only one restaurant inquired about a permit, said City Manager George Forbes, and none were issued.
If approved, the ordinance would let restaurants apply for a city permit. To get the permit, restaurants must agree to several rules, such as immediately cleaning and sanitizing the area after dog-waste accidents; prohibiting dogs from getting on chairs, tables and other furnishings; and forbidding employees from touching or handling dogs while they are serving food or handling tableware.
"It's not exactly an easy permit to get," Forbes said.
Citizen activist Jim Overby who lives in South Jacksonville Beach urged the council not to approve the ordinance.
"This is a terrible idea," Overby said. "A lot of people don't understand that dogs are animals and are not people. Keep dogs where they belong - at home."
Councilman Dick Matthews asked Forbes to clarify the city's responsibility, concluding that it's up to the city to "police" restaurants that do get a permit.
When it came time to vote, Mayor Fland Sharp hesitated then uttered a tentative yes. He said he might change his mind by the next public hearing.
"I might develop some backbone here," Sharp said.
Caren Burmeister can also be reached at (904) 249-4947, ext. 6321.
All of these that I am listing have outdoor areas where they allow dogs:
The new Urban Flats on the Southside is Dog friendly.
Panera on Roosevelt.
A few dog-friendly eateries at the beach:
Al's Pizza (Atlantic Beach)
Joseph's Pizza (Atlantic Beach)
Sundog (Neptune Beach)
Caribee Key (Neptune Beach)
Azurea (Atlantic Beach inside One Ocean Hotel)
The surprising one is Azurea, because they are fine dining, but I got it straight from the chef--as long as you sit outside.
