If your dog is an official member of your family (and whose isn’t), you fortunately don’t have to leave your pet at home to enjoy a meal in Music City. Thanks to the ample supply of dog-friendly restaurants in Nashville, we can all enjoy a nice meal with our beloved pets. We found 10 places where dogs are welcome guests.
1. Tennessee Brew Works
Tennessee Brew Works has a dog-friendly patio, which is covered, making it the perfect spot to spend a few hours, regardless of the weather. They also happen to have plenty of craft beer options, and great menu items, like the Wagyu beef hot dog.
809 Ewing Ave, Nashville, TN 37203
2. Hops & Crafts
Hops & Crafts’ patio is perfect for pups of all sizes! They boast 36 beers on tap and a unique bar-food menu that includes their homemade pimento cheese. Bonus: free parking is available in the Turnip Truck parking lot.
319 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203
3. Two Ten Jack
East Nashville’s Two Ten Jack is a combination of bar food and Japanese cuisine, with plenty of hand-crafted cocktails and unique items that can only be found here, like their own spin on fried chicken, and ice cream dumplings for dessert. Dogs are welcome!
1900 Eastland Ave #105, Nashville, TN 37206
4. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken
While we wouldn’t recommend feeding your dog Hattie B’s Hot Chicken, the patio at Hattie B’s Midtown location is very pet-friendly. Hattie B’s hot chicken is ranked among the best in the world, so consider getting your order to-go to avoid the long lines, and then grabbing a table.

5. 12 South Taproom and Grill
12 South Taproom and Grill loves welcoming furry friends onto their patio. They also have a tempting happy hour menu, which rotates by the day, and includes Margarita Monday and $10 off a bottle of wine on Thursdays.
2318 12th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37204
6. Fat Bottom Brewing
Fat Bottom Brewing’s patio is dog-friendly, but there’s also the Hop Yard, an outdoor beer garden, next to the brewery, with ample space for Fido to run around. Their kitchen menu changes, as do their choices of seasonal beer, but what doesn’t change is their commitment to great food and drinks.
800 44th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37209
7. Yazoo Taproom
Dogs love the patio at Yazoo Taproom, located just outside of the city limits of Nashville, in Madison. And dog owners love the diverse beer list. A small selection of food items is also available, including an all-beef hot dog and chicken tenders.
900 River Bluff Dr, Madison, TN 37115
8. Music City Bar and Grill
Music City Bar and Grill has an outdoor dining area that is welcoming to dogs, as well as live music! Located near Opryland Hotel, their menu includes bar-style food, like fried pickles and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
2416 Music Valley Dr, Nashville, TN 37214
9. Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint
There are only a few tables in the outdoor seating area of Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint, but even if you have to wait, it’s definitely worth it. Their burger selection includes a Cobra Kai burger, made with cream cheese, pickled jalapeños and jalapeño jelly, or the Elvis burger, with peanut butter, mayo, bacon and cheese.
