Dogs on the patio, and the rules behind it
Since 2015, California law has let restaurants welcome dogs in their outdoor dining areas, if the owner chooses to. Your dog has to be on a leash or in a carrier, stay off the chairs and benches, and reach the patio without walking through the restaurant (AB 1965). Each place decides for itself, so if it matters, call ahead.
Beer gardens and bars
5 places on our list are breweries, bars, wine bars or beer gardens, including Adega Azul, Fieldwork Brewing Company, Hotsy Totsy Club, Missouri Lounge, and Moxy.
