Old Pasadena
Most of the dog-friendly restaurants on our list are in Old Pasadena, around Colorado Boulevard, Raymond Avenue and Union Street. Many of them come from the Old Pasadena business directory's dog-friendly tag, which does not say where in the place a dog may sit, so those cards say "Dogs welcome" without a patio tag. Ask the staff when you arrive.
Off leash in Pasadena
In Pasadena's city parks, dogs must be on a leash and stay on the trails, except where off-leash play is allowed. Alice's Dog Park at Viña Vieja Park is the city's off-leash park, with water stations and shade trees. Your dog needs a current Pasadena license, and breaking the leash rule can bring a fine of up to $500. Playhouse Village Park on Union Street has a second dog park.
