Dog-Friendly Restaurants & Patios in Arvada

One confirmed trailside patio and two Olde Town maybes make up Arvada's dog-friendly dining list right now.

The sure thing in Arvada is Colorado Tap House on West 69th Avenue, built where the Ralston Creek Trail passes under Joyce Street. Its lower patio and games area are open to dogs, there is direct trail access and bike parking, and the policy is clear that only service dogs go inside. For a leashed trail walk that ends in a meal, it is hard to beat the setup.

Olde Town is less settled. Bonfire Burritos on Olde Wadsworth opens early for the G Line crowd and is reported to have a dog-friendly backyard, but the business has not confirmed it. Yak & Yeti, the Nepalese and Indian brewpub in the Victorian house on Ralston Road, lists outdoor seating without stating a dog policy at all. Call ahead for both.

Colorado's food rules allow dogs on patios only where the local health agency has approved it, and never inside the dining room, which is why "patio" is the operative word on every card below.

Questions about dog-friendly restaurants & patios in Arvada

Can dogs go inside Arvada restaurants?

No, apart from service animals. Colorado's retail food rules keep pets out of interior dining rooms and allow them on outdoor patios only where the local public health agency has approved the setup. Colorado Tap House states this plainly: dogs on the lower patio, service dogs only indoors.

Which Arvada patio connects to a trail?

Colorado Tap House sits on the Ralston Creek Trail at Joyce Street with direct trail access, so you can walk or ride in with the dog on a leash. Arvada requires leashes on all trails and in all parks, so the lead stays on until you are seated.

Is Bonfire Burritos in Olde Town actually dog-friendly?

A review-based listing describes a dog-friendly backyard, but the business has not confirmed it, so our record is marked unconfirmed. Call before you go, and the same goes for Yak and Yeti, which lists outdoor seating but does not mention dogs.
