Aurora's confirmed dog patios come in two clusters: Stanley Marketplace in the northwest and Southlands in the far southeast.
Stanley Marketplace, the converted aviation plant in northwest Aurora, publishes a dog policy for the whole building, which is unusual: dogs are allowed on the outdoor patios at Stanley Beer Hall and Logan House Coffee and not in the indoor common areas. Across town at Southlands, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is built for eating out with a dog: leashed dogs on the patio only, a dedicated dog menu, complimentary water bowls, and dogs on the floor and within reach of their owner. Parkway Bar & Grill, the family-owned restaurant on East Aurora Parkway, is described by Visit Aurora as having a dog-friendly patio, but the restaurant itself has not confirmed it, so call ahead.
Colorado allows dogs on restaurant patios only where the local health agency has approved a variance, which is why Stanley can allow patios but not the indoor concourse. Aurora's own ordinance requires a leash of ten feet or less whenever a dog is off your property, held by someone able to control it, and limits households to four dogs.
For a run before dinner, Aurora's dog parks include the state's biggest off-leash area at Cherry Creek State Park.

No. The marketplace's posted policy allows dogs only on designated outdoor patios, including Stanley Beer Hall's and Logan House Coffee's, and not in the indoor common areas. Plan on patio seating, and expect the rule to be enforced at the doors.
Yes. The Southlands location's dog-menu page says dogs are always welcome on the patio, each gets a complimentary water bowl, and there is a dedicated dog menu. Dogs must be leashed, stay on the floor and remain within reach of their owner; only service dogs go inside.
Stanley Beer Hall and Logan House Coffee, both covered by Stanley Marketplace's posted policy, and Lazy Dog at Southlands, which publishes its own. Parkway Bar & Grill is reported dog-friendly by Visit Aurora but has not confirmed it, so call before bringing a dog.
