Dog-Friendly Restaurants & Patios in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs has one restaurant built entirely around dogs and two more with confirmed patio policies; the rest need a phone call.

Pub Dog Colorado on Bott Avenue, behind Old Colorado City, is the unusual one: you eat and drink indoors with your dog, and the building wraps around an indoor dog park and a fenced outdoor one, so dogs can play off leash while you finish a burger. TAPAteria on West Colorado Avenue keeps its covered patio dog-friendly and open for seating year round, weather permitting. Lazy Dog in the Chapel Hills shopping area on North Academy welcomes leashed dogs on the patio only, with a dog menu and a complimentary water bowl; dogs stay on the ground.

Pizzeria Rustica, Edelweiss and its Biergarten south of downtown, The Burrowing Owl on South 8th, Border Burger Bar on the creek in Manitou Springs and Shuga's on South Cascade are all reported dog-friendly by reviewers but have not confirmed it, so call ahead. Old Colorado City is clearly the neighbourhood to aim for.

Patio dogs in Colorado are allowed under a state variance that El Paso County Public Health approves restaurant by restaurant, which is why policies change. Off the patio, city code requires a leash in parks and on trails.
