Dog-Friendly Restaurants & Patios in Evergreen

Evergreen's two reported dog patios both hang over Bear Creek, and neither business has confirmed the policy.

Be honest about what we know here. Cactus Jack's Saloon & Grill is the old roadhouse on Highway 73 in downtown Evergreen, with live music most weekends and a creekside patio over Bear Creek. Reviews on dog-travel sites consistently describe leashed dogs at the outdoor tables and water delivered to them, and our record notes a dog menu, but the saloon has not published a policy, so the card is marked unconfirmed.

Down the canyon in Kittredge, Blackbird Cafe & Tavern sits right on the creek on Highway 74, serving breakfast and lunch most days with Thursday dinner and live music. It is likewise reported dog-friendly on the patio and likewise unconfirmed. Call ahead for both, and expect the answer to depend on the season and how busy the patio is.

Colorado's food rules allow dogs on patios only with local health agency approval and never inside. Around Evergreen, unincorporated Jefferson County requires dogs on leash at all times off your property, and Jeffco's off-leash ticket starts at $50 per dog.
