Dog-Friendly Restaurants & Patios in Lakewood
None of Lakewood's four listed restaurants has posted a dog policy, so treat this page as a call-ahead list and we will update it as businesses confirm.
Honesty first: every restaurant on this page is reported dog-friendly by a local dog-training company's roundup of Lakewood patios, and not one of them states a policy on its own website. Call before you go. Two of the four sit in the cluster of restaurants near the Lakewood Federal Center and the Union Station light-rail stop: Westrail Tap & Grill on South Union Boulevard, a neighbourhood bar and grill close to the Green Mountain trailheads, and the Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom on Union Boulevard. The other two are in southwest Lakewood. Taste of Denmark on South Kipling near Jewell is a European-style bakery. Piggin' Out Smokehouse on Morrison Road is a barbecue spot not far from the Bear Creek Greenbelt and Green Mountain Beer Company.
If you want a confirmed indoor-or-patio policy in Lakewood today, the breweries are the safer bet; WestFax and Landlocked both put their rules in writing.
Patio dogs are permitted in Colorado only where the local health agency has approved an outdoor-dining variance, so a restaurant's answer can change. Lakewood's leash law requires a leash of reasonable length held by a responsible person off your property.

Questions about dog-friendly restaurants & patios in Lakewood
Are any Lakewood restaurants confirmed dog-friendly?
Not on this page. Westrail Tap & Grill, Old Chicago on Union Boulevard, Taste of Denmark and Piggin' Out Smokehouse are all reported dog-friendly by a local roundup but have not posted a policy themselves. Call ahead. For confirmed policies, see Lakewood's breweries, where WestFax and Landlocked publish theirs.
Where are Lakewood's dog-friendly patios clustered?
Two of the four are near the Lakewood Federal Center and the Union Station light-rail stop on Union Boulevard, close to the Green Mountain trailheads. The other two, Taste of Denmark on South Kipling and Piggin' Out Smokehouse on Morrison Road, are in southwest Lakewood.
Why do dog patio rules change from one visit to the next?
Colorado's retail food rules allow dogs in outdoor dining areas only when the local health agency approves a variance for that establishment, with conditions on access, cleaning and staff contact. Ownership or inspection changes can end it, which is why we ask you to call ahead where the business has not posted a policy.
