There’s nothing that feels more like spring than being able to bring your dog to sit with you on the patio while you enjoy some sunshine and cocktails. And while most patios will allow your pup to hang with you, some places go the extra mile for your furry BFF.

Here are some of the best dog-friendly patios in and around Washington, D.C., that you simply must check out this spring.

Jackson 20

480 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

Jackson 20 makes dogs feel extra welcome by always allowing them on the patio and hosting a “Doggy Yappy Hour” every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dogs will receive plenty of water to stay hydrated and complimentary treats to keep them happy and satisfied. They’ll love it for the food and sunshine and -- well, you’ll love this spot for basically the same reasons! The restaurant is located in The Alexandrian, Autograph Collection, a historic hotel in Old Town Alexandria. Old Town is known for boutique shops, cute restaurants and shops, and the Potomac waterfront. The décor is classic with quirky touches, and the restaurant serves up tasty all-American fare. You can check out the menu here.

Art and Soul

415 New Jersey Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., 20001

Art and Soul treats your dog as an actual customer, and if you treat your puppy like your little human child (which we assume you do if you’re reading this article), you’ll love coming here. They offer a Pooch Patio Menu, featuring such specialties as The Hungry Dawg (grilled and sliced sirloin good enough for a human), Gravy Train (house-made beef and rice in savory gravy), and for dessert, Peanut-Banana Pupsicles (miniature frozen treats for your best friend). Of course, we can’t neglect the humans. Art and Soul serves up delicious Southern-inspired fare, as well as craft cocktails, wine, and beer options. You can check out the menu here. It’s the perfect spot to catch the sunset on a warm night with your best furry friend.
