Hi-Life Bar and Grill located in the Upper West Side is a restaurant with sidewalk seating all year round. They have barriers on the sides to help block the wind as well as heaters for when it gets cold.

Black Lab Cafe was formerly a fully dog friendly cafe but since January 24, 2024, they no longer allow dogs inside as they once did. Now they only allow service dogs inside as they serve full meals. They do have an outdoor seating shack, but outdoor dining will be only allowed from April-November in NYC in the upcoming year, so this will no longer be a dog friendly location all year round.

Judy Z's is one of the best dog friendly spots in Manhattan. They have indoor and outdoor dog friendly seating so you can hang out there all year round. They also have a full dog menu with dog meals, snacks, and drinks!

The Vig Bar is a cool dog friendly spot in Soho/Nolita, Manhattan. They were happy to allow Benji inside on a slow night and even to the back to watch one of their free comedy shows that are every Sunday Night!

Little Athens is a great little Greek restaurant in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. They allowed Benji fully indoors as long as he sat on the floor by our table. Their food is fantastic and the customer service was great. They are super friendly and welcoming. Great little spot!

Skytown is an awesome little bar in Bushwick, Brooklyn located off the Myrtle/Broadway J/M/Z stop. It has great food options, a full bar and allows dogs inside as well as on their sidewalk seating. They have plenty of TVs playing whatever sports you want to watch and have great vibes overall.

Beckett's Bar & Grill is an awesome sports pub in the Financial District of Manhattan that allows dogs on their covered outdoor street seating and indoors! Benji was welcomed inside. They have lots of bar food options, plenty of TVs around for watching sports and were a great place for all seasons and weather!

Two Hands is an Australian Cafe with a few locations around NYC. They also have some locations in other cities too. Their Tribeca location had a nice outdoor seating setup that was dog friendly. They serve a delicious brunch with some truly amazing food that is worth a little splurge.

Sunday to Sunday is a cool brunch spot that has two areas of dog friendly seating. Right against their building is open all the time and their sidewalk seating area is fully enclosed, and heated but only open during the day. If you are coming for brunch or lunch, it is definitely a three season spot but otherwise, maybe skip this spot if it's cold out.

Vineapple Cafe is a cute little spot located on Pineapple Street in Brooklyn Heights. It has a nice dog friendly back patio with umbrellas as well as front sidewalk seating that is covered. We went on a rainy day and the front sidewalk seating area was the most comfortable in the rain as it is fully covered.

An awesome dog friendly spot that is a Japanese-Mexican fusion. They serve both Japanese food and Mexican food as well as drinks like beer, wine, sake, and hard ciders. They have an indoor/outdoor setup that allows dogs whether you want to sit inside or out.

For an awesome dog friendly cafe, look no further than House Party Cafe! This local spot serves great coffee, tea, as well as beer and wine. They have great breakfast options and Mexican food for lunch and dinner.

Enjoy this pizza spot that has a dog friendly outdoor seating out front. They also have a back patio but we haven't sat there so not 100% sure if it's dog friendly. Their pizzas are so good with so many unique flavors to choose from. The sidewalk seating is fully covered but does have open sides so is only good if the weather is nice.

Check out Heavy Woods, a bar in Bushwick, Brooklyn with a huge back patio. Inside, they serve delicious New Orleans style food. There is also a full bar. Enjoy hanging out on the patio with your dog all summer long!

An awesome roller disco themed bar in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn that has Mexican food in the back and allows dogs on their front patio seating and indoors! Love this place for the overall vibes and dog friendliness.
