Paws & Patios: The Ultimate Dog-Friendly Guide to Downtown Waco

Sunny skies are here, and it’s the perfect time to soak up some fresh air with your four-legged friends. Discover the pet-friendly businesses in Downtown Waco where pets are not only allowed, but welcomed! Check out these patios, along with the specials and deals they have to offer.

Street Dog Cafe

Street Dog Cafe—just like the name says! Choose from a full espresso bar and breakfast served all day, with proceeds supporting the mission to sponsor a foster dog every week. Don’t forget to grab a little something for your furry friend with their fresh-baked treats.

Milo

What’s better than a craft cocktail and a pimento grilled cheese sando? The fact that they’re available every day during lunch and happy hour!

Southern Roots Brewing Co.

Stop by Southern Roots Brewing Co. during the week to score $1 off draft beers from 3-6 pm. Paired with the patio and a specialty pizza, it’s a perfect weeknight!

Hecho in Waco

Take a seat on Hecho’s patio to enjoy a pitcher of their house margarita on special every Sunday and during happy hour Monday-Friday, 3-6 pm!

Terry Black’s

Legendary brisket and homemade sides paired with a sweet tea, all enjoyed on the large covered patio makes for a perfect weekend dinner.

Alpha Omega

As they say, come hungry and leave inspired—their lamb and chicken gyros on fresh pita bread will have you, and your pup, coming back for more in no time.

Waco Ale Co.

Enjoy live music, high-quality small batch beer, and Thursday happy hour from 3-7 pm, featuring a Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries for $12 all day.

Magnolia Market

If you’re looking for a wide range of food options and tons of seating, Magnolia Market is the perfect place for you to enjoy the warm weather. Grab a bowl from Club Sandwich, or grab a dog with your dog from Frenchie’s, and your day will be made while sitting on the Silos lawn.

Mamaka

After a long walk with your pup down the Brazos, end it with a refreshing smoothie bowl blended with no added sugar, topped with homemade granola!

Grab a leash and stroll through Downtown Waco to discover your next stop with your pup!
