8 Pet-friendly Heated Patios in Nashville, TN
Why 8 and not Top 10?
Because if you don’t like any of these 8 cool, dog-friendly spots, 2 more places are not going to help you (you should be laughing). It’s cold outside and we love to bring our dogs with us, so call ahead & make sure their heaters are on.
Wherever you are staying in the Music City, or if you live in the Nashville area, these places are located in many different neighborhoods of our fun city. We are sure, one of them will be close to you! We always recommend that you call ahead to make sure their heaters are on and pups are allowed on the patio.
Pins Mechanical - The Gulch
Their slogan is “When Life Gives You Balls, Play With Them”. Why not check out this dog friendly spot in the Gulch?! They offer fun games using all types of balls: bowling balls, pin balls, bocce balls, and even larger than life beer pong balls. If you do not like fun, pass it by, but for the rest of us it is a great place to hang out, drink, and have fun with friends!
Tennessee Brew Works - Sobro
Tennessee Brew Works was founded with a mission to create high-quality craft beer that pays homage to the land, traditions and culture of Tennessee.
