This guide is about one thing: places in Greater Austin where your dog may be welcome while you have a coffee or a beer. Each listing names the city it is in, and we checked the addresses and each venue’s own site on October 31, 2026. Policies change, so confirm that a place still welcomes dogs before you go.
Outings to enjoy together on your own time. These are public places and independent businesses, not part of a VIP walk.
Mozart’s Coffee Roasters, Austin
Mozart’s is at 3825 Lake Austin Boulevard, Austin 78703. The coffee shop says on its website that it welcomes pets as long as they stay on the patio. It is open every day, from 7 am to midnight.
The ABGB, Austin
The Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company, known as the ABGB, is at 1305 West Oltorf Street, Austin 78704. The brewery’s own site describes spending time in its shaded beer garden with your pup. Its site does not list a dog policy, so call (512) 298-2242 or ask at the door before you bring your dog.
Hi Sign Brewing, Austin
Hi Sign Brewing is at 730 Shady Lane, Austin 78702, in East Austin. The brewery says it welcomes well-behaved, leashed dogs in its outdoor beer garden and covered patio. The taproom opens at 9 am on weekdays and 10 am on weekends.
Dog House Drinkery & Dog Park, Leander
This one is in Leander, not Austin. Dog House Drinkery & Dog Park is at 3800 County Road 175, Leander 78641. It combines a bar and patio for people with staff-supervised off-leash play for dogs, and you need to bring proof of vaccination for every dog. Check the venue’s website for current hours, passes and rules before you go. VIP’s Leander page has more about care in that area.
Before you go
Call or check the venue’s website to confirm that dogs are allowed, and whether that means the patio only or indoor areas too. Bring water for your dog, keep them leashed and under your control unless the venue has a fenced off-leash area, and be ready to leave if your dog is uncomfortable. If you are looking for parks, see our guide to dog parks and off-leash areas in Austin.
When your schedule gets in the way
On days when an outing doesn’t fit your schedule, VIP’s dog walking is a separate service: leashed walks in parks and trails near your home. VIP has been trusted since 2001 and serves pet parents in Austin and across Greater Austin. To get started, Request Reservations or Contact Our Office.
