MSP -- dog/puppy friendly locations for people-chow

[slowfoodgrrl]

My boyfriend and I are trying to socialize our puppy and need suggestions for cafes, restaurants with patios, etc., that (a) tend to encourage dog owners to show up with furry friends in tow or (b) make it easy to order without having to bring the dog inside (which is probably is a code violation...?). We're in south Minneapolis near the lakes, but can get in the car to hit particularly good places. Help? Where do you bring your dog/puppy when you need something good to eat or drink? Any suggestions helpful.

Whenever the weather's good, we take our hound up to Town Hall. The manager there has always made us feel very welcome there. She always brings us a water bowl for the hound, and usually a few treats, too. The food at Town Hall usually isn't particularly outstanding, but they do have great beers.

I'm pretty sure that Buster's allows dogs on their patio, too. I haven't tried it, personally, but I have heard from friends that they've taken dogs there.

Rustica/Java Jack's always have tons of dogs, and they're in your neighborhood (W. 46th and Bryant).

My wife took a picture of a couple with their dog on the patio of Victory 44. I should probably concede, though, that I have gone on and on about the place. I feel no guilt, since North Minneapolis needs good commerce generally, and good food in particular.

But yeah, dogs are clearly allowed, the patio is informal, and the food is particularly good.

Ngon Bistro's new patio welcomes dogs-- we asked specifically when it first opened since the place is walkable for us.

Psycho Suzi's is great for dogs and they have kick ass deep dish pizza. Bulldog NE can also be good for dogs if it's not too hot out. Really most places with an outdoor patio have been ok with my dog, (small French Bulldog) but his looks get him in most anywhere!
