The Best Places for Pets in Austin

Austin has the country’s largest no kill animal shelter, and city residents love their pets. On practically any weekend, you’re likely to see Austinites paddleboarding with their dogs on Lady Bird Lake, exploring Zilker Park with their four-legged friends or relaxing on Rainey Street with a beer in one hand and a leash in the other. Here’s a look at some of our favorite pet-friendly places in Austin. We wish we could feature every single spot, but we’ve chosen a few favorites to share with you!

Yard Bar | Allandale

Yard Bar is an outdoor off-leash dog park with a bar and restaurant attached. A one-day play pass costs $5.50 per dog but monthly and annual passes are also available. Bark Rangers keep an eye on the dogs as they play, so dog-owners can relax in the shade or grab a cold drink. Yard Bar does not allow food inside the dog park, but grab a seat at the picnic tables nearby to order food including burgers, salads and chicken tenders for people and sliders or house-made dog ice cream for their pets.

Rainey Street | Downtown

Many of the bars lining Rainey Street have dog-friendly patios and backyards, so BarkHappy has previously hosted pup crawls along this popular thoroughfare.

Banger’s Sausage & Beer Garden, for instance, serves a specialty sausage for dogs and hosts an event called Mega Mutt Monday. Best Places for Pets in Austin Rainey Street is open various hours.
