Dog-friendly restaurants & breweries in Asheville

The flagship of Asheville's South Slope brewery district, with a big, funky outdoor area of repurposed-car tables and a full kitchen turning out ambitious food to go with the sought-after sours and farmhouse ales.

A downtown restaurant beside Pack Square known for handmade pasta, stone-hearth pizza and burgers, with a heated, shaded patio that is one of the most genuinely dog-welcoming in the centre.

A relaxed downtown restaurant and bar with a huge international beer list and a burger-forward menu, and a spacious pet-friendly patio in the heart of the centre.

Asheville's original craft brewery, on a 40-acre site east of downtown with a big outdoor Meadow and beer garden, rotating food trucks and live music most weekends.

The eastern home of Sierra Nevada, a vast estate brewery south of Asheville with gardens, an amphitheatre and a patio bar. It makes an easy dog-friendly day trip on the way to or from DuPont Forest.
