👋 Laura from Axios Charlotte here! On a recent road trip to Nashville, my husband and I brought our two dogs, Chester and Bean.
Why it matters: We found Nashville to be very dog-friendly. As responsible DINKs, we didn't want to leave them in the hotel all day, so we researched the best spots ahead of time.
Here are the top picks:
🐾 TailGate Brewery HQ: The Bellevue location has pizza, sandwiches and a huge backyard with picnic tables and sunset views.
🍻 Von Elrod's Beer Hall & Kitchen: A Germantown beer garden with steins, pretzels and a massive dog-friendly patio.
🎶 Vinyl Tap: This East Nashville spot merges a record store with a bar, and pups are free to visit on the patio.
🥨 Village Pub & Beer Garden: East Nashville's hidden gem has a covered patio, whiskey, beer and warm pretzels with mustard that goes hard.
🐕🦺 Urban Dog Bar: Why choose between a dog park and a bar when you can have both. Sip in The Nations while the pups play.
- Note: It's an $18 cover for two dogs.
🥃 Big Machine Distillery & Tavern: If you want something other than beer, grab a spot at the Berry Hill location's dog-friendly patio with cocktails, slushies and spirits made in-house.
🍔 M.L.Rose Craft Beer & Burgers: The Sylvan Park location features a roomy, dog-friendly patio.
Pro tip: We leaned on the Axios Nashville team for most of our recs, but BringFido.com was clutch for planning.
