Mapped: Salt Lake's dog-friendly patios — with or without kids

By the numbers: Of almost 50 Salt Lake County eateries with health officials' approval to welcome dogs, 20 are bars that can't allow (human) children under Utah law.

The intrigue: A lot of bars don't seem family-unfriendly — especially during daytime meals.

• The baby brunch boot is practically a rite of passage for new Salt Lake parents who return to their favorite Sunday haunt, only for a host to remind them that their bundle of joy does not appear to be 21.

To help keep your dog-friendly patios straight, we mapped them with icons that signal whether they're adults-only bars (🍸) or family-friendly eateries (🍴).

Here are some of our faves that allow the pitter patter of tiny feet in twos AND fours:

• 🍔 Cotton Bottom Inn, Holladay
• 🍳 Atomic Biscuit, Granary
• ☕️ Tea Zaanti, Sugar House
• 🍅 Root'd, Cottonwood Heights
• 🇮🇹 Caputo's, 15th & 15th
• 🍕 The Bambino, Midvale
