Midtown Restaurants Named Among Atlanta's Dog-Friendliest Patios

ATLANTA -- With spring in full swing and summer not far ahead, pets and people alike are heading to local restaurants and bars with Fido in tow. Restaurants are brushing off their patios and opening them up to customers to enjoy their meals in the fresh air. A number of them are welcoming furry friends onto their patios to enjoy a meal beside their human companions or to just kick back with a bowl of water.

Eater Atlanta has named these Midtown restaurants as having some of Atlanta's most dog-friendly patios:

Floataway Cafe, 1123 Zonolite Drive

• "Because, just like you, your dog deserves some upscale dining."

JCT Kitchen & Bar, 1198 Howell Mill Rd NW

• "Cap off a day on the Westside with fried chicken and great views at JCT."

Publico Atlanta, 1104 Crescent Ave NE

• "Publico on Crescent Avenue in Midtown built their grassy patio with the pups in mind. They want the city’s pooches to sit, lay down, and relax with plenty of water and a VIP (very important puppy) menu filled with freshly made treats. 100% of the sales from the VIP menu goes to benefit the Atlanta Humane Society. A win-win for all dogs (and cats) and the humans who love them."

Joe's on Juniper, 1049 Juniper St NE

• "Get a satisfying burger and order a bowl of ice water for the dog. Everyone’s happy."

The Local, 758 Ponce de Leon Ave NE

• "With its patio and cheap drinks, The Local is perfect for people watching with the best people-watching partner: your dog."
