50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Louisville

“We went for brunch! It was heavenly. The espresso martini didn’t depresso. Excellent! My Hubby had a dish with their red sauce & I cannot wait to return for dinner for THAT sauce.“

“loved the Caesar salad!! Marg. Pizza was also great.“

“You can be as safe or adventurous as you want here. We had never tried sushi with beef, but it was a unanimous favorite (ditto crawfish). Other tuna/salmon plates pleased our group. Even my Moscow Mule's ginger was balanced, thank you John Taffer. Skip the gas station sushi and eat here instead. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Mannnnn. This place is EXCELLENT. My second time here was just as amazing as the first. Eve was our server and she was fantastic. We had a group of seven and a lot of us split our entrees so we could try everything. There was literally nothing we didn’t love. We live three hours away and I would drive here just to eat dinner. Kudos to you guys and thank you to eve for the fantastic service! If you have an opportunity to sit outside on the outdoor enclosure do so! It’s a tropical paradise in Kentucky!“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

“Leland did such a wonderful job today! Definitely will come back!“

“i follow a blogger on youtube that travels the world. he is visiting Ethiopia and through watching it learned that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. So i googled Ethiopian coffee shops in Louisville and found Abol cafe. visited today and had some pour over coffee, it was the best coffe i've ever had, and i have tried coffee everywhere!!!! believe me when I say this place has the best Coffee around. This place more than exceeded my expectations of Ethiooian Coffee!!!! I will be visiting this place alot more.“

“So glad I found this spot! Great flavors, great deal! Bring the whole family! Lots of options not just froyo“

“Friday night date night and it doesn’t disappoint. Had the barrel aged double bock and the imperial stout, and of course the excellent pizza and salad. Great place to start the weekend.“

“Best Burger I've had in Louisville. WHY is this only a food truck down town. Wish there was on in JTOWN. :) LOVE IT“

“Had a great time on what ended up being a private tour for my wife and I since no one else signed up. I'd give it 5 stars if this were Yelp. Really interesting story on their more recent challenges and how they have thrived/survived. They have some great whiskeys to try and some of their unique finished stuff is incredible. If I had one complaint, it would be the plastic tasting cups.“

“So much easier on our emotions than visiting a shelter, so you can interact with the fur babies and relax until you reach a decision. Great coffee from Quill's Coffee and yummy snacks! Amazing volunteers who help to make the entire experience very relaxed and chill.“

“We went for lunch and it was so good. We shared foie gras and had French onion soup; so good! Going back soon for a ham sandwich. This is a wonderful restaurant. Guy has kept prices in check which in this economy is hard to do. You could go to McDonald's and get a greasy salty burger and fries or eat 2000 times better at Brasserie Provence for about the same price point. No kidding. We'll definitely be returning soon!“

Hawk was a star and loved his water bowl and his French fries. The food was awesome and atmosphere. Great. Our waiter was awesome as well. Thank you!“

“The chef is a genius. The soups are outstanding. I have never had one that wasn't absolutely delicious. The tuna is great and the meat sandwiches are not skimpy. Ever have the opportunity to visit you will not be disappointed“

“EXCELLENT food! Great portions. The salads are fresh and the chicken is flavorful and tender. My go to dish is the Athenian broiled chicken. It’s out of this world delicious.

“🐾 5-Stars for Club K9 Dog Bar! 🐾 If you haven’t checked out Club K9 in Jeffersontown, you’re seriously missing out! This place is a dog lover’s dream come true — a full bar for adults and a full playground for your pups. There’s a spacious outdoor play area where dogs can run, play, and make new furry friends. They’ve even got a small dog pool in the back to help them cool off on hot days. The staff is always friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and the drinks are solid — exactly what you’d want in a neighborhood dog bar. What really sets Club K9 apart? Their annual Foam Party for dogs (yes, FOAM PARTY for DOGS!) is next-level fun. It’s like a canine carnival, and it’s become a must-do event every year! Whether you’re looking to grab a drink, socialize your pup, or just chill in a pet-friendly atmosphere, Club K9 is the spot. Highly recommend it for both two-legged and four-legged patrons!“

“We had a great night with the family! So many games and attractions for all of us. The staff and service was top notch. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The "atmosphere" is fine... The tables and chairs look and feel like they belong in an 80s pizzeria, and are showing the wear and tear of being older, outdated, and not the best. And if that makes you not want to eat here, you are a damaged person... This food is amazing. As in, making a good run for best burgers in the city amazing. The prices are reasonable, the selection has something for everybody, and the staff are wonderful. But... My friend, Bro, Dude, Bruh... The food... This is 'why didn't anybody tell me it was this good' level. This is 'why did I wait so long to try it' level. If you haven't been here for the food, you are failing at life“

“This fish plate was excellently prepared. Lightly breaded and cooked to perfection. Came in a glass and served with beans as shown. Would recommend anyone looking for a Greta place to swim, this is your place. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the local architecture as we rode the tank around through the cave areas.“

“Very nice staff, I wish I had looked at the name tags to mention them but the barista with the curly ginger hair and the one with black hair and piercings were amazing. We were passing but on a road trip and they made everything better! Also those chai lattes were to die for!!!“

“Burger boy is pretty good?Pretty darn good too!“

“All I can say is wow. Been here twice in a week. The Shepherds Pie is insane good. The Scot egg, Mac & cheese, and beer cheese are all incredible. Great great food!!“

“First of all, we are not even sweets eaters. But, after our recent trip to Italy for the first time, we have been longing for authentic gelato. Stopped in tonight to get some to go, honestly was trying to keep my hopes reasonable. Bought mint choc chip, salted caramel and orange creamsicle. Tried two and oh my!!! The creamy texture and flavors took us right back! Love this place and will return!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly staff. Highly recommend!“

“Very good food🌮😋 I will definitely return“

“This spot was the perfect break after a long, hot hike. Michael welcomed us warmly—and even had a treat for our dog. He helped us pick the perfect drinks—a fruited blonde and an American lager—and the pretzel with cheese dip hit the spot. Tucked away in a charming part of town, it’s an ideal place to relax. Thanks, Michael, for the great hospitality!“

“It’s Father’s Day and we decided to go to the blind squirrel. It busy and we knew it may be a minute. Our food took a little longer than expected but nothing crazy. Some sweet man from the kitchen brought our food out and apologized for the wait and told us that the food was on him. Such a generous gesture. I would highly recommend eating here. The food was good and the service was excellent!“

“Beer is amazing and the atmosphere is even better“

“Great place with real Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex. I come here mostly for the pork tamales, but I have had their burritos, tacos, fajita's etc. Everything also came out within a reasonable time frame. Price-wise, they are very fair as well“

“Great staff and ambiance — dog friendly!“

“Brass Social not only has amazing food but also is very accommodating! They made space for our party of 25 tonight with ease. The service was exceptional, food came out for everyone at the same time, and they made space for us to all sit together! Highly recommend for any occasion!! Brandon is a hands-on owner and truly cares about his service to the community!!“

“This was my first time eating here. It's a really cool place, like a sports bar theme. The fish and chips was incredible. Can't remember the name of the special brew I had but it was outstanding. Staff was very friendly and price was very reasonable. I'll definitely be going back.“
