50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Louisville

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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. I haven’t written a review for any restaurant in a while but had to post about this place bc it is amazing. Definitely recommend but I kind of hope this place doesn’t get too busy! It’s such a gem 💎“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Brasserie Provence has been a favorite of ours for years now. Guy and his team always provide a warm and relaxing dining experience. This is truly a gem in Louisville's eatery line-up. A perfect spot for a quiet romantic dinner or and evening with close family and friends. You can actually have a conversation and hear each other. The food is exceptional. Some recommendations are the Mistral Salad, the Tomato goat Cheese Tart, the Red Ruby Trout and the Chicken Breast. If you haven't been, Brasserie Provence is a must.“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location.

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

“We were wedding planners for a wedding on May 11th, the staff that worked the wedding from the restaurant were absolutely phenomenal. Couldn’t believe how out of their way they went to help. Thank you all for everything.“

“You won't regret it! Delish!“

“Alimentos y servicios de excelencia. Recomendados 100%.“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“We stopped by here today on our way home with our yellow lab Hawk and they were so awesome to us. The owner even came out and sat with us for a bit. 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!“

“🐾 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!“

“Excellent whole-bean coffee; best anywhere! Fantastic ethic, excellent customer service.“

“We were wedding planners for a wedding on May 11th, the staff that worked the wedding from the restaurant were absolutely phenomenal. Couldn’t believe how out of their way they went to help. Thank you all for everything.“

“Incredible food and really wonderful service. Had a reservation for 10 last night and everything was perfect. Also, we are sorry for hanging around so long at the table last night, we were seated outside and didn't realize when you had closed“

“I like Brian the bar tender. He is nice, friendly and does a good job. He sure knows how to make a good manHatton I would recommend this place to every body.“

“Really enjoyed our visit at Zombie Taco’s. The bartender Justin was great and made some delicious drinks“

“A quiet and relaxing gem a feel of a speakeasy with the Kentucky flair. Good drinks + great food.“

“We did the SUP yoga class and loved it. Thanks for tailoring it to our group and giving us play time along with leading us through poses.“

“My friends and I ate at malones tonight. It was an amazing experience. We had 2 wonderful servers, Robbie and Louis , they were very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We can’t wait to go back!“

“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!!“

“This place has just about everything! Sandwiches, coffees, teas, boba, Ramen bowls, Pho, burgers, subs, even specialty corn dogs, and amazing bakery items! Super nice people and everything was great tasting and good serving amounts, all for a decent price in my opinion. Also was playing nice music and had nice decor. Can't wait to go back!“

“Amazing selection of flavors!!! 💙“

“We visited here for a birthday party earlier today. The girl who waited on us was named Kaylee. She was fantastic. However there were 30+ of us and she was running the show alone. The kitchen mixed up our food and we had missing food. She was running 95% of the food to us and got ALL of our drinks by herself. She was the only server assigned to us and she did ALL the work. As a server myself for 10+ years that's absolutely ridiculous. I've always shared a party that large with another server and if for some reason I was on my own my coworkers helped me with drinks and helped run food. She had no team players except ONE time a young lady helped by bringing two appetizers to the table. A manager should always come see how service and food is before the party leaves and we didn't see a manager for the 3 hours we were there. Thank you to Kaylee for handling the party on her own, you were fantastic ma'am.“

“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“

“Great coffee, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere.“

“So yum! Great atmosphere! Very welcoming“

“Nice little place, tasty beer! Can’t believe it took me this long to get there!“

“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“

“Love the post and their creative tasty pizza! The house salad with ranch was next level good. It’s nice to have a place this good i can take my fur baby on lunch dates 🐶❤️🍕“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheese & Vibes? Say Less. I walked into Cultured thinking I’d have a cute little cheese moment—and walked out a full-blown dairy enthusiast. 🧀✨ If you love great wine, perfectly curated cheese boards, and an atmosphere that makes you feel effortlessly cool, welcome to your new obsession. The selection?? Next level. Every cheese, every pairing, every sip of wine feels intentional, elevated, and just straight-up delicious. Like, I took one bite and immediately started questioning why I ever settled for basic grocery store cheese. (I’ve changed. I’m different now.) And the vibe?? Absolutely flawless. It’s giving "I’m sophisticated but also fun"—the kind of place where you could have a romantic date, a gossip-filled wine night, or just sit alone and pretend you’re the mysterious lead in an indie film. 🎭🍷 Final thoughts? Cultured isn’t just a wine & cheese shop—it’s a lifestyle. If you haven’t been yet, grab your people (or just yourself, no shame) and go treat your taste buds to something truly elite. 🧀🍷🔥“

“One of the beds burgers in Louisville. Really good crispy fries. Atmosphere is laid back and then some. Service was friendly but could have been a little more attentive. Minor complaint. It’s a great place to go for a burger and a beer. I will return.“

“Delicious. Try the garlic edamame. You’ll love it. I had the super white tuna and salmon sashimi. The fish was fresh and plentiful. My only regret: I’ve had carry out twice and both times food items were missing. The first time: sashimi. The second time: soup and salad. I’m going to give it another go.“

“Cool place!!! Great beer and burgers!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent pizza with a good brew selection. I look forward to visiting again!“

“I really enjoyed my experience. The staff I spoke to seemed really nice. When going somewhere new, I personally experience a lot of anxiety when trying to decide something new, and I rely heavily on the employees to help recommend items for me. The long-haired feller who helped me was super nice and inviting, which I appreciate.“

“Good food but very upset that the menus are not the same from one restaurant to the next. I need gluten-free and dairy-free. The Omni slays it with the El Chingon but it's not available at Hurstbourne. Ughhhh. What a letdown. Please change this! I would order this meal every week or more.“
