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.“

“I'm not drinking anywhere but here. The bartender was super friendly. You dont see natural care and concern in ther service industry at this caliber.. I watched him offer a patron a ride come as well as after offering me a menu of a local spit--- offering me his personal food. I've never walked in an establishment and had the vibe scream "family" so loudly. Nothing but love here.“

“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!“

“we went for breakfast yesterday, great food, service, clean and stylish!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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 💎“

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

“Big thank you Shippingport for giving our neighborhood a cool place to hang out. Great beers Greater people!“

“Our office had the best holiday get together at Molly Malone’s today. We reached out just a couple of weeks ago and asked if the kitchen could accommodate various dietary restrictions, and you guys totally came through for us. I had the best vegan shepherd’s pie of my life and can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you all so very much for making today go great for us. Everyone raved about the food. Thanks again, and we’ll be back soon!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“The sours are all fire! The novelty beers were hot or miss but the ones that are good were super fun and creative, all quite sweet though. I didn't try any of the more conventional beers so these might be good too. The atmosphere is super cute!“

“Great experience away from the tourist traps. They bring Whiskey to a art form. Hidden gem in my opinion.“

“we went for breakfast yesterday, great food, service, clean and stylish!!!!!“

“The food, service, and wait time was great. I will definitely be back and I recommend everyone to try this restaurant.“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing selection of flavors!!! 💙“

“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“

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

“🐾 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!“

“Very good food🌮😋 I will definitely return“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. 🧀🍷🔥“

“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!“

“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.“

“I enjoyed the time I spent at Akasha trying some of their beers. Both the bartender and the customers seemed really welcoming and friendly, and I had a few interesting conversations with them. The beers I tried were all sours, and they were delicious. The beer quality seemed high, and there were no off flavors. The gose and peach chiffon sour were very tasty, and I’d love to try their other beers someday. Next time I visit Louisville I’ll have to stop by again.“

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

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

“Great coffee, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere.“

“Burgers were great. Those fries though…SO FREAKING GOOD! Randomly found this place while visiting from Pittsburgh. Will come back if we are ever back in the area!“

“Truly the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to stateside in the last 50 years.
Flavor, portion size,service, prices were beyond excellent. I had a burrito, and red tamales. Unreal!
It’s somewhat of a hole in the wall, but clean. If you want authentic Mexican, this side of the border, you don’t want to skip this place“

“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!“

“Great Experience in the Land of France, I especially like the Escargot, Calamari and Lamb Chops! But the special tenderloin with salad was SPECIAL and the Ruby Trout was full of capers. To top of the evening a trio of gelato, what a real treat. Jeff our server and the hostess were also attentive to the table and friendly. Put this restaurant on your list to visit and enjoy a meal together.“

“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 🐶❤️🍕“

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

“Fantastic space for all types of coffee days --they have a very cozy bar/ledge in the front of the shop for a quick stand-up coffee and in the back and upstairs, plent of large tables if you need to get some work done. The back patio has a covered roof but plenty of fresh air coming in. Clean and neat with a touch of coziness, and the coffee was excellent.“
