50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Milwaukee

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner and the bartenders make this the perfect neighborhood Irish bar. Great atmosphere and the food is top notch. Great portion sizes and a good value. A must for Friday Fish Fry, it is fantastic! And the chicken wings are out of this world. 5-stars for O'Lydias!“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“Upscale casual cozy restaurant with creative delicious food and cocktails. A very special place!“

“Good food, good beer and friendly staff. Makes for a nose easy stop after you tour the Harley museum“

“I went in at lunchtime, service was quick and the food was amazing. I got the Axo Omelet with homemade potatoes. The potatoes were delicious, and the Omelet was great with cilantro and avocado ontop of it. I will be returning as the menu options all sounded so good that I had trouble deciding what I wanted. My next try will be the biscuits and gravy with chorizo! The staff were also really polite and seemed happy to be serving me food, I appreciated that. Its awesome to have some good breakfast place within walking distance from my apartment!“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“I love love love going to Leons. I live in Las Vegas, NV and every time I come into town I will always go to Leons. Absolutely hands down the best frozen custard I've ever had!! I ordered a double scoop of strawberry and chocolate. My boyfriend ordered a strawberry malt and he stated it was delicious! Probably one of the best he's ever had.“

“Put this at the top of your must-visit Milwaukee list. Enjoyed both amazing beer and hospitality during my visit last evening. We love you Central Waters Brewing 💕“

“If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension.

This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry.
It’s alchemy.
It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry.

The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident.

That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“Very friendly waitstaff; excellent food and service“

“Been going to Broken Bat since they moved to their new location on 1st and Pittsburgh. I absolutely recommend this place and its entirety and wish I lived closer. Whether it’s wiffle ball, darts, or kicking back and enjoying a Beach Ball (my personal favorite Pineapple Milkshake IPA) no brewery comes close to offering the atmosphere of Broken Bat. But what really makes Broken Bat so special especially to the city of Milwaukee is they care about the people and the surrounding community. They aren’t here to just make another craft beer and take your dollar. If you’ve ever met the owner Tim you’ll understand what I’m saying. So… Whether you’re in the area or at a local store, grab a beer made by Broken Bat Brewing Company. You’re doing yourself a favor and supporting an establishment that deserves it. PS- if you’re a Marquette fan (or not) -> Find the beer “Ring Out Ahoya” and crack it open during Marquettes deep run this year“

“I come here all the time and both the drinks and the desserts are absolutely delectable fr. The price is also decent and it's a good place to study for students because it's open and has a student discount. Also the service is great“

“Stopped in Sunday morning to hang out and journal around 10 am and by the time I left at noon this place was thriving with groups and like minded solos working in a comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the hot latte with white chocolate and it was fantastic, served with nothing but smiles. I’m not someone who eats things that are on the sweet side but decided to indulge in the mini pancakes (crazy mix) and they were soooo good. I look forward to coming back. I also learned they are open late and as someone who doesn’t drink much I look forward to testing out the atmosphere in the evening sometime.“

“Amorphic's 3 year anniversary party was absolutely epic. The space is incredible. I can't wait to try the golf simulator. The beer keeps evolving, and it attracts a very nice crowd. I highly recommend bringing friends and building memories.“

“After moving here four years ago, I had given up hope of finding a place with genuinely decent baked fish. I finally found it here! The food is excellent, and the staff is absolutely amazing.

I've had Anjalesa twice now, and she has been wonderful—truly exceptional service.

If I could complain about one thing, it's the consistent lack of salad. I've come three Fridays now, and every time, the salad is completely gone, which is the only side I can have. They can't have one of the best ranches and not carry enough salad that they run out every Friday I've been here! I end up paying full price but leave with no side.

I hope the management sees this and addresses the salad stock, because otherwise, this place is a huge winner.“

“Had the burger last night in Shorewood. It was fantastic. The crowds were big and the wait wasn't very long. Super fresh and so much flavor. Thanks for adding to this event!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“Love to treat my dog to ice-cream!“

“We held our Wedding Welcome Party at MobCraft Beer the night before our big day. Elise was so fun, professional, and organized throughout the entire process. Elise was helpful in providing her recommendations for serving sizes based on our guest count and provided us with plenty of options based on her experiences! I would recommend MobCraft to anyone for their event because there are many options for where your event can be all within the brewery, plus overall its an amazing environment. We chose the Game Room, because we wanted our group to have its own space but we still wanted to be apart of the breweries atmosphere with the other customers. We also used the in-house catering MobCraft provided and it was delicious! Again, Elise was great to work with and it turned into such a fun night! Highly Recommend!!“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“

“Best coffee shop I've tried in Milwaukee, hands down. Good quality, good pricing, and great super-quick service. I've gotten in and out in less than a minute which is incredible. Dig it, will continue to be a return customer!“

“Came for lunch with my 4 year old grandson. The food was great. We had the Godzilla burger, and. omelette rice. Loved the miso soup and the Japanese pickles are amazing!! My grandson was so excited to sit upstairs by Godzilla and was so excited to see mothra, garidos and magicarp too! Great service and atmosphere!“

“Torzala is fantastic! A lovely family run brewery with some top notch beers. Seriously, we have not had a bad beer here. The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is fun.“

“they have delicious food! and the staff is very nice“

“This place deserves to be much better known. They have the best bahn mi by far in the greater Milwaukee area. The balance of flavors/ingredients is spot on, the baguette perfectly toasted. The pho is great too, and the portions are ample. Plenty of veg options. More of a take out place, but there is seating available for dine in.“

“Only place around we know where you can play pingpong for free! They had pinball machines, darts and pingpong in the back. We came here for my mother's 64th birthday because she wanted to play table tennis and it was so fun! I haven't seen her smile like that in a long time!“

“Fantastic time here. Highly recommend the Acabrada brew and the Oktoberfest. But seriously, do a flight and try a few. Chris (Owner and Brewer) and Hannah(bartender) were amazing. Just an awesome afternoon. Stop here!!!!!!!“

“First time here today was amazing I had the hot mess and it was to die for ! I will definitely be back !“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“Great drinks, great pastries, great service. Every. SingIe. Time. I sure do miss those weekend chorizo hand pies though!“

“Service and food is always excellent here“

“Visiting from England there was only one brewery tour that we were definitely doing and it was the PBR one! The tour is really interesting, our guide at 12 on Friday the 16th of May (sorry I forgot your name) was awesome, was a knowledgeable machine when it came to PBR. Wonderful stories and plenty of beer, Jim the owner was a great guy too, not as great as his wife who managed to get the football (soccer) on tv so I could watch Aston Villa ✅ Absolutely awesome place, plenty of cool merch in the shop too.“

“Great place to bring your dogs.“

“All they have for food is all they need for food: pizza. They have classic and modern cabinets + enough pinball, skee ball, and hoops games to keep you entertained. Plays are $0.25/player for every game, but they have specials that lower the cost per play even further. Great for small and large parties alike

Vegetarian options: Mona Lisa is a margarita pizza

Dietary restrictions: They have ciders and seltzer, but I do wish they had more rice beers

Parking: More reliable parking is on N Jackson

Kid-friendliness: The bar is strictly 21+

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps to main floor. I believe there's an elevator to the second floor“

“Awesome place!! My uncle used to be part owner years ago and my mom worked there. Supposedly I was conceived on the bar“

“Stopped here during a dive bar tour and met with the owner. What a gem of a place to visit. Felt right at home and highly recommend going here. Felt right at home like a place back in or town of 4000 residents in northwest Ohio. Will definitely return. Cheers“

“We decided to make a quick stop in during a weekend to Milwaukee. It was an amazing experience! Bartender was awesome, spirits and cocktails was truly unique and so good. We purchased quite a bit to take home, including some Christmas gifts for family. Would highly recommend.“

“Every time I go to Baya Bar I always get the Bella Nutella Bowl. It is so good it’s a must to try! Baya Bar is my favorite juice bar to go too! They have many different options such smoothies, bowls, toast, etc for everyone. The staff is amazing and always welcoming. Orders come out pretty fast. I highly recommend everyone to try this place you will love it!“

“great place to sit outside with the family. farmers market is awesome“

“I am so unobservant! How did I not know that this splendid place has been open in my neighborhood for over 2 years?!?! Just lovely inside and out. My group of friends and I had a really nice time trying their great selection of brews and I even took home a bottle of Saison Bay View for later on. They have outdoor seating that I am looking forward to relaxing on for many days after work this summer. The bartendress was knowledgeable and super friendly. We'll definitely be back now that I know this hidden gem is nearby.“

“Stopped in for an afternoon coffee. It was fresh and flavorful. My fiancé had the espresso martini and she said they were incredible.“

“Run, don't walk! Go visit Stone Creek Coffee! Go for the coffee and atmosphere, stay for the FOOD MENU. I'm from out of town and had no particular expectations for this place... When I went up to order, my eyes wandered to the pastry case, then to the egg sandwich board, then to the yogurt bowls - and it just kept getting hotter along the way!! The offerings were creative, savory, sweet, healthy and fulfilling.... No regular breakfast sammie here: how about toasted bread with egg, butternut squash, brown sage butter sauce, and bacon crumbles?! mmm“

“Great bartenders, fun events!“

“Such a great atmosphere and even better food!“

“Nothing I write can capture how much I enjoyed my experience at Tied House. We just happened to pass by their beautiful outdoor garden, and I’m so very happy we decided to go in. Julia, our server, was so helpful and very personable. Melissa and Adam, the owners, were amazing. They explained their craft to us and helped us to understand the creativity and passion that goes into every cocktail. All businesses should share their enthusiasm!! I wish we lived closer so we could visit them more often! I promise that every time we find ourselves in Milwaukee, we will be visiting the Tied House!!“

“Pricing is reasonable for seafood and food is delicious. Crab legs were AMAZING!“

“Great place! Great atmosphere, staff, & beer selection! Highly recommend!“

“This place is always just the best! It’s cozy, the wings are amazing, and the drinks are flowing. I’ve never had a bad experience.
Another HUGE positive… the inside is renovated! It’s not a dumpy dark dive bar. It’s a local spot with a great ambiance.
The place can get crowded and isn’t huge - groups under 10 are definitely recommended.
Street parking only around there, so be prepared to walk a little. But it’s not insane.“
