Best dog-friendly restaurants in Old Towne Orange

For years, dogs wished and plotted for their humans to stay home. They pawed, whined, and put on their cutest faces to convince us not to go—only to be let down. Here we share the best dog-friendly restaurants in Old Towne Orange.

Last year, they finally won. We were forced to stay in, and in turn, we got to spend some extra quality time with our furry pals.

With things now resembling some type of pre-covid normalcy, it is harder to leave them behind. We may not always have a choice to bring our dogs everywhere with us, but we’re happy to share that living in Old Towne Orange makes it easier to include them in our local outings!

Meet Arthur, our resident dog-friendly patio expert. He takes his job of scoping out fur-iendly spaces very seriously.

He loves any place where he can successfully third wheel date night, supervise brunch, and make sure everyone is well behaved while enjoying cocktails.

While most of our neighborhood restaurants with outdoor seating welcome dogs, Arthur has weighed in on his favorite places.
