We know Asheville loves it's four legged friends because we constantly get asked one question: Where can I bring my dog to eat/drink/shop??

And, we hear you with you. Personally, I bring my best friend Luna 🐶everywhere I can.

So, we set out to round up a slew of pup-friendly locations so you can plan your days out-and-about without leaving your companion at home.

Here is a roundup of30+ dog-friendly places in downtown, including restaurants, breweries + shops.

Don't wander downtown much? No worries, pawsome guides to the rest of WNC is coming soon.

Did we miss a favorite downtown dog-friendly spot? Let us know. And remember, it is always important to ask if your dog is allowed.

It amazes me how dog-friendly Asheville is. That “My dog digs Asheville” sticker? Yeah, I proudly rep that.

Now that warmer weather is here, I am excited to bring Luna around downtown – I know she is excited as well. Brewery hopping + patio bites here we come. 🙌

Have a favorite dog-friendly spot not on this list?? Let me know!! (Or the best place for a doggie play date??) Know of a great dog spot on a different side of AVL?? Tell me that as well – another list is soon to come.

Here’s to a great week, Asheville!!
