Cafés · Centretown, Ottawa
A café, bar and creative space set in a 150-year-old heritage house beside Dundonald Park, serving espresso drinks, brunch, salads, local beer and creative cocktails. Its official FAQ explicitly welcomes dogs inside the café and on both its front and side patios, with water bowls on hand.
One of the only Ottawa cafés where your dog can actually come inside with you — not just wait on a patio — in a gorgeous heritage-house setting.
The official FAQ states: 'Patrons are welcome to bring their dogs into Art House when placing their orders at the bar and both our front and side patio are dog-friendly zones complete with a few scattered water bowls.' Dogs must be well-mannered — loud or aggressive behaviour is not acceptable. Current hours are not published on the site's FAQ; check the café's listing before visiting.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
