Avoca

$$ · ModerateLeashed only

An Irish-American comfort food bar on the Upper East Side with a covered sidewalk patio and back courtyard where leashed dogs are welcome. Its food menu includes a dedicated dog section with German Shepherd's Pie, Mutt Loaf, biscuits and dog-friendly ice cream.

Why it made the list

A rare NYC patio where the kitchen literally cooks for your dog alongside you.

Good to know before you go

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor patio and courtyard areas only (NYC health code bars them indoors). The official online menu lists Mutt Loaf ($13), Bacon, Biscuits and a Dog-ssert ice cream ($8). Staff have been known to bring out dog beds for canine diners.

Practical notes

  • Ask for the covered sidewalk or back-courtyard tables when booking
  • The dog ice cream sells out on warm weekends
