The Garden Bar dog-friendly patio is open Thu 4-10 pm, Fri-Sat 4-11 pm, and Sun 2-8 pm, walk-ins only, 21+ per the lounge's own website. Dogs should remain leashed on the patio.

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.
