The Howe Daily Kitchen & Bar
$$ · Moderate·Leashed only
A full-service restaurant and bar in South Minneapolis with a year-round dog-friendly patio the owners call the Paw-tio. The patio is tented and heated through the winter, so dogs can join even in cold months. It serves lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and 40 beers on tap.
Why it made the list
It has one of the few genuinely year-round dog patios in Minneapolis and a three-course dog menu, so pups get their own meal while owners dine.
Good to know before you go
Per the restaurant's own website, the Paw-tio is dog-friendly year-round and features a three-course dog menu; dogs must stay on the patio since only service animals may enter indoors. Hours are published on howempls.com.
Practical notes
Order from the three-course dog menu - it is the reason many regulars bring their dogs.
In winter the patio is tented and heated, so a cold-weather visit is still comfortable.
