Pup-Friendly Places in Wichita

Just when we thought that Central Standard Brewing couldn't get any cooler, it does. Not only is CSB a great place to try a new craft beer, play lawn games and relax, it's  also the perfect spot to visit with your doggies!

Central Standard Brewing is very dog-friendly, allowing dogs both on the patio and inside. There are even water bowls on the patio, so your dog can enjoy a nice cold drink while you do, too! CSB offers a wide variety of tasty drinks including seasonal, Belgian, IPA, barrel-aged, sour and wild/Brett beers. CSB's beers are brewed using only the best ingredients available.

You're also more than welcome to bring your dog on over to the Hopping Gnome Brewing Company! Located at 1710 E. Douglas Ave, Hopping Gnome offers a variety of high-quality craft beers, including selections of American, British, Belgian, German, and seasonal styles.

The staff at the taproom and microbrewery takes pride in each new flavor they create. The Hopping Gnome offers a totally beer-focused atmosphere, so grab a few friends (or a few dogs) and check it out!  

Perhaps the most surprising place on this list, Pottery Barn allows dogs in the store. A Manager at the Wichita location told us that they have a water bowl and will even give out dog treats with the owner's permission.

Located at 2040 N. Rock Road, Wichita's Pottery Barn opened on October 26, 2016, making it the first in the state of Kansas. Pottery Barn is a national retailer of bed and bath products, furniture, home decor and more. The original Pottery Barn was located in lower Manhattan, opening in 1949. 

Lowe's stores have been known to allow pets by location, and according to the local representatives we spoke to, Wichita Lowe's locations allow you to bring you dog along while you shop. 

With locations at 333 S. Ridge, 11959 E. Kellogg Dr. S. and 2626 N. Maize Rd., you're never too far away. Lowe's is a great place to go for home improvement project supplies. The store carries appliances, building supplies, flooring, hardware, heating and cooling, home decor, lawn and garden supplies, paint, plumbing and much more.

When you can't bring your dog inside, what's the next best thing? Having drinks on the patio together! Many Wichita establishments confirmed that they allow dogs outdoors, but again, you should always call to double-check! Here are some patios that will welcome your pup!

Wichita's The Anchor is located at  1109 E. Douglas Ave. With a front patio that welcomes dogs, your dog will be able to experience the hustle and bustle of downtown Wichita first-hand at The Anchor. 

The Anchor is a downtown bar and grill with a laid-back and social environment.Known for its signature dishes like the Haystack, Chicken-fried pork loin, and more, you're sure to find something you'll love. The Anchor also highlights a large selection of drink including crafty cocktails, wine, spirits, and over 50 craft beers on tap.

Though the west side Buffalo Wild Wings told us that they do not allow dogs on their patio, a manager at the restaurant's east location said that the east side location does allow leashed dogs on the patio. (You should still, as always, call ahead to verify before bringing your dog along).

Located at 3236 N. Rock Rd., Buffalo Wild Wings specializes in well, wings. The restaurant offers 21 flavors of wings as well as a variety of burgers, sandwiches and wraps. Equipped with several flat screen tvs, it's a great place to catch a game (if you're dining inside, sans dog). "B-dubs", as the restaurant is also known, also offers a trivia game to play at your table while you wait! 

Nestled in Clifton Square, Dempsey's Burger Pub offers some of the best burgers around. Seriously, ask anybody. This is largely because Dempsey's staff believe in the importance of locally-sourced ingredients, offering burgers made from only the freshest, locally-grown products available.

The restaurant has a front patio that offers a perfect place to soak up some sun on a nice day. Dempsey's Burger Pub allows dogs on the patio, too, so you can bring a furry friend along while you eat. If you've never visited Dempsey's Burger Pub, it's definitely worth checking out. 

Located at the intersection of Douglas and Hillside at 4800 E. Douglas, the Hill Bar and Grill has a front patio where you and your four-legged friend are welcome!

Located at 1144 N. Bitting, R Coffee House's patio is "absolutely" dog-friendly, a representative told us. R Coffee House offers an eclectic but relaxed atmosphere.

If you've never visited, it's likely because this coffee house is hiding in the heart of the scenic Riverside district. The locally-owned joint loves to showcase the talents of Wichitans, hosting local musicians and even selling locally-made gifts! Stop by sometime and check out a variety of daily specials!

Reverie Roasters, located in the Douglas Design District, offers a front patio where your dog is welcome to join you. The coffee roastery prides itself on offering great quality coffees that are roasted lightly, unlocking the full flavor potential of each bean.

According to a number of reports online, Sonic Drive-In is dog-friendly, but this policy varies by location. As there are more than 20 Sonic locations in the Wichita area, we request that you contact your preferred location before bringing your pup to the outdoor tables. 

Sonic offers a variety of fast-food options including chicken, burgers, hot dogs, toasters and more. It's also a prime location to grab a soft drink, slush, or shake as it offers a wide variety of options and has regular drink specials.
