Dog Days of Summer: Guide to Downtown's Dog-Friendly Patios

SHARE

As much as many of us would wish, we cannot take our dogs everywhere we go this summer. But with the weather finally settling in, you may be coming less inclined to leave your pup at home. Thankfully, Milwaukee has a variety of restaurants and bars that welcome dogs to join in for breakfast, lunch or dinner on their outdoor patios.

While all of these restaurants differ in their menus and atmosphere, one thing remains true amongst them all -- they all welcome your four-legged friends!
