This list is by no means exhaustive. Check out the Keep Austin Dog Friendly iPhone App for a whole map of Austin's pet-friendly places.
It's always a good idea to call ahead and make sure four-legged patrons are welcome. Don’t forget to bring the essentials like food and water, bowls, doggy bags and leash.

Use your best judgement and read the cues your dog is sending to gauge their comfort or anxiety level.
