These 31 Restaurants In Rochester Allow Dogs

If you're a pet lover and can't stand leaving Fido at home, Rochester is actually the city for you!

I couldn't believe it when I read it either, but in response to the "patrons with dogs in restaurants" debate city council has been examining, I decided to take a look at how dog-friendly Rochester really is when it comes to restauarants.

According to BringFIdo.com, "There are 31 pet friendly restaurants in Rochester, MN that welcome dogs at their outdoor tables." You might be able to guess some of them already, but there a few surprises!

Check out the list:

• Roscoe's Root Beer & Ribs (they only cater now, but who knows - they could come back.)
• Forager Brewery
• Five West Kitchen & Bar
• Broadway Bar & Pizza
• Noodles & Company
• Panera Bread
• Café Steam (when there are outdoor tables)
• Cowboy Jack's Saloon
• Hefe Rojo
• Dooley's Pub
• Potbelly Sandwich Shop
• The Loop
• The Half Barrel 
• Caribou Coffee
• Great Harvest Bread
• Pi Pizza
• Chipotle
• Five Guys
• Mac's Diner (when it existed)
• Victoria's Restaurant and Wine Bar
• Dairy Queen
• Famous Dave's 
• Valentino's

Many more to add to this list too! Ofcourse, some of these locations have closed and changed. We've been through a lot of restaurant changes and closings over the past three years! It's best to check with the restaurant beforehand.
