While it faces tough competition from other pet-loving parts of the country, Seattle is widely considered one of the country’s most pet-friendly cities. Some neighborhoods, including Lake Union, Capitol Hill, and Ballard, are especially amenable to man’s best friend. If you’re looking to spend quality time out and about with your pet in the coming months, keep this list of dog-friendly bars and restaurants in Seattle in mind.
Bad Jimmy’s Brewing Co.
One of many brew houses in the Ballard Brewery District, Bad Jimmy’s has a charming atmosphere made more enjoyable to patrons through its welcoming attitude to dogs. The dog-friendly tasting room also welcomes children before 7pm. Bad Jimmy’s is located on Leary Way between AMLI Mark24 and AMLI Wallingford.
Belltown Pub
No matter whether you’re watching a game, playing a game, or catching up with friends over grub, your dog is welcome by your side at Belltown Pub. Popular among pet owners, Belltown Pub has a special dog menu.
Chuck’s Hop Shop

Fremont Brewing Company
Ten minute’s walk from AMLI Wallingford, Fremont brewing Company is another dog-friendly hops emporium with a large selection of beers. The brewery’s environment is warm and welcoming, even if the taproom is known for being chilly in winter.
Kaladi Brothers Coffee
Kaladi Brothers’ dog-friendly nature may come from the brothers’ Alaskan heritage, but is welcome by pet owners who frequent the roasters’ only Seattle location. The Capitol Hill Cafe is a 20-minute walk from AMLI’s South Lake Union apartments, and will be even closer to AMLI Arc.
