A Dog-Friendly Guide To AshevilleI will warn y’all, this trip itinerary is very beer-focused, so the ratio of breweries to restaurants and other spots is way off. That doesn’t mean I didn’t do all the research, though. These are still my favorite dog-friendly spots in Asheville. 🐾Authorsherboozytails

Best Dog-Friendly Breweries 🍻

Wicked Weed Brewing's Brewpub
With a huge beer menu, chances are there will be something for every beer lover. They have a huge dog-friendly patio, parts of which are covered in case of rain. They also have heaters and fire pits for cooler days. Also, make sure to check the merch area for some fun dog swag.

Green Man Brewery
This was our first brewery that allowed pups inside, and we were thrilled! The beer was delicious. They are known for their ales, and it came out with two dog treats for the pups, which I thought was an incredible touch. The taproom was a bit small, but they also had a large number of outdoor tables.

Twin Leaf Brewery
With a solid list of beers (18 to be exact) and even some CBD options, this quickly became one of our favorite breweries of the day. The highlight? They allowed dogs into their taproom! They didn’t have a ton of seating, but we were lucky to go when it wasn’t busy.

One World Brewing
Probably my favorite Asheville brewery, One World has a speakeasy vibe while still maintaining the beloved brewery feel. Located in the basement of a downtown building, the taproom is small yet totally dog-friendly. They have some tables outside, but I promise you the inside is worth it. Plus, their selection of malty beers was out of this world (pun intended). Food Bonus: They don’t technically offer food, but Farm Burger is right above them and you can order it and have it delivered to the taproom. It’s delicious!

Burial Beer Co. South Slope Taproom
Another of the top breweries in Asheville, Burial has a huge and funky outdoor area that is totally dog-friendly. They even have some old cars turned into tables that make perfect photo ops. Their main beer focus revolves around IPAs and pales, but they had an incredible pils and other easy-drinking beers. Food Bonus: They have a full kitchen specializing in American comfort food, but we didn’t get a chance to try it.

Highland Brewing Company
This brewery is slightly outside the downtown area but definitely worth visiting if you have a car. Their space is huge, and their taproom and patio are both dog-friendly. They are actually Asheville’s oldest brewery and still offer their Gaelic Ale, which is known as Asheville’s very first craft beer.

DSSOLVR
Asheville’s newest and funkiest brewery, DSSOLVR is known for its surreal vibes. Their taproom and patio are dog-friendly, and they offer some incredible beers. The brews range from phenomenal classics like a picture-perfect Kölsch to innovative cold ones like their sea salt, coriander, peach, prickly pear, blackberry, and blueberry sour. Food Bonus: While they don’t have any on-site food, they often bring in food trucks or other vendors.

Wedge Brewery Downtown
Wedge was one of the most recommended breweries for our trip, and although we didn’t get the chance to visit, I still got the full scoop on this dog-friendly Asheville brewery. They have two locations, but their original is the most visited. They have a huge dog-friendly patio and a plethora of beers in just about every style. Food Bonus: As a brewpub, they offer a wide selection of eats!

Dog-Friendly Eats & Bars🌭

Rocky's Hot Chicken Shack
While we’re not in Nashville, Asheville also has a great selection of hot chicken options. Rocky’s was phenomenal, and we loved that their patio was enclosed, covered, and totally dog-friendly.
See More
Biscuit Head
As the name might suggest, this is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. But mainly brunch. Their biscuits are phenomenal, and the staff is so kind. Their patio is dog-friendly but kind of small, so definitely get there early if you’re bringing a dog.
See More
Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar
Y’all, I’m still dreaming about Tupelo Honey. They are world-famous for their chicken, biscuits, and brunch, but truly everything we had was incredible. Their patio is dog-friendly and partially covered, but they do fill up very quickly, so I recommend calling a few days in advance to make a reservation.
See More
Battery Park Book Exchange & Champagne Bar
Okay, this might be my new favorite place in the whole wide world. Books, champagne, cocktails, and dogs—what more could you ask for? They are dog-friendly and have an incredible space you won’t want to miss.

Best Dog-Friendly Hotels 🐾

Kimpton Hotel Arras
I’ve said this once, and I’ll say it again: Kimpton hotels are the best hotels when it comes to dog-friendliness. And really, just the best when it comes to being incredible hotels. Their pet policy is the same across the board: you can bring in any pets, no matter their breed, weight, or even species, at no extra cost.
