A new kind of Austin hangout

ATX Things analysis of Austin's dog-friendly scene shows most patios merely tolerate dogs — a leash hooked to a table leg, a shared water bowl if you're lucky. Brew and Paws was built around a different idea: give the dogs their own 1.6 acres to actually run, and give their people a real bar and restaurant to enjoy while it happens. It's a dog-friendly bar, restaurant, and off-leash dog park in one address, designed so nobody has to sit out.

Whether you're stopping in for a casual drink, meeting friends for dinner, or working remotely with your dog by your side, the kitchen serves satisfying food alongside cold beer, cocktails, and refreshing drinks — and the park next door means the dog gets just as good an afternoon as you do.

Pro Tip

Grand Opening is Saturday, July 25, 2026, 9am–9pm. Regular hours after that are daily, 9am–9pm.

Off-leash play, done responsibly

The 1.6-acre dog park is the heart of the property, and Brew and Paws manages it with real rules rather than an honor system. To play off-leash, dogs must be:

  • At least 4 months old
  • Spayed or neutered
  • Current on Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP vaccinations
  • Free of ticks and fleas
Heads Up

Owners are required to supervise their dogs at all times — unattended dogs aren't permitted — and aggressive dogs will be asked to leave. Smoking and vaping aren't allowed on the property.

Brew and Paws also hosts dog birthday parties for owners who want to book the park for a private celebration.

Food, drinks, and membership

The kitchen and bar keep things simple and satisfying: think cheeseburgers and fries alongside cold beer, cocktails, and other refreshing drinks. Online ordering for pickup is listed as coming soon on the Brew and Paws website.

Note

For regulars, a membership program is available — worth a look if the dog park is going to become part of your weekly routine.

Free Wi-Fi and shared tables also make the space a workable option for remote work, so there's no need to choose between a productive afternoon and a tired, happy dog.

The bottom line

Austin has no shortage of patios that allow dogs. Brew and Paws is betting that a dedicated 1.6-acre off-leash park, paired with a real kitchen and bar, is a category of its own — and its Grand Opening this Saturday, July 25, 2026, is the first chance to see whether that bet pays off.
