Choose your Jacksonville outing

  1. Coffee & brunch: Southern Grounds Avondale

    The Avondale kitchen serves breakfast, brunch and dinner, so this can be more than a quick coffee stop. The published dog welcome applies to the covered front patio on St. Johns Avenue. Indoor pet access has not been confirmed.

  2. Food hall & friends: The Block Jax

    The food hall lets your group choose from different vendors, but its dog-friendly welcome does not cover the whole property. The main dining and turf area under the pavilion is excluded. The separate dog park is another experience with its own entry rules, rather than unrestricted access with your meal.

  3. Dinner & drinks: Top Dawg Tavern - Jacksonville

    This is the choice for a group that wants food and a game on TV. The covered patio also has a stage for live music. The Jacksonville location explicitly welcomes dogs at outdoor dining, with no published dog-menu or water-bowl promise.

Make your dog part of the Jacksonville outing

A coffee date can last a little longer when the dog gets to come too. So can dinner with friends. The places below offer different kinds of company: a neighborhood cafe, a lively patio or a food hall with choices for the whole group.

Find the outdoor area that fits your plans

Dog-friendly does not mean every table is available to you. Each card shows the permitted area and any published restrictions, beside the venue's own policy. Open the BellyUp! Jax profile when a place catches your eye.
