Pet-friendly patios
Lazy Dog (Downtown Summerlin and Town Square) is the standard bearer for dog patios. Both locations offer ample space and special menus for your pup. If Downtown’s more your jam, Triple George Grill (201 N. 3rd St.) has classic American fare that never disappoints, and neither does its outdoor space, which offers prime people- and dog-watching. If you have a more active pet, fuel up at Mt. Charleston Lodge (5375 Kyle Canyon Road) with its stunning vistas, then take pup for a hike after.
The Pets Issue
Big Dog’s Brewing Company (4543 N. Rancho Drive) is tops for handcrafted microbrews and a good place for lazy weekend afternoons. Shakespeare’s Grille & Pub (790 Coronado Center Drive) is a beloved Henderson joint offering more than 100 draft and bottled beers. And Grape Street Cafe (Downtown Summerlin) is an elegant spot for a tipple, with signature cocktails and wines by the glass or the bottle.
Plenty of local java joints feature patios for those dog day afternoons. Sunrise Coffee House (3130 E. Sunset Road), the original Mothership Coffee location, has pour-overs and handcrafted espressos, as well as vegan and vegetarian food options. The Boca Park location of Sambalatte (750 S. Rampart Blvd. #9) is a good respite in a busy shopping center. And should your pet happen to have insomnia, Madhouse Coffee (8470 W. Desert Inn Road) is open 24 hours a day year-round.
