Celebrate the Dog Days of Summer at PR 🐶

Woof, there it is! We’ve officially reached the dog days of summer, aka that time of the season when the days are hot—but fall is also right around the corner. And speaking of dogs, Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, is National Dog Day!

Our dog-friendly patio is a favorite among Raleighites, students, and tourists. Any and all ages, sizes, and breeds are welcome—as long as they’re leashed up and well-behaved. (Keep the barking to a minimum, furry friends! 😉) We’ve got cold water bowls to keep your pets hydrated, and if they’re really on their best behavior, they might even get lucky with a treat! And we won’t tell if you throw them an extra french fry or two…

As a bonus, our patio is partially covered and we have plenty of umbrellas to keep you and your pup(s) dry, no matter what Mother Nature might throw at us during this in-between season.

We love doggos around these parts! Don’t hesitate to bring your well-behaved furry friends to hang out on our patio on National Dog Day Aug. 26 and any day!

Note: We do not accept reservations for our patio.
