Brunch with our boy

We’ve always loved the Roost, but the kind and dog-loving staff who brought our pup something to drink made our visit that much more lovely :) definitely would recommend to any dog/owner ♥️

Free and a good size

As far as pup cups go, I like what sonic gives our dog. It’s got a wider lip which is nice, so it’s not difficult for him to lick all the dog-friendly ice cream without making a huge mess. It was a nice place to stop on a hot day !

Leashed spot to relax

We loved our afternoon spent on the Nelson’s front lawn ! It’s lovely place to people / dog watch. When we went, there was plenty of shade and lots of friendly people asking to pet our dog. Be sure to bring some water for your furry friend, though, because it can still be toasty even in the shade. It’s a great place to socialize and get used to being around lots of people.

Lovely but tricky for large parties

as far as dog friendly goes, they were great ! The wait-staff was friendly and excited to see our little guy. However, I must warn you that if you sit at the long table outside, there is no table service … meaning that you have to order from the bar and are limited to only appetizers (no access to main courses, even though the other tables outside get full table service…). All in all, great food and drinks ! We just wish we could have also enjoyed some schnitzel ;)

I would recommend sitting at one of the smaller tables so you can fully enjoy some authentic German lunch or dinner.

Local favorite

From treats to toys to food to pet care supplies — Lucky Dog has good recommendations and inventory to choose from. The people who work there are SO kind and helpful. We come here even just to visit and socialize our pup. I think it’s worth the stop, even if you’re just passing through town.

Dog friendly culture

I have lived in Lawrence for quite a while now and have always LOVED seeing the sweet pups that come enjoy the patio at free state — so you can imagine it was a *must* for us and our new puppy once he was all vaccinated :) the staff were sweet to him, the other guests were fawning over him, and there’s even a large water dish outside for pups who need a drink while you dine ! Not to mention the food never disappoints 🙌🏼 I’d recommend this to anyone, but be sure your dog is chill with other pups being around because when the weather is nice there’s plenty on the patio !
