Austin is one of the most pet-friendly cities in the US, and the 2nd Street District itself is incredibly pet-friendly. You and your furry friend (or friends!) can have an amazing time here. With plenty to eat, drink, and do, the only issue you may have is figuring out what to do.

We’ll give you some of our favorite options, but don’t feel limited to this list. In the 2nd Street District, if you see an outdoor patio at a restaurant, you and your furbaby will be able to enjoy time together there. Many of our shops are also pet friendly so after you have had your fill of delicious eats you can get your shopping on!
