If you’re looking for a place to enjoy these spring days with some food or a beverage, here’s a combined list (in no particular order) of Memphis patios featured on this post and this post, plus another 15 new additions to start us off.

Thanks Lauren! I’m glad, too!

Tug's on Mud Island is also a fantastic place with a patio, great view, and good Happy Hour drinks and appetizers!
Thanks so much for posting this! Always love sitting on the patio for a meal!
Yay for patio weather!
I wonder which of these are dog friendly. Any idea?
the park ave MPC location (5061) has a patio too. granted the view isn't as pretty as the midtown location's but… it's outdoors
Are there any pet friendly restaurants/outdoor eats?
Belly Acres has a great patio and fabulous food!!
Cafe Eclectic has doggy friendly patios at all three locations!
Lost Pizza Co's patio is dog friendly! 🙂
The management (on-site owner) has cruel ways, but Cafe Ole in Cooper Young allows pets on its street side patio, for those wondering.
Fino's has some patio tables for having yummy sandwiches outside!
Our midtown location has a great porch up on the hill and we are dog friendly (leashed). We also will be bringing back the backyard yoga & tai chi in a few weeks for spring 🙂
xoxo, Kat …. Muddy's… 585 S Cooper
How did the Brooks Museum get overlooked! Only restaurant overlooking Overton Park! Gorgeous views.
Bahama Breeze by the Wolfchase Mall has a great patio.
Owen Brennan's too as well as Salsa's
Cooper Young Farmers market has wonderful outdoor seating Saturday mornings!
Hot Mess burritos, Fuel, and The Fresh Grind juices, smoothies, and teas are awesome to enjoy outside!
Mr. P’S Buffalo wings Hackscross
Don't forget about 3 Angels! They have a cute private patio and I've seen a dog chillin out there.
Great list, but don’t forget about Frida’s! A delicious Mexican restaurant located on Madison Ave that has a lovely patio and balcony.
These are great, my wife and I started are patio spring off Sunday at MiPueblo in Hernando's.
there are a couple of great places there as well like Blue Daze and Windy City.
Deli on the Square (Bogie's) has a great dog friendly patio for enjoying great food (breakfast or lunch) and people watching on the square.
High Cotton Brewery also has a nice outdoor patio. I think it's dog-friendly as well with some of the best local beer in Memphis!
Flying Saucer in Cordova has a great pet friendly patio.
Brushmark at Brooks Museum and patio at Houston’s.
Double J Smokehouse & Saloon has two patios, one up stairs and one down stairs!
great post. Outdoor seating is my first priority this time of year. Need some sunshine.
Great list! Don't forget Local Midtown, my personal favorite patio.
Movie & Pizza Company in Harbor Town
Aldo's and Bleu have dog-friendly patios as well. I thought Slider Inn does, too, but I'm not positive since I haven't taken my dog there. I second the comment on Tug's, and of course the River Inn roof is open air (though not outside) and overlooking the Mississippi.
Yall forgot about Sidestreetgrill
I’d say Slider Inn is dog friendly… or has been in the recent past, anyway.
Don't forget Bangkok Alley in East Memphis and in Collierville.
Bae Louie in Midtown has a nice outside patio, as well! Thanks for the list, can't wait to check out some of these places this spring/summer
*Bar Louie
Fuel, Fuel, Fuel!! fuel cafe ! Great shady patio and fresh, healthy, always well prepared food … Lots of vegy and vegan options … On Madison in midtown ..,
The Mellow Mushroom patio at Eastgate is dog friendly. Don't know about the other locations.
Holly, Andrew Michael has a lovely patio, complete with fireplace, and they are also dog-friendly. I had a lovely evening there a few weeks ago, and they were incredibly kind to my dog, in addition to serving my party a wonderful dinner!
Square Beans Coffee in Collierville and we’re dog friendly, too!
mellow mushroom pizza on Park Ave has a great covered patio!
You should check out the patio at Half Shell on Winchester near Hacks Cross – nice!!!
Thanks Kathy! Will do.
Add Kabob International on Dexter in Cordova: VERY nice patio with plants and pleasant decor.
Thanks Diane, it sounds great!
Thanks for posting dog-friendly restaurants! My friends and I will be meeting in Memphis for the first time. We are all women and will have doxies in a stroller. Are all these places in good areas of town? Are there areas to stay out of? Can you recommend hotels. Again, thank you and God bless!
You’ll be just fine and safe at these spots. Just use common sense like you would anywhere! I’d look into any of the hotels downtown so you can be walking distance to South Main and Beale Street, etc.
The Cove is dog friendly both inside and on the porch! 🙂
The Mellow Mushroom on Park and in Germantown both have great patios. I believe they are both dog friendly. Thanks!
The Kitchen at Shelby Farms has delicious food, and an AMAZING view. Especially at sunset. With easy access to the lake right in front of you.
Newby’s has outdoor seating on Highland and is building a patio out back, which should be finished soon.
Great article. I just moved to Memphis in January, and with summer coming up, I plan on trying out these fantastic places! I did notice that The Kitchen Bistro @ Shelby Farms isn’t listed. It should be as it has quickly became a favorite on mine and many others!
