"The “patio” at Yard Bar is more like an enormous, fenced-in dog playground that just happens to have a bunch of picnic tables. There’s beer, wine, cocktails, and mocktails, plus a pretty big selection of small bites and entrees—including a few dog-friendly foods, like a waffle cone filled with peanut butter yogurt ice cream. There’s a lot of space, so you never really have to worry too much about it getting crowded, even when half the dogs in Austin are here to hang out." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
