I can't think of a place that will refuse your pets if you sit outside at the terrace though ... I don't think Moran's would accept a dog in the restaurant part though.

In fairness, you are just saying you can sit outside a place wth your dogJustAThought wrote: »Ok. Sorry; I'm being a bit negative and this thread is supposed to be helpful!

In my experience Here are some great locations for well behaved dogs on leads.
Terrace of It's A Bagel; Malahide. Gorgeous location, great bagels, dog welcoming, biggreen couches, covered for if it rains. Not really waitress service but very helpful.
Cafe Provence; Malahide; outside. LOVE dogs, will bring waterto your pooch and a little petchat! Real meals not just samb Os! Outside, no shelter if it rains!
Clontarf; 1014. Outside. No shelter for rain but a suntrap. Proper restaurant; fabulous food, great coffee and delicious deserts (e6). Welcome dogs and you! All profits from this restaurant go to charity so it's a little gem! On the seafront beside the turn for the bull island.
Howth. Beshoffs cafe on the pier; great coffees and all of the hill if Howth to run about on.
Sweetshop/ Sells take away fab Coffee at the end of the "prom" pier in howth; also has running fresh water for dogs and deckchairs outside to sit down when you re knackered post walk and enjoy the view/ ice-cream/ tea. very did chatty owner and delicious cappuccinos!!!
: )
Te only place I haven't been on your list is itasabagel, the rest ar just car parks or paths that have a chair or two. They arent suitable for letting a dog off a lead to play.
I don't mean to whinge, but if someone brings their dog to one of these places expecting a safe environment for their dog they might be let down.0 -

Just wanted to say thanks for the above tip. We went up there earlier with our two Golden Retrievers and had some lunch in the conservatory with treats and water bowls supplied for the dogs.
Was really enjoyable despite the weather! 0 -

I find the difference is that the dogs are made feel so welcome, not just tolerated!0 -

Yup this is true, we got seated then handed our menus and while we were deciding what to have the dogs got brought the water and treats without our saying a word
It was a really nice change and we'll be back regularly as it's a great spot after walking them on the beach!0 -

! In none if these places can you let your dogs off the leash to play yes: that's right! They are restaurants!!!
But these places are not car parks! How did you ever think that!?
They are all proper cafe s or restaurants with enclosed tables in cafe/ restaurant areas!
I really didn't expect people to be looking for restaurants where you can your dog run free!? And to be honest; I wouldn't eat in a restaurant where people would bring their let's and let them roam amongst tables free. Maybe it's with that fear that's why so many places dint allow them. You re lucky with H& S to get a well behaved dog in on a leash.

There are 2 seats outside mauds on the path and beshoffs is the same.
1014 has a couple of seats in the car park out the front. None are enclosed that I know of or maybe I am thinking of somewhere else? Maids has a fence on 2 sides is the closest but it's pretty small and I would usually just sit on the wall across the road with the grass and sun
Im reallynot having a go, I just thought you were overselling them a bit 0 -

Ok; I understand your point; but we are talking about places that will accept your dog; that is what I am providing. I'm not taking it as thou you re having a go at me !. All of the places I mentioned have enclosed ; ie private fully surrounded areas. They are not car parks, and are privately owned. You mentioned Mauds; an icrecream parlour for children I did not post this place as being dog friendly nor would I recommend it to sit at ( thou their icecreams are DELICIOUS ) : it is full of icrcream covered children and is beside a pedestrian crossing on a main road. Beshoffs ; there are two in Howth; maybe you are thinking of te one on the main drag?! The one with the cafe and restaurant provides blankets for you to sit outside with, bowls for your dog and if yourdogg is on a leash and well behaved they will let you sit inside at the bar.
None of the places I recommend let dogs run free; you d probably need to be somewhere super tolerant and far far away from Dublin to have that!!!( or at your Granny's!!) best of luck. : )
I'm not getting into mud slinging on this site; I am sharing some of the lovely places I have experienced for others to also enjoy.0 -

The Beach House at the harbour in Greystones is now dog friendly. I noticed they have some picnic tables outside in their lovely beer garden with paws on them! They provide dog bowls for water and on the tables they have special clips to attach your dog lead to. I saw someone's dog looking very happy there, and so did the owner eating lobster and having a pint!
They are def not dog friendly.... they used to be 2 years ago... but then it became a creche for kids and dogs all day saturday and sunday, a nightmare if im honest.. so now they dont allow dogs

They wouldn't allow us in with the dogs last summer but maybe they've changed their policy?0 -
