It’s a classic conundrum: You want to go out, but your French bulldog puppy keeps giving you those eyes and you can’t leave him and what if he pees on the floor when you’re gone? We get it. Thanks to the patios at these 15 bars, there’s no reason to leave the life of the party at home.

Though it has yet to be proven by science, were pretty sure Jumbos invented fun. The Cass Corridor dive bar has likely been around longer than you have, but it has yet to lose its sense of whimsy (the cheap drinks certainly contribute). After you buy your $2.50 Strohs, youre sure to find fellow dog-lovers at the patio.
