If I’m going somewhere, my first question is always: Can I bring my dog?
Hi, I’m Emma. I’ve lived in Park Slope for almost 10 years, and I adopted my dog, Ruby, in July 2020 (you can follow along at @rubyinbrooklyn). Since then, I’ve been on the search to find places in the neighborhood that love dogs as much as I do.
Over time, I’ve built up a list of local spots that either allow dogs inside, have a takeout window, and/or offer genuinely great outdoor seating. These are the places that make it easy and enjoyable to bring your dog along for everyday life in Park Slope.
It goes without saying (but is worth mentioning): being a dog-friendly neighborhood only works if we all do our part. Please be mindful of each business’s rules, and only bring your dog if they’re comfortable in busy environments, can stay calmly by your side, and are on leash at all times.
“When walking your dog in a busy neighborhood like Park Slope, always use a sturdy, non-retractable leash for consistent boundaries and better control.”
— Dr. Dei, Lead Veterinarian at Small Door Park Slope
Without further ado, here’s an ever-growing list of some of my favorite dog-friendly places in Park Slope:
1. Annie’s Blue Ribbon General Store
232 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY
11215
Friday-Tuesday: 10AM-6PM, Wednesday-Thursday: 10AM-7PM
Phone number: (718)-522-9848
Annie’s is one of those stores where you walk in and immediately feel taken care of. The team is so friendly, and the inventory is incredible. You’ll find everything from home goods to gifts to a whole section dedicated to dogs (toys, treats, leashes, collars).
Of course, they always have treats behind the counter, too.
They also host a weekly Thursday happy hour and regular events (including Mah Jongg classes), and they’re genuinely committed to building community in Park Slope. Plus, they’re home to two Mini Art Vending Machines by Park Slope’s very own Anastasia Inciardi!
2. Bagel World Park Slope
339 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Sunday: 6AM-6PM
Phone number: (718)-499-1143
Bagel World is a family-owned bagel shop and deli that’s been part of the neighborhood for over 20 years.
They’re making fresh bagels all day long, and the takeout window makes it an easy stop with your dog.
There are a few outdoor tables, but I highly recommend grabbing your bagel and heading across the street to the picnic tables by JJ Byrne Park. And if your dog is a fan of a dog park, the newly renovated Washington Park Dog Run is right around the corner.
“If headed to the dog park make sure your dog is current on all core vaccinations, including the Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine, as contagious illnesses can spread quickly in these social environments.”
— Dr. Dei, Lead Veterinarian at Small Door Park Slope
3. Community Bookstore
143 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Saturday: 10AM-6PM, Sunday: 10AM-6PM
Phone number: (718)-783-3075
Community Bookstore is Brooklyn’s oldest operating bookstore!
They have an incredible selection of books, dog treats behind the counter, and a hidden-gem backyard garden that’s fully dog-friendly.
It’s one of my favorite little rituals: pick up a new book, then head to the garden and sit for a while with my dog. It feels like a secret, but one I’m very happy to let you in on.

4. Gone to the Dogs
103 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Sunday: 11AM-6:30 PM
Phone number: (201)-375-3471
If you love to spoil your dog (and have them spoiled), this is the place!
Gone to the Dogs is a woman-owned business with a mission you can actually feel when you walk in: “Dog Goods that Do Good”. They collaborate with women makers from low-income, marginalized, and immigrant communities in NYC and the Global South, ensuring fair and livable wages.
Everything in the store is handmade and thoughtfully sourced from recycled, reclaimed, or renewable materials - and it shows. The pieces are colorful, detailed, and unlike anything you’d find at a typical pet store.
No visit is complete without your dog trying on a handmade baby alpaca sweater or a hand-loomed bow tie, and having their photo added to the polaroid wall of fame.
5. Impasto Pizzeria
200 Garfield Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Sunday 12:00-9:00PM
Phone number: (718)-247-2473
The Park Slope location of Impasto Pizzeria opened just over a year ago and brought with it some of the best Roman-style pizza in the neighborhood. The crust is thick, airy, and somehow still light. They also serve gelato in the warmer months!
Their outdoor dining area is small but charming, and if you catch it at the right moment, you can almost convince yourself you’re not in Brooklyn anymore… or at least pretend you’re eating in Rome for a little while.
5. Lincoln Station Park Slope
170 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Friday: 7AM-8PM, Saturday-Sunday: 8AM-8PM
Phone number: (718)-673-5005
A newer (and very welcome) addition to the neighborhood, Lincoln Station has quickly become one of my go-to spots. There’s a to-go window right on 1st Street, plus first-come, first-served outdoor seating that’s perfect when you’ve got your dog with you.
Everything is made in-house, from baked goods to sandwiches (I highly recommend the broccoli and ricotta sandwich), salads, soups, and even rotisserie chicken. They also have coffee, beer, wine, and kombucha on tap.
7. Mr. Boddington’s Studio
153 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Tuesday-Saturday: 10AM-6PM, Sunday: 10AM-5PM, Monday: Closed
Opened in 2025, Mr. Boddington’s might just be home to the most beautiful stationery in the neighborhood - cards, notebooks, pens, everything!
If you love writing (or just love a really good notebook and pen moment), this place is hard to leave empty-handed.
And yes, they love dogs, too.
8. Muan House Thai Restaurant and Bar
339A 2nd St, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Sunday-Thursday: 11:30AM-10:30 PM, Friday-Saturday: 11:30AM-11PM
11:30 AM–10:30 PM
Phone number: (929)-397-0003
Muan House has one of the most colorful, inviting patios in the neighborhood, and it’s absolutely perfect for a date night with your dog.
The food is authentic, Bangkok-inspired Thai that genuinely made me want to order everything on the menu.
They opened in February 2026 and have already become my go-to recommendation whenever anyone asks where to eat in Park Slope.
9. Something Else on Fifth
206 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Monday-Friday: 12-7PM, Saturday-Sunday: 11AM-7PM
Phone number: (718)-622-1262
Something Else Brooklyn is exactly what it sounds like - in the best way! A little bit of everything: clothing, accessories, toys, candles, books, snacks, and more.
It’s one of those places you pop into quickly and then somehow spend way longer than you planned.
They love having dogs stop by, which makes it an easy “why not” detour on a walk.
10. The Ripped Bodice
218 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Friday: 10:30AM-6:30PM, Saturday-Sunday: 10AM-7PM
Phone number: (347)-227-8899
If you haven’t been to The Ripped Bodice yet, consider this your sign.
My dog actually pulls me there regularly - partly because the space used to be a pet store, but also because they truly love having dogs inside.
The team is incredibly knowledgeable and always has great recommendations, and the store itself is woman, queer, and sister-owned. It’s brought so much energy (and so many people) to Park Slope. I’ll never forget the line wrapped around the block on opening day.
11. Threes Brewing
333 Douglass St, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Monday-Saturday: 12PM-12AM, Sunday: 12-11PM
Phone number: (718)-568-9673
Threes Brewing has one of the dreamiest backyards in Park Slope. Think greenery, fairy lights, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours once the weather warms up.
They opened in 2014 and have been a neighborhood favorite ever since (and yes, they’re award-winning, too). Between trivia nights, live music, a great beer list, a full bar, and genuinely excellent food, it’s one of those places that always feels like a good idea.
12. Wild East Brewing Co.
623 Sackett St, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Monday-Friday: 2-10PM, Saturday: 12-11PM, Sunday: 12-9PM,
Phone number: (718)-797-5135
Wild East Brewing Co. is an award-winning craft brewery that opened in February 2020, and it’s completely dog-friendly inside, which already makes it a standout. The space is big, open, and perfect for settling in for a while.
They’ve hosted everything from rescue events to vet gatherings to baby showers, and even my dog’s birthday party, which tells you everything you need to know.
The beer list is extensive, they regularly host weekend food pop-ups, and you can also bring or order your own food. Plus, they’ve got non-beer and non-alcoholic options, which I always appreciate. **This is also my official petition for them to bring back the Turnstyle Pickle.**
They do have two resident cats, so just something to keep in mind if your dog has a high prey drive.
13. Winner
367 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Wednesday: 7AM-7PM, Thursday-Sunday: 7AM-8PM
Winner opened in March 2020 and immediately became a Park Slope staple.
It does get busy (especially on weekends), so just be prepared to wait in line both to order and for a seat, but it’s SO worth it.
It’s takeout-only, with first-come, first-served outdoor seating, and an ever-changing menu for pastries, breads, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their pull-apart monkey bread might be my favorite baked good in all of Park Slope.
14. Small Door Veterinary
435 9th St, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Monday-Tuesday: 8AM-6PM, Thursday-Saturday: 8AM-6PM. Closed Wednesday and Sunday.
212-933-9044
Small Door Veterinary opened in Park Slope last summer, and it’s the kind of vet experience you’ll actually want to go to.
Think same or next-day appointments, 24/7 telehealth, and calm, fear-free spaces that make visits easier on both you and your dog. Plus, they’re American Animal Hospital Association-accredited and a Certified B Corporation, so you know the care (and values) are the real deal.
