    Nice heated patio

    Was thinking about Twisted Laurel or Packs Tavern. Their enclosed patio is great. No water brought for the dogs.

    Awesome place!

    We loved this place. It was super dog friendly. My husband checked in and we walked around the side of the building back to a lovely outdoor dining room. It’s completely covered so no issues if it’s raining. The waiter immediately brought over a bowl of water for our pup. Everyone was very friendly. Another staff member, who was possibly the manager, came over to make sure everything was good and greeted our pup. The food was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Great spot to eat with the pups!

    Delicious food and very dog friendly! They immediately brought over a water bowl with ice water. This is a little TMI, but just shows how pet friendly they were: I think one of our pups drank too much water and ended up throwing up his breakfast but they were very nice about it. We offered to help clean and did but our waitress was so nice and was cleaning it as well with zero complaints!

    Best Dog Friendly Restaurant we have visited

    Walked the Asheville Urban Trail early in the day and finished right at lunch. Stopped by Parks Tavern due to the great reviews, amazing food selection, and dog friendly. We have traveled a lot of places with our dog but this had to be the best dog friendly experience yet. We arrived not long after opening and was sat at the outside covered patio area promptly. My wife brought our dog around to the back door and our waiter was there to take our drink order and get a bowl of water for our dog. By the time we ordered more groups of people joined us with their dogs. Food came out promptly and was delicious! By the time we finished eating all tables on the patio was filled with people and their dogs. Maybe everyone had the same idea as we did but I have never seen this many dog families in a restaurant at the same time and all welcome. Would gladly visit again!

    Great location!

    Good beer selection, great food and very dog friendly. They gave us a bowl of cold water for our pup and she was very comfortable under the covered patio. I’d definitely recommend!

    Amazing and so dog friendly!

    The covered patio was very welcome on the rainy evening with our pup. The stroll around to the back patio was lovely and tree lined. Everyone welcomed our pup and family (including 2 kids). food was delicious and our pup felt relaxed and at home! Highly recommend!

    Not that friendly

    We waited 20 minutes for a patio seat (only place dogs are allowed). They made us walk around to the back to access the patio. When we were seated there was another table next to us with two dogs. One became very aggressive towards our dog and some loud barking was exchanged. The server came over and told us that we would have to leave if our dog barked again so we just saved them the hassle and left. Not happy about the way it was handled as the other table probably enjoyed their evening. Upon further reading it appears that we didn’t miss too much anyway.

    So great!

    Super friendly staff! Enclosed patio seating with heating for the colder days was super enjoyable! Didn’t ever feel like we were ostracized. Rachel, our waitress, was so kind and helpful! All the staff was lovely. The food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the blackberry BBQ brisket & Mac n Cheese!

    Great food and heated enclosed patio

    We chose Pack's based on Bring Fido reviews and weren't disappointed. It's about 40⁰ out and almost 70⁰ in the enclosed, heated patio. Great food and service.

    Excellent Place

    Food is fantastic, service is wonderful! very affordable
    we sat in the heated covered section with our fur baby. Our awesome waiter brought a bowl and a fresh glass of water for her and he set it up on a chair so she could reach it from her stroller ❤️
    will definitely return!

    Great Location

    Very spacious . Great atmosphere. Our food was excellent. We sat in the covered patio. Our fur babies were able to sit with us in a little warm spot away from the cold weather . They even had water bowls out for them. No complaints . I’d highly recommend if you’re in the area .

    Food Fun

    Excellent service and food. Very friendly. Outdoor seating is great. But even better is the heated enclosure outback for the colder months. Just pop your head in the front door and let them know you have a four legged companion and they will meet you around back to set you up in style.

    SUPER Dog Friendly!

    I’ve been here before without my dog and it was a ton of fun and good food. Came this trip with my dog and they were SUPER accommodating! They have a new heated covered patio that dogs are welcome. Staff is super friendly and will bring them water and play with them! Highly recommend.
