Soak Up Patio Season: Bozeman's Best Pet-Friendly Patios
There's a certain sweetness to late summer in Bozeman. The mornings feel cooler, the light hands a little lower in the sky, and evenings slip away faster than they did in July. It's that in-between season where iced coffees still make sense, but you're starting to keep a sweater handy. Patio season won't last much longer, which makes these sunny afternoons even more worth savoring. Especially when you can bring your most trusted four-legged confidant along for the ride.
Bozeman has no shortage of dog-friendly spots to grab a drink, linger over lunch, or soak in a golden-hour view. Here are some of the best patios in town, organized by vibe so you can make the most of these last warm days.
