Dizz's As Is is housed in a charming wood-shingled building from the 1920s right in the heart of Laguna Beach, with a garden that’s filled with blooming flowers and plenty of space to spread out. You can order handcrafted cocktails, wines, and appetizers at the bar or grab a table outside where dogs are welcome to join you while you eat. The garden setting gives the place a relaxed, timeless feel that actually reflects what Laguna Beach is about—it’s not trying too hard, just good food and drinks in a nice space.

The staff here treats dogs like regular guests, not as an afterthought. There’s plenty of room in the garden for your dog to settle in while you’re eating, and the atmosphere is casual enough that nobody’s going to mind if your dog shifts around on the ground or takes a nap under the table. On warmer evenings, the garden actually cools down nicely, which makes it comfortable for dogs who might overheat in enclosed spaces. If your dog gets restless, the surrounding area of Laguna Beach is walkable, so you can take them for a quick stroll before or after your meal to burn off energy and explore the coastal scenery.

The cocktails and wine selection here are legitimately well-made, not the kind of place where you’re just paying for the view. The appetizers work well for sharing, so you can order a few things and pick at them while you’re hanging out. The whole vibe is low-key enough that you won’t feel rushed to finish up and leave. If you’re planning to bring your dog, it’s worth calling ahead just to confirm current seating and any specific details about where dogs can sit, since outdoor spaces can change seasonally or based on the weather.
