Like the diverse flavors found throughout the destination, pooch-friendly dining patios are plentiful, making it easy for you, family and friends to experience everything from casual eateries to fine dining with your dog enthusiastically in tow. Here are a few of our favorite new picks.
 
Desert Beer Company, Las Palmas Brewery, La Quinta Brewery, and Coachella Valley Brewing Company
 
Quaff a cold one and discover Greater Palm Springs’ growing craft beer scene at four local breweries churning out inventive, tasty lagers, IPAs, porters, stouts and more. Tails will be wagging in delight—Desert Beer Company is dog-friendly indoors while Las Palmas and La Quinta taprooms “hoppily” welcome pups in their outdoor beer gardens. 
 
Tac/Quila
 
No reservations are taken at this wildly popular and artsy downtown Palm Springs hot spot serving up delicious Jalisco-inspired fare, but a table at Tac/Quila is well worth the wait. The dog-friendly patio offers a prime vantage point for both people and pet watching.
 
Roly China Fusion
