Dog Friendly Restaurants on the SF Peninsula

These are restaurants where your dog is welcome, usually on an outdoor patio, at a beer garden, or at a sidewalk table. Half Moon Bay and Pacifica have several, which makes sense after a walk on the coast. Dogs are generally not allowed indoors, and policies can change with weather or staffing, so check with the restaurant before you bring your pup along.
