Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for “Let’s go out for a beer and bring the dog”, right?

Because now is the perfect time to party with your dog on a patio. The Phoenix weather at night is relatively cool and there are a sombrero full of places in metro Phoenix that offer dog-friendly patios.

Some of our favorites include:

• Aunt Chiladas: 7330 N. Dreamy Draw Drive, Phoenix
• Milagro Grill: 4280 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix
• Salty Senorita: Locations in Scottsdale and Peoria
