Downtown Burbank isn’t just a destination for shopping and dining. It’s also a great place to spend the day with your dog. Whether you’re looking for a bite to eat on a sunny patio, shops that welcome pets, or just a nice place to walk, Downtown has plenty of options.
Patios Perfect for Pups
Several restaurants in Downtown Burbank make it easy to bring your dog along for lunch or dinner. BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, Granville, and Yard House all have spacious patios where you can settle in with your meal while your pup relaxes at your side.
The Drooling Room at Story Tavern
Story Tavern offers a dedicated space known as the “Drooling Room” where dogs are welcome inside with their owners. Unlike many restaurants that only allow dogs on patios, this special area makes it easier to dine with your pup by your side
Strolling Through Downtown
One of the best parts of Downtown Burbank is how walkable it is. Wide sidewalks and tree-lined streets make it easy to take your dog on a leisurely stroll. Around spots like the Palm Ave. and Third St, The Palm Avenue Paseo, and coming soon to First Street Village, there’s plenty of room to pause and take in the atmosphere.
Mural Walk With Your Pup
Downtown Burbank is home to a self-guided mural walk, where colorful artwork brightens the streets. Taking your dog along this route is a great way to combine exercise and discovery. It turns an everyday walk into a chance to enjoy public art while giving your dog some fresh air.
Pet Services Nearby
If your dog needs a little pampering, grooming, or even daycare while you’re in the area, there are several nearby options. Go Hollywood Grooming offers full-service grooming with posted rates online, while nearby Doggie Avenue provides both pet supplies and care services. These local businesses make it simple to keep your dog looking and feeling their best.
Coming Soon: Dick Clark Dog Park
While not located directly in Downtown Burbank, the Dick Clark Dog Park is set to become a nearby favorite. Planned features include separate play areas for large and small dogs, agility equipment, shaded seating, and water stations. Once complete, it will offer a dedicated off-leash space just minutes from downtown, giving local dog owners another reason to love the area.
Pet-Friendly Hotels
Planning to stay a little longer? Downtown Burbank offers dog-friendly hotels that make it easy to travel with your furry friend. Hilton Garden Inn Burbank Los Angeles and Residence Inn by Marriott Los Angeles Burbank/Downtown both welcome pets for an additional fee. With their central locations, these hotels put you just steps away from restaurants, shops, and scenic strolls—perfect for exploring the neighborhood together.
A Day for You and Your Dog
With its patios, pet-friendly shops, and walkable streets, Downtown Burbank is an easy choice when you want to bring your dog along for the day—or the weekend. Grab a coffee, enjoy a meal, or just wander together and see what you discover.
You can also bring your furry friend to our signature annual events, including the Winter Arts Festival, Summer Arts Festival, and Winter Wine Walk, plus the weekly Downtown Burbank Cultural Market. There’s always something happening—and plenty of tail-wagging fun to be had.
