A common complaint from visitors to New Braunfels is that it’s just not very dog-friendly. While there are many fun water adventures to be had with your four-legged friends, when it comes time to get some grub, you might be hard-pressed to find a New Braunfels eatery that will accommodate dogs.

The New Braunfels city council recently passed a new ordinance, making it a little more difficult for restaurant and bar owners to allow pets on their patios. Luckily, that’s not stopping many first-rate eateries from welcoming pets with open paws. Here are five fabulous New Braunfels restaurants that you and your dog will enjoy:

1. River Hofbrau
