MUTTS Canine Cantina reviews

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

Reviewers love the combo of full bar, generous burger-and-tenders menu, and a fenced yard with serious security precautions; owners call the MUTTS yard nearly impossible for a dog to slip out of. The big outdoor screen, late 11pm close, and in-yard amenities like seating, rocks, and water bowls earn consistent praise.

The community

A social, adults-hanging-out vibe where members and day-pass regulars mix. People are friendly, the staff and owners know the regulars, and shy or small dogs often gain confidence through repeat visits. Weekend crowds can swell, so parking tightens up during peak times.

Before you go

Day passes are available at the door, with memberships for regulars. Do not bring food into the dog yard; it causes problems with dogs. Open until 11pm if you want a cooler evening visit.

Frequently asked

Is there a fee to get in?
Yes. A day pass ran $14 for one reviewer, with weekly, monthly, and membership options for people who come back often.
Is the yard fenced and secure?
Heavily. Reviewers describe layered entry precautions that make it very difficult for a dog to get out, which is what keeps owners of escape artists comfortable.
Can food go into the dog yard?
It should stay on the patio. The rule is not posted clearly, and one reviewer learned the hard way that food inside the yard causes trouble with the dogs.
What are the food and drink options?
Burgers, chicken tenders, and fries, plus a full bar with a solid beer list and frozen cocktails. The dog menu is thin at two items, both built on peanut butter.
How late is MUTTS open?
Until 11pm, which makes it one of the few options for a cooler evening visit in an Austin summer. Weekend peaks tighten the parking lot considerably.
