Things to Do with Your Dog in Austin

Pet-Friendly in Austin: The Best of the Best

Austin is one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country, and perhaps the world.  Offering a wide array of restaurants, activities, and stores that allow four-legged guests, Austin provides a warm and welcoming reception for dogs and their owners.

Austin dogs can enjoy the luxury of a bakery all their own at Groovy Dog Bakery on South Lamar Boulevard.  This specialty bakery offers a wide array of dog treats including fresh baked cookies, cakes, and veggie bones; toys and dog bowls are also available at this dog-centric boutique.  

Cedar Park puppies will love the Doggie Deli and Spa on Cypress Creek Road.  Its wide range of all natural and organic pet foods and treats will please even the most discerning canine appetite, while available spa treatments include traditional shampoos and grooming, massages, and even aromatherapy treatments.  

For excellent barbecue in dog-friendly surroundings, try Artz Rib House on South Lamar.  They serve up some of Austin’s best ribs in casual surroundings; dogs on leashes are welcome at this neighborhood institution.

Located near the University of Texas campus, Spider House Café allows pets in its outdoor patio seating area, and serves up an eclectic Southwestern menu along with beer, mixed drinks, and live music and performance art events.  Primarily serving a college-aged clientele, older guests will enjoy the casual atmosphere and variety of cultural offerings.

For sandwiches, salads, fajitas, and more, BB Rover’s Café and Pub offers a wide selection of light options, including beer.  Dogs are welcome to dine in the extensive outdoor patio area; their owners are welcome there, too.

P. Terry’s burger stand is especially popular with dog lovers; their home-cooked burgers and fries are perfectly complemented by their attention to customer service.  P. Terry’s staff often offer dog treats to their four-legged patrons, ensuring that every member of the family leaves happy.

For the British pub experience, complete with dubious food selections like Scotch eggs, check out the Dog & Duck Pub in downtown Austin.  One of the most dog-friendly venues in all of Austin, the Dog & Duck provides water dishes and welcomes dogs of all sizes to accompany their owners for a pint or two of cold brew and a relaxing evening out.

Thirsty pets and their owners will enjoy the complementary bowls of ice water and cold brews available at Opal Divine’s Penn Field.  With an extensive single-malt menu for whiskey drinkers and plenty of fans and misters to keep things cool, Opal’s offers the perfect spot for relaxing on hot Austin afternoons.

Freddie’s offers a wide array of burgers and brews in an exceptionally dog-friendly environment.  An extensive menu of appetizers ensures you and your dog will eat well and leave happy.

Austin Parks and Recreation provides off-leash areas in most of its parks, including:
•    Auditorium Shores on Riverside Drive
•    Bull Creek on Lakewood Drive
•    Emma Long Metro Park on City Park Road
•    Far West Off-Leash Area on Great Northern Boulevard in western Austin
•    Northeast District Park on Crystalbrook Drive

Additionally, extensive off-leash play areas are available within Zilker Metropolitan Park, and dogs on leashes are welcome on the grounds of the Zilker Botanical Gardens as well.

Austin offers exceptional opportunities for dog owners to share an enjoyable day out and about with their pet.  The listings here are representative; many more establishments offer special accommodations and facilities for dogs and their owners.  This dog-friendly atmosphere is just one more attractive feature of Austin living, and another way Austin serves the needs and wishes of its residents.

Is this a Murano glass bowl/ashtray? Who is the artist and how can I go about finding out it's worth?

There are no labels or markings on the bottom.

Probably not. Murano art glass refers to the glass produced from the blowers on the island of Murano, off the coast of Italy. Every real murano glass pieces I have seen has been signed with either the blower or the studio it came from. Because of the high quality nature of glass from Murano, the name was adapted to sell all sorts of glass, regardless of its origin or quality. Much like "Tiffany" glass and/or lamps was used to describe ornate glass shades and lighting that had nothing to do with Tiffany studio's.

I have one exactly the same style, but mine has multiple gold and color flecks on the inside instead of the spiral, but is black on the outside and shaped just the same. Mine is from China. Value is relative, but I can pretty much assure you that you do not have a hidden treasure and you have no way to prove its' origin. Check out EBAY and/or type in blown glass ashtray in Google.
