Deeley’s Favorite Stop on the Trail — Katy Trail Ice House

If you’re looking for a true Dallas gem where both you and your dog will feel right at home, look no further than Katy Trail Ice House at 3127 Routh Street, Dallas, TX 75201.

Nestled right off the scenic Katy Trail, this laid-back beer garden and restaurant has earned its reputation as a Dallas staple for good reason.

The atmosphere is unbeatable: shady oak trees, picnic tables, and plenty of space for dogs to stretch out and enjoy the buzz of downtown. Whether you’re cooling off after a walk on the trail or meeting up with friends, the Katy Trail Ice House serves up great food, cold drinks, and welcoming smiles.

The best part? Dogs are not just allowed — they’re encouraged. You’ll see happy pups lounging under tables, wagging tails greeting each other, and water bowls at the ready. It’s the kind of place where dog lovers naturally gather.

For Deeley, this is the ultimate hangout. After exploring the trail, she loves sprawling under a shady spot while watching the steady stream of joggers and dogs passing by. And when a friendly waiter comes by with a smile and fresh water, you know your pup is treated like part of the family.

So next time you’re near Uptown, grab your leash, your dog, and maybe a cold drink — and enjoy one of Dallas’s most beloved dog-friendly spots.
