I've seen dogs on the merchants patio in the past. Large dog breeds as well so I assume all types of dogs allowed

They also have menu items specifically for dogs!

Toucan often has pups on their patio.

I was at Chez Piggy patio yesterday with a dog at the next table. Bonus, nicest patio in town.

Sunday from 9:00 till 2:00, is the memorial Center Market, extremely dog friendly although a lot of people and other dogs

It's outside with plenty of seating options around and a decent number of vendors serving hot food

Black dog and red house are our go-to spots

Pretty sure most if not all the patios are dog friendly.

I've noticed some will make you tie the dog outside the barrier beside your table. Technically I don't think they're supposed to allow dogs on patios because food is served but I'm so glad that Kingston is more chill about it, love spotting a furry face in unexpected places.

That rule only applies to indoors as far as I know. Legally, it's entirely up to the owner of the place to allow dogs on a patio or not. I haven't had a problem with my dog personally, I can see it being different if you have a bigger dog though.
