Dog-Friendly Cafes and Restaurants in Bremen
12 listed cafes, restaurants, and venues in Bremen where your dog is welcome. Below you will find a few examples per type; the full list with map is in the Souldog app.
Listed places are within 15 km of the centre of Bremen, including the surrounding area. This radius does not follow municipal boundaries.
Can I bring my dog into a restaurant?
There is no law in Germany that bans dogs from restaurants and cafes. EU Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs only requires that animals not contaminate areas where food is prepared and stored, in other words the kitchen. That rule does not apply to the dining room.
Whether your dog is allowed inside is therefore entirely up to the venue's house rules. That is exactly why a list like this one is useful: it gathers venues in Bremen where dogs are welcome, instead of pointing to a rule that does not actually exist.
Guide dogs and other assistance dogs are a separate case: under Section 12e of the German Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz, BGG), they generally cannot be denied entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many dog-friendly cafes and restaurants are there in Bremen?
In Bremen and the surrounding area, 12 dog-friendly venues are listed: cafes, restaurants, beer gardens, ice cream parlors, and bars. This page shows a few examples per type, including Brill No.6, CREAMLOVERS, Blauer Fasan Bar Bremen. The full list with map is available in the Souldog app, free of charge.
Can a restaurant ban dogs?
Yes. A restaurant or cafe sets its own house rules and can exclude dogs without giving a reason. Conversely, no law bans dogs from the dining room; the food hygiene regulation only covers kitchens and storage areas. Assistance dogs are an exception under Section 12e of the German Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act (BGG).
Where does the information on this page come from?
It is based on curated OpenStreetMap geodata, supplemented by Souldog as well as place suggestions from the community. Because house rules can change without being recorded anywhere, it is worth calling ahead before your visit.
What should I keep in mind when dining out with my dog?
A spot away from walkways makes things more relaxed for everyone, and a familiar blanket from home helps your dog settle down. Bringing your own water bowl never hurts. During busy hours, many dogs are more comfortable in the outdoor seating area.
