At Gordon Lofts, being pet-friendly isn't a checkbox. It's part of everyday life.

You'll see it in the way our team keeps treats ready for four-legged visitors, in the tail wags that greet residents in the lobby and in the initial meetings that begin with, "What's your dog's name?" before anything else. You'll find it at the Bark Park. Just beyond your front door, the trails and open spaces of Alton Baker Park and its expansive off-leash dog park provide plenty of room for zoomies, fetch sessions and leisurely strolls. From riverfront walks to neighborhood adventures, life at Gordon Lofts is designed to be enjoyed together.

One of the best parts of pet parent life at the Gordon Lofts? When it's time for a meal, happy hour or coffee break, your dog doesn't have to stay home. Here are some favorite dog-friendly patios and outdoor gathering spaces within walking distance or a short stroll from Gordon Lofts.

Great Flavors and Patio Vibes

Cornucopia Restaurant

A Eugene favorite for burgers, craft beer and relaxed patio dining, Cornucopia is the kind of place where dogs fit right into the atmosphere. Plus, they have a curated and eclectic menu for any vegan or vegetarian friends you might be meeting up with. The outdoor seating area makes it easy to enjoy a casual lunch or dinner with all your favorite companions. 

Silver Falls Brewery 

A very short stroll from Gordon Lofts, Silver Falls Brewery offers a welcoming sidewalk patio where dogs are welcome to join you while you enjoy a locally crafted beer and a bite to eat. Outdoor seating and a laid-back atmosphere make it a natural stop after a walk along the river.

Poppi's Greek Taverna

Stay Even Closer to Home

Gordon Tavern

Located at The Gordon Hotel, Gordon Tavern's outdoor seating creates an easy option for brunch, lunch, dinner or cocktails without venturing far from your front door. It's perfect for those evenings when you'd rather spend more time enjoying your dog's company and less time deciding where to go.

5th Street Eateries & Bar

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating areas, making it easy to enjoy everything from burgers to global flavors while soaking up the energy of the 5th Street Public Market.

Cafe Yumm! 

For a quick lunch, healthy bowl or casual outdoor meal, Café Yumm! offers a convenient stop right in the 5th Street Market Alley. Grab your favorite order, find a nearby outdoor table and enjoy a relaxing break with your dog by your side.

Coffee Runs Are Better Together

Magpie Coffeeshop

Just steps away in the Alley, Magpie is ideal for slow mornings, afternoon pick-me-ups and those days when all you need is a good cup of coffee and a little sunshine. Outdoor seating nearby makes it easy to include your pup in the ritual.

Provisions Market Hall

With seasonal coffee drinks sure to catch your attention to pizza-by-the-slice and quiche du jour that make every visit buzzworthy, there’s something special about enjoying a quiet moment sitting by the fountain in the Market Core. 

Save Room for Dessert

J. Scott Cellars

End the evening with a glass of wine, a sweet treat and a little extra time together. Located half a block away, J. Scott Cellars serves not only cheese and charcuterie, but also handcrafted desserts by La Dolce Vita Bakery that pair beautifully with a relaxed evening on the patio.

Life Is Better When Everyone Gets to Come Along

One of the joys of living at Gordon Lofts is that your dog doesn't have to be left behind while life happens. Morning coffee runs. Afternoon walks through nearby parks. Patio dinners with friends. Sunset strolls through the 5th Street Public Market and beyond.

Here, home extends beyond your apartment walls. It stretches into the neighborhood, the green spaces, the trails and the welcoming patios where both you and your pup are greeted with a smile.
