Ray’s in Yaletown: A Dog-Friendly Patio
Located at 1131 Mainland Street in the heart of Yaletown, Ray’s is surrounded by one of Vancouver’s most walkable neighbourhoods. With the seawall, David Lam Park and plenty of neighbourhood streets to explore nearby, the dog-friendly patio makes for an easy stop before or after taking your pup for a walk.

For humans, Ray’s is known for the same formula that has made Warehouse restaurants popular across Canada: approachable food, affordable prices and a casual atmosphere that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The menu features everything from burgers and tacos to bowls, shareables and late-night eats, alongside cocktails, beer and other patio-friendly drinks.
The timing couldn’t be better either. Vancouver’s patio season is in full swing, and Yaletown remains one of the city’s go-to neighbourhoods for spending a sunny afternoon outside.

Not Just for Humans
Making Ray’s patio dog-friendly also feels like a natural fit for the neighbourhood. Anyone who spends time in Yaletown knows dogs are practically part of the local population, whether they’re walking along the seawall, hanging out at nearby parks or joining their owners for a weekend coffee.
It also makes those spontaneous summer afternoons a little easier. Instead of heading home after a walk or figuring out who has to stay behind with the dog, owners can bring their pup along and settle onto the patio for food and drinks.

For Ray’s, it’s another way of leaning into the neighbourhood surrounding the restaurant and creating a space that feels accessible to the people who actually live, work and spend time in Yaletown.
Vancouver’s best summer days often aren’t particularly complicated. A walk along the seawall, some sunshine, a patio, something cold to drink and nowhere you urgently need to be can be more than enough.
And now your dog doesn’t have to miss out.
