Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar, American restaurant in Southlands Mall, Aurora, US.
Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar is an American restaurant inside Southlands Mall in Aurora, Colorado, with both an indoor dining room and an outdoor patio. The interior uses wood paneling, warm tones, and open table arrangements that give it the feel of a mountain lodge.
Lazy Dog Restaurants started as a chain in Southern California, built around casual American food and a relaxed setting inspired by the mountains. The Aurora location opened as part of a wider rollout that brought the brand to Colorado and other states.
The name of the place reflects a laid-back spirit that runs through the whole dining experience, from the wooden details inside to the relaxed pace of service. Regulars tend to linger over meals, treating the space as a neighborhood spot rather than just a stop at the mall.
The restaurant sits inside Southlands Mall and is easiest to reach by car, with parking available directly outside. Reservations are a good idea for larger groups, especially on weekends when the dining room fills up.
The patio here is officially dog-friendly, and the kitchen prepares a separate menu just for dogs brought by their owners. This makes the spot popular with pet owners from across the Denver area, not just from the neighborhood.
