Haven't you ever just wanted to take your dog to the bar? We want to all the time! After all, it's the best and easiest way to make new friends!
(We know this from experience, btw).
And in our quest to harmonize the social lives of dogs and humans alike, we've managed to find a handful of pretty happening spots that don't discriminate, whether you have two legs or four.
You can thank us later.
This outdoor downtown LA brewery is a great way to spend an afternoon with your pup, while enjoying great beers and the company of other pooch-having beer hounds.
216 Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
If you have a dog and live in the Dallas area and you haven't been to Mutt's, you're kind of missing out. We give this human-dog cantina two paws up.
2889 CityPlace West Blvd, Dallas, TX 75205
The Standard Biergarten, New York City, NY
This cool spot nestled in the lower east side is one of the hipper places humans can go. Ping pong tables in a rustic, open air beer garden is an NYC must when the weather turns; and the fact that you can bring your pup here too makes the allure, well, just downright unfair.
848 Washington at 13th Street, New York, NY 10014
You don't have to be a hipster to like thick rimmed glasses, sneakers that look like slippers, cold brew and green juice. Actually, I'm not going to go on record with that but I will say, working remotely or chillin' at this Abbot Kinney hangout with your pup is a great way to make new friends.
1344 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291
Since 1978, this neighborhood bar has treated everyone well and equal, dogs included. And as long as you have proper ID, you can drink $1 Tecates on Monday from 1pm to close. Although, your dog might have to drive home.
3158 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
Play cornhole, drink amazing beer, have a picnic on the water, or just hang out at Fremont Brewing Company, the aesthetically pleasing brewery that sits right on Lake Union in Seattle's cool Fremont district. And since they love dogs too, you never have to worry about drinking alone.
1050 N 34th St, Seattle, WA 98103
While you're enjoying your delicious libation on a beautiful sunny day in Boston, your four legged bestie can be right their by your side, enjoying a "Muttini" or a "Puptail" of their own. Yes, this is reality, people, and that posh, dog owner life has never felt - or tasted - so good.
215 Charles Street, Boston, MA 02114
This place has it's own menu for dogs featuring items like $3 chicken breast and $1 carrots - (for canines only though, so stop drooling. Humans have their own menu.) And if you snap a pic hanging with your pup and upload it to Instagram using the hashtag #4Cpatiopuppies, you could win a $100 gift card for you and your pooch's next yappy hour. Chicago dog owners, you're welcome.
1510 N Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60610
