After dinner, consider crashing at this one-bedroom apartment near Forsyth Park, which features a fenced yard and allows four-legged guests of any size.

Truck Yard Alliance is a divey beer garden featuring eclectic, nostalgic decor. Its large outdoor seating area, which is partially covered and heated during winter, invites its pup patrons to sample food from a rotation of local Fort Worth vendors.

Many of these events include “pawsome” prizes like gift baskets and custom doggie tags. Truck Yard Alliance also features an on-site dog park complete with faux grass and fire hydrants.

After a night out on the yard, rest your paws just down the street at the Hyatt Place Fort Worth-Alliance Town Center.
