Fans of the Tampa Bay Rays will know all about Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill in St. Petersburg, FL. Located across the street from the MLB team’s Tropicana Field, this bustling bar is as close to the diamond as your pooch is going to get. He may have to miss out on catching a fly ball from the stadium, but at least he can catch tennis balls in the bar’s baseball-inspired dog park, divided into sections for peewee pups and heavyweights. When your MVP (Most Valuable Pooch) is finished slugging it out in the fenced space, he can grab a bite from Ferg’s Dog Chow menu, which includes delicious eats like Beer Grain Cookies and CBD Chicken Bites.

Go down the rabbit hole at this colorful rental with an at-home gym and a fenced backyard, so you and your pooch can warm up before heading back to the bar.
