Great Mexican food and tasty margaritas! Covered dog-welcoming patio. Server was kind and attentive to us while also acknowledging our dogs. We bring our own water for the girls, so none is needed/expected when we visit places. Highly recommend if you’re in Lexington!

We visited on a holiday weekend. There was about a 30 min wait, but you can expect to wait at least that long for any restaurant in Blowing Rock. Plenty of other tables had their pups in attendance. Our server was very attentive. We enjoyed a couple of cocktails and burgers. You don't really think of getting a side of green beans with a burger, but they’re delicious! We’ll definitely be back again.

My husband and I stopped here on our journey home from Asheville after I spotted a sign advertising coffee and cocktails. The outdoor space is beyond gorgeous! Plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas, beautiful landscaping, and a peaceful, trickling fountain present the perfect atmosphere. The staff was extremely welcoming of our dogs and offered a bowl of water. My husband & I had the olive plate and a couple of cocktails. I had the best espresso martini of my life! We’ve been telling all of our friends about this spot and will definitely make it a usual stop when taking scenic route home.

We love visiting Brouwerij DuBois with our fur babies! Dogs are welcome both indoors and outdoors. The patio has lots of seating and a sizable grassy area for your pup to handle their business. A pet waste station is just a few steps from that. There is usually a food truck on site. The trucks rotate, so check Brouwerij DuBois’ website. While you’re there, check their schedule of events. They’re super supportive of other local businesses and charities. We can’t recommend Brouwerij DuBois highly enough!

Stopped in for a couple of drinks after finding them on Bring Fido. They have lots of outdoor seating, and the dog ramp welcome you to the patio. The manager was super sweet to our pups. She shared they will soon have a dog menu and other pup perks. We don’t visit Rutherfordton often, but we’ll definitely return to Copper Penny when we do.

The food is amazing, the cocktails are delicious, and there’s lots of pet-friendly patio space. If there is a wait, go next door to their outfitters. Super cool merchandise and a small bar with beers, ciders, and wine. This will definitely be a go-to spot when in Blowing Rock.

Somewhat limited outdoor seating (5 picnic tables), but we were able to snag a spot. The food was really great, and you should check out their brews! We’ll definitely be back!

We wanted to grab lunch during a busy Memorial Day weekend. It was past the typical lunch rush, but we were told there would be a 45 min wait for an outdoor, dog-friendly table. No problem! Downtown West Jefferson has some great shops to check out. So we left our name and number for them to call/text when our table was ready. We went back with about 10 mins to spare. After 50 mins had passed since we placed our names on the list, my husband went inside to check. To our surprise, there were several outdoor tables available. I guess they had forgotten about us..?.. The food and the service from our waitress was great! The first part of our experience, though was so annoying that we had to take away a bone. Worth a shot, but maybe don’t go during a busy time/holiday weekend.

St. Augustine Distillery was a great experience. You get to taste their various spirits along the tour route. At the end in the gift shop, they had 5 different treat flavors for the dogs, too! All free, and they genuinely seemed excited to see our girls. Definitely recommend!

Staff were super sweet, excitedly greeting our two pups. “Fountain of Pooch” watering stations were located around the park. We were able to have our girls drink some of the actual fountain’s “magical water” by pouring it into the travel container they usually drink out of. Oh, and the peacocks! They are everywhere! Very beautiful and not super intimidated, but they will get out of the way for you and your pups. Great way to spend a couple of hours in St. Augustine.

This super cute house is just a block from the beach right off of A1A Beach Blvd. There are lots of restaurants/ice cream shops within walking distance, too. The fenced in back yard was a relaxing space with a propane grill, fire pit, and nice furniture. The outdoor shower was great for washing the sand off off feet & paws. We can’t wait to go back!

This is not a dog friendly place. This is a dog bar serving great food and libations. We thought about staying in Columbia for the night rather than just passing though because of this place. Just go already!!

We were seated with our two pups on the covered porch (there is also a patio area in front of that) with a very nice view of the river. We had a couple of cocktails and chicken wings. Food and service were both very good!

We stopped off mid afternoon for cocktails and a snack. Drinks were good and the appetizers were delicious! We’ll definitely go back for dinner next time we are in town.

We were seated on the patio, and our server brought 2 small water bowls without us asking. Dinner was great as well as the service. As we finished dinner, the manager came over to ask us what type of dog our pug mix was. She proceeded to share that info into her headset/earpiece thing for the rest of the staff to hear as they had all been discussing how cute she was. Too sweet! We definitely recommend this spot.

Beachside Diner is dog enthusiastic! They have a large, covered & screened outdoor area. The staff offered the girls water and treats, and the other customers also seemed excited to share the restaurant with the 4-legged customers. GREAT breakfast food as well. We actually went here twice during our time in St. Augustine.

Their menu has a kids/pets section! Staff and other customers were super sweet to our girls. Great food and good service. Get there early, though! It gets busy!

We stopped in for drinks one rainy afternoon. Our dogs were welcomed into the enclosed patio, which was great! Lots of places only allow dogs outside, so it’s no fun when the weather is bad. Not the case here! It’s going to rain some time when you’re in Florida, so stop in and enjoy some good food and drinks with your dogs on the covered patio at The Craft Bar!

While in Destin, we visited many dog friendly places (thanks, Bring Fido!). Out of all of them, this was by far our favorite! Renee was our server, and she was excellent to us and our pups! She provided them with fresh water bowls and told us about other dog friendly business in the immediate area! Views were beautiful, food was delicious, and the drinks went down easily! We couldn’t recommend this place more!
