It’s starting to warm up in the Bay, and soaking up the sun on a weekend afternoon with your canine companion on a patio drinking beer can’t be beat! Woof! Here are just a couple dog-friendly bars you should check out.
San Francisco
Lucky 13 (2140 Market St)
This cash-only, cool dive bar is loved by locals and their dogs. Grab a beer and hang out in the small backyard area with your pooch!
Toronado (547 Haight St)
This bar can get a little packed on the weekends, with limited seating and standing room, so it’s recommended you bring your dog on a weekday if you can!
Bloodhound (1145 Folsom St)
Located in SoMa, this cozy bar is a great place to bring your chill pupper while you grab a nightcap. Plus, there’s pool! Maybe you can teach your dog how to play…
