You shouldn't be cooped up all of the time in your house, and your dog shouldn't, either. You and your buddy both need exercise and new experiences. And sometimes you even like to share food together, too. (Don't tell the vet.)
If you and your pup are looking to get out but you aren't sure where your four-legged friend is allowed to visit, this is the collection for you.
Each of these spots not only allows dogs, but they're known to welcome them, too. Some were designed with dogs in mind and some of them are just happy when dogs show up. Either way, you're guaranteed to have more fun at these places than you would at the dog park. Like, do they even have beer at the dog park? We rest our case.

Tick Tock Tavern
(3459 Magnolia Avenue, no phone)
It's great to be a dog when your person brings you to hang out on this patio. The atmosphere is casual and there's plenty to see, too. Other dogs can be seen walking down Magnolia Avenue frequently and there are so many smells to smell. A+ dog experience.

Arzola’s Fajitas & Margaritas
(2730 McNair Avenue, 314-226-9672)
We love it when a restaurant welcomes the pups, and at Arzola’s Fajitas & Margaritas in Benton Park your dog is more than welcome to come hang out on the patio. He's going to be drooling over all of your food, though, so be warned. People can't resist a sizzling fajita and dogs can't, either. Slip the little guy a taste.
