Pets Like Going Out, Too

The Woods family–even the pup–enjoy treats at Cold Penguin in North Beach.

By Kathy Knotts

Sometimes you just don’t want to leave your best buddy at home. And these days, finding a pet-friendly patio while you enjoy a drink or a meal on the town isn’t out of the question. It’s even better when a business goes out of its way to make your four-legged companion feel just as welcome as you. 

For dining out with the dogs, we recommend a quick search over at bringfido.com which will tell you what restaurants are animal-approved. Most places that have outdoor seating—especially on the waterfronts—are pet friendly and usually offer complimentary bowls of water for your dog. So grab those social butterflies and head to a few of our favorite people and pup-watching locales that cater to appetites both human and canine.
