Dog-friendly eateries

When it comes to the local culinary scene, Cleveland is no longer in the shadow of cities like Chicago, New York and San Francisco. We have chefs and restaurants that any city would crave. So while Cleveland has rightfully earned its place on the national foodie map, there is still an area in the world of dining where Cleveland is lagging behind—dog-friendly eateries.
We may not be to the ultra-accommodating level some other cities show for their four-legged best friends, but Cleveland is making headway. Here’s a snapshot of some of the dining destinations and bars in town that are pet friendly. And while this list is mostly contained to patios (thankfully there is still plenty of time to enjoy the outside), it’s nice to know that us pet owners now have options when it comes to dining out with our canine companions.
