What’s the point of experiencing all the bars and restaurants New Orleans has to offer if you can’t bring your best friend along… man’s best friend that is. Throughout the city, there are many establishments that openly welcome Fido and Fluffy to partake in happy hour revelry. With this past weekend, March 23, being National Puppy Day, this week the editor’s have picked their favorite pet-friendly locations for locals and visitors alike to try.
“Wine Garden is one of my favorites! The happy hour is delicious – garlic feta fries are my top pick – and the outside patio makes the heat a little more bearable. Even better when there are furry faces and fluffy paws stomping around.”

“The Chloe is the closest thing Uptown New Orleans has to the Chateau Marmont! Sit in one of the cute outdoor dining spots, order a cocktail for you, a water bowl for you pup and watch all the cool kids walk by.”

“You can hang out with your pup outside of The Chloe and the Columns on St. Charles – heck, why not stop at both …”

“Most of the breweries with outdoor spaces around town are pretty pup friendly. And you might be surprised to find that several high-end restaurants like Herbsaint allow dogs to join guests at their outdoor dining tables. ”

“Most of the breweries with outdoor seating are good spots for pets to come along. Miel Brewery and Taproom is a great place to hang out with your human and pup friends.”
