“What are the best dog-friendly bars and restaurants in Tampa Bay?”
in Ybor (recommended by @charliechowsdown):
Come for the coffee, stay for breakfast, lunch, or the acai bowls! There’s only a couple of outdoor tables, but don’t worry — your pup is welcome inside.
(recommended by @tampafoodplug) is a Latin American-inspired cafe with two locations — St. Pete and Seminole Heights. The laid-back atmosphere and casual outdoor dining makes this a perfect spot for you and your pup!

is a full-service bar and 4,500 square foot off-leash dog park. Day pass, 10-punch pass, or annual membership available.
(recommended by @influencetampa):
You don’t need to live at the Grand Central condos to take advantage of the dog-friendly courtyard. Wine and dine at CENA, grab a pint at Pour House, or have a casual meal at City Dog Cantina.
(recommended by @laurenashleywest)
is a full-service indoor and outdoor bar with an off-leash dog park. Day pass and monthly or annual membership available.
(recommended by @nhieguys and @influencetampa)
is Tampa’s only 360-degree waterfront restaurant and bar centrally located on the Tampa Riverwalk. There’s complimentary dog biscuits and water or you can treat your pup to a doggie ice cream!
recommended by @laurenashleywest, @tampafoodplug, and @nhieguys): Savor the view, relax on the lawn, drink at the biergarten, and grab some grub from any of the 15 food concepts operating out of colorful shipping containers. Fun Fact: Murph’s Barbecue is named after the co-founders pup!.
(recommended by @tampafoodplug, @tampafoodplug, and @nhieguys): Hang with your pup in the spacious indoor air-conditioned park or fenced-in outdoor park complete with K9 Grass while sipping on a house pint or glass of wine. Check Instagram to view the food truck schedule! Day pass and monthly or annual membership available.
(recommended by @charliechowsdown) is an outdoor bar located at Armature Works, just a stone's throw from the Riverwalk. It’s a scenic spot to sip on a cold drink, eat fresh seafood, and people (or dog) watch.
(recommended by @jesslivialife): With Armature Works right next door, there’s no shortage of dogs here. Saddle up at the outdoor bar or snag an outdoor table at this essential Tampa restaurant. Afterwards, stroll the Riverwalk and visit Queenie’s Dog Park.
