With the hospitality sector continuing to open up for both indoor and outdoor venues following lockdown restrictions, there’s never been a better time to relax and have a bit of fun. Whether enjoying some delicious food or having a few drinks with friends, Liverpool is a world-class city for hospitality.
Do you own a dog and are worried about leaving it alone for a few hours? That doesn’t have to stop you! You can still go out for food & drink and have a good time with your pet alongside you. After all, a dog is a human’s best friend, and life experiences are best shared with them. Many venues are dog-friendly and will allow your dog to visit their premises, whether outdoors or indoors. Some pubs and restaurants may even have some treats to give out to your furry friend!
Faye’s Doggy Boutique is a Liverpool doggy day care centre that specialises in looking after your dog when you have other life events going on. Faye has provided us with an excellent summary of some of the best Liverpool hospitality venues that will welcome your dog with open arms. The perfect way to spend your summer!
The Baltic Market
Let’s start with the much-loved Baltic Market! Based in the trendy Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool, the market is perhaps the reason for the area’s recent rejuvenation. If you don’t quite know what you fancy eating, then this independent market is undoubtedly the best place to visit. The Baltic Market is home to a wide range of street food vendors, from fried chicken at Pattersons to kebabs and falafel at Hafla Hafla. If you’ve got room, make sure you treat yourself to waffles and brownies at The Midnight Delivery! The Baltic Market has always catered to dogs, and your furry friends can expect to receive treats, food and drinks galore! As an ever-growing choice for dog owners, they may even make a few friends on the way.
Down The Hatch
Down The Hatch is perhaps considered to be one of Liverpool’s best restaurants for vegan junk food. The underground basement restaurant on Duke Street offers an incredible choice of vegan food with generous portion sizes and gorgeous cocktails. Dogs are more than welcome to join you here. As dogs are generally not that into plant-based meals, you don’t have to worry about them trying to steal your food!
Salt Dog Slims
Salt Dog Slims may be famous for their American-style hot dogs, but they also welcome doggy visitors! This cosy restaurant offers a tasty selection of American dishes, bespoke cocktails and beers from around the world. You can have everything from peanut butter & jelly hotdogs to grilled cheese sandwiches. Your dogs will be treated to free water and treats. Salt Dog Slims is a better choice for lunch when the restaurant is quieter.
BrewDog
BrewDog is another restaurant where the clue is in the name! In fact, this is possibly one of the best restaurants where you can take your dog. Dogs can enjoy dog-friendly beers and treats while their owners have the choice of craft beers, mouthwatering burgers and world-famous buffalo wings. Above all else, if it’s your dog’s birthday, the restaurant will throw them a party complete with party hats and pupcakes!
La Finca Eivissa
Going abroad for a holiday may be up in the air at the moment, but who says you cannot have a taste of Ibiza right here in Liverpool? La Finca Eivissa is an Ibiza-themed cocktail and tapas bar where you can drink sangria and eat delicious Spanish snacks. Dogs are very much welcome with open arms and can enjoy a selection of treats.
PINS Social Club
PINS Social Club is a relatively new entertainment venue that is best described as the number one destination for ‘competitive socialising’. Based on Duke Street, you can enjoy a wide range of games, including bowling, pool, table tennis and shuffleboard. During summer, you want to head to the Rooftop to catch a few rays and relax with live music. The bar offers refreshing cocktails while the restaurant serves a choice of freshly baked pizzas. PINS is the perfect venue for a photo opportunity with you and your pup. Your dog may even get featured on the brand’s Instagram profile – one step to becoming a celeb dog!
Dead Crafty Beer Company
Finally, we come to the popular Dead Crafty Beer Company! This rustic bar severs an extensive range of world beers on tap and in craft bottles. The bar is dog-friendly, and their mascot is even a Tibetan Terrier called Dolly. Dead Crafty Beer Company will provide your dog with water bowls and treats. There’s also poo bags behind the bar for when your dog needs to do their business!
As much as you might love taking the dog with you, perhaps you want a break from them now and then? You don’t have to feel guilty for leaving your dog behind! While you have some time for yourself, you can book your dog into doggy day care for the day. Businesses such as Faye’s Doggy Boutique exist to provide dogs with a fun and safe place to roam while receiving excellent care. Day care has several benefits, such as improving socialisation skills, relieving separation anxiety, and establishing a stable routine.
