While you’re chowing down on a MUTTS Original Chicken Sandwich and sipping a Barkarita, Fido will be exploring the one-acre off-leash dog park at MUTTS Canine Cantina in Dallas. The park features separate areas for large and small dogs, and attendants are on duty to pick up after them and ensure they have ample water for both drinking and playing. This leaves you (relatively) free to dine, drink and relax with friends. If your dog would rather hang by your side, leashed pups can join you on the patio where they can order a Pupsicle made of beef broth, peanut butter and an edible bone or a Doggie Dog (bite-sized 100% beef frank).

If your furry friend is about to celebrate a birthday, contact MUTTS Pawty Planner to schedule a private event with all of his pals. Four-legged guests receive party hats and bow ties, a bowl of bones and a bucket of popcorn. Decorations for the party include fire hydrant centerpieces, and all canines get access to the dog park.

MUTTS has a second branch in Fort Worth, TX, with a third location set to open in Allen later this year. Access is by membership only, but daily passes can be purchased for $8.95. Monthly passes are available for $16.95, and annual passes cost $169.50.

Eat. Drink. Stay. That’s the motto of Denver’s Watering Bowl, also referred to as “your best friend’s bar” because it pays special attention to four-legged guests. This Glendale neighborhood restaurant and tavern boasts 7,000 square feet of fenced, turf dog park for Fido to stretch his legs. It also has two pet-friendly patios where your pup can join you for a delicious meal. If he's been a good boy, order a round of dog treats for the table or a doggie cake on special occasions.

Furry guests are welcomed through a special side entrance leading straight to the patio area. When temperatures rise, your pup can cool off in a doggie pool or on a bed of ice. In the winter, heated tents will keep the patio toasty. Dog park attendants are also on hand to clean up after your pooch and make sure she’s happy.

At the Watering Bowl, Fido plays for free.

Dogs rule at BRK Republic Dog Park & Bar, but humans are always welcome to join their best friends. This play area combines an off-leash dog park, social drinkery with 30 drafts, and Lilo’s Streetfood and Bar, a delicious cafe serving tacos, rice bowls and more. From the play area and wash stations to doggie treats and 2,400 square feet of fenced off-leash fun, this place is all about keeping Fido happy all day. Pups can play on the artificial turf park while a Dog Park supervisor, also known as a Woofere, keeps a watchful eye on the proceedings. Day passes for pups are available for a fee of $10, monthly memberships are $20, and annual memberships cost $220.

A doggie jungle gym, a giant bowl filled with tennis balls and two fenced dog parks for both large and small pups? Sounds like a hound’s heaven if you ask us! Located on the shore of the Missouri River in downtown Kansas City, Bar K Dog Bar offers humans and their canines a place to eat, drink and meet new friends. Dogtenders are on site to look after Fido while you dine on “healthy casual” fare sourced from ethical and humane farmers.

For the indecisive mutt, order a doggie flight with a sampling of any three menu items. The dog bar also has an on-site, full-service grooming salon if your pooch is looking for a new ‘do, and a self-bathing facility to clean up before heading home.

Annual memberships are also available for $225 for the first dog and $25 for each additional dog.

Whether you’re studying for a big exam, writing a blog or just looking to relax with your pup and a cup of Joe, ParkGrounds in Atlanta is the place to be. Order freshly brewed pour-over coffee from Counter Culture Coffee and have breakfast or brunch on the patio. Later in the day, grab a sandwich and a cold beer or mixed drink and find a picnic table in the shade. Meet up with friends or make new ones while your pup runs and plays in the fully fenced dog park. WiFi is free, so you can post pictures of all the cute dogs to your Instagram. Just remember to keep an eye on your pooch and clean up after him.

Dogs play for free with their "pawrents" at ParkGrounds.

Located in Chisholm Creek, Solo’s Park & Pub is where pups and people come to play. Home to an off-leash dog park divided into small and large sections with agility equipment, a bath and a beautiful lawn for zoomies, you and your pooch won’t want to go home after last call. Get the good kind of bite from the bar, which offers catchy cocktails like The Salty Chihuahua, Hair of the Dog and That's So Fetch.

Restaurants that allow dogs to dine indoors can be hard to find. In fact, there is only one in the state of Colorado, but it’s a good one! Pub Dog welcomes leashed dogs inside the restaurant and on the outdoor patio. There are no servers, so head to the counter and order the Dog Pile Nachos for yourself and choose from a Pupsicle, Puppy Patty, Bacon, Bark Bowl or Celery and Carrots from the dog menu. Fido can work it off later by gallivanting with friends in the 3,000-square-foot, fully fenced, off-leash dog park. On your best friend's birthday or “gotcha” day, celebrate by booking the entire dining room for your private event or simply show up ready to "pawty!" Don’t forget to pick up a doggie cake from nearby Wag n’ Wash!

Pub Dog adds a 3% membership fee to your bill at each visit.
