Barker Brewhouse is a new craft beer taphouse and nano brewery in Evansville, IN. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you spot the giant dog mural on the building. Fido can join you inside the taproom or on the outdoor patio while you enjoy a drink. With over 30 taps, as well as a huge selection of cans and bottles and a rotating selection of house beers, there is truly something for everybody! Food trucks are often on site, so you can place an order or bring your own food. Be sure to grab a bowl of complimentary popcorn to share with your pooch, too.

Stay with your pup just a few miles away from Barker Brewhouse at DoubleTree by Hilton Evansville, which is also a short walk to the Ohio Riverfront.

Bring Fido to meet new friends and get his energy out at Jake and Cooper’s Bark Park, a “boujee dog playground” that will open on May 23 in Oregon, OH. This is the city’s first off-leash dog park, where pups can run freely in the fenced area. You will need a membership in order to use the park, so be sure to register online in advance. The park will also play host to many dog-friendly events.

Stay right down the street at Comfort Inn East Oregon, which is central to all that Oregon has to offer!

Fido can sit with you while you enjoy a drink at the Sonoma Winery Tasting Room at Roche Winery in Sonoma, CA. Leashed and friendly pups are welcome to join you at an umbrella-shaded table on their spacious outdoor patio, which also has fire pits for cooler evenings. They offer a variety of sweet, semi-sweet and dry wines. They even have two winery dogs who may come up to say hello to you and your furry friends!

Book a room in town for you and your sweet pooch at Best Western Sonoma Valley Inn & Krug Event Center.

Fido can play with friends and enjoy lots of new sniffs at this recently opened dog park located inside of Enderly Park in Charlotte, NC. The area is fenced, allowing your pup to get some energy out while playing off leash! The surrounding park has been renovated and features tennis and pickleball courts, walking paths, benches, and a picnic shelter which leashed dogs are welcome to enjoy.

Spend the night just a few miles away at Residence Inn by Marriott Charlotte Uptown, which features a grassy pet relief area on the property for your convenience.

Bring your pup along for an evening of cinema at Tee Pee Drive-In in Sapulpa, OK! This old-school drive-in theater allows you and Fido to watch a film together from the comfort of your car. When you’re feeling snacky, grab something salty or sweet from the concession stand. Dogs must be leashed when walking the grounds.

Stay with your pup at Super 8 Sapulpa Tulsa Area, which is just a short drive from the theater. While you’re in the area, spend a day in nearby Tulsa, OK, which boasts a variety of pet-friendly businesses including Roosevelt's, a gastropub where Fido can join you on the outdoor patio.

There’s something fun for both you and Fido at Park-9 Dog Bar, a full-service bar and indoor dog park in Everett, MA. For humans, they serve craft cocktails, rotating beers and wine. Pups can enjoy dog treat flights and dog beer! Canines are welcome to play in the park off leash, and there's even a separate area for pups under 25 lbs. Annual and monthly memberships as well as daily passes are available, but all dogs must be registered prior to entering. Guests are also able to reserve space to celebrate their dog's birthday “paw-ty” or special yappy hour!

Book a room with your pup at Envision Hotel Boston Everett, which is a short one-mile drive (or Uber) from Park-9 Dog Bar. While you’re in the area, you can enjoy some fresh air at Mary O'Malley State Park, a pet-friendly park overlooking the Mystic River.
