Nice ambience for a cold brew and tasty lunch in historic district. Our Fergie was brought a water bowl right away and all staff was very friendly! Food was delicious and we had great live music. We will definitely return!
- LoriJun 21, 2023Great spot
great spot with excellent food! service was awesome! it started raining and they were sure to keep us dry and happy!
- JeanineJun 8, 2023Awesome patio dining
There’s a few tarps over the garden tables that do create a nice shade. There are also lots of heavy duty fans on stands moving the air around. We were very comfortable in the middle of a June day. The boys were greeted with individual bowls of ice water by our server, Sarah. She was so happy to see the dogs, petting them and making a fuss. We didn’t eat and run, stayed for another cocktail but no one rushed us out or gave us and the dogs a dirty look. Our food and drinks were delicious. Very welcoming and would definitely go back!
- KathyMay 14, 2023Great location and vibe
Great patio with lots of foot traffic nearby, ice water for puppies, good food and a great Sangria.
- MJFeb 25, 2023Small outdoor patio where food is actually served
The food was average but our waitress was sweet. when we first arrived the one server we encountered was a bit rude, maybe a bad day but didn’t seem like she appreciated Dogs there.
- FabianFeb 22, 2023Pet Friendly - Bad Service
The yard was nice but the services was not desirable. Perhaps this is my experience and you may have a more successful visit. I sat at a table and no one approached us for service, we ended up leaving. At night, we decided to give it another chance, however, the exact same thing happened. we will never return and cannot provide a positive review.
- MichelleFeb 12, 2023Perfect people watching location!
We brought our two dogs and were welcomed with a smile and water bowl. Had the perfect table for people watching so relaxed and enjoyed great food and drinks.

The backyard area of Meehans is a great place to bring the dogs. They even bring water bowls to the table for dogs.
- NicoleMay 30, 2022Dog friendly patio
Very busy on a holiday weekend evening. Steamer was broken. so no yummy oysters, but fries seafood was tasty. Margarita was refreshing. Mahi sandwich and burgers were also good. Service good and she brought our pups water right away. Very dog friendly.
- CRISApr 8, 2022They don’t want dogs there
We stopped in after seeing this restaurant in Bringfido. We had out small dog contained in a stroller. We sat next to a table that had 2 small dogs.
The server acted as if we were offensive. She took our apps, mixed drinks and dinner order.
We were at a small table near the bar. A patron walked by and commented nicely about our dog. He went to the bar. We could overhear the bartender saying to the patron that she had no idea why people would bring a dog to a restaurant. She didn’t think they should be allowed. She said it load enough for us to hear.
I asked her when we were leaving if she’s ever traveled hours away from home and stayed in a hotel with a dog. We looked for an outdoor space that allows dogs. She had nothing to say. This place obviously doesn’t want dogs there.
I’m try someplace else. There are many other restaurants in the area. - DoreenMar 17, 2022Great service dog friendly

We stopped with our pup after dinner one night.
Fantastic bartender,staff and clients. We sat had a couple of beers and talked to other dinners.
A couple of beers and Curry Chips laters , we moved up the street. My husband says the BEST Curry Chips ever!! - EmilySep 23, 2019So friendly!
The staff was amazing both my dogs had bowls of water before I even had a chance to sit. The food is out of this world. 10/10 would eat again.
- JenniferJul 2, 2019Great Experience
Great food, super friendly to our pooch!! Wings were delish!!
- EricFeb 23, 2019We love it here.
There's room for our very large dogs. Staff is friendly, always brings water for the boys. One girl even remember thier names. Never had a bad experience or meal here.
- JasonSep 10, 2018Laid back during day, loud at night
We stopped there twice during our stay. Once at lunch time and again later at night. During lunch we sat outside at the bar area immediately the bartender came out with water and greeted us. Good drinks and the food smelled great. We later showed up during nightime, probably their most busiest time of night for them we found seating they had by the wall and the people passing by kept the dog busy, and again they had water easily available. The only reason why the 4 bones is because if your dog needs to potty the closest grassy area is about a block away. And it was kinda loud
- LindaMore than a year agoSat at the bar and had a positive experience
We had a good experience here. We sat at the bar and were close to the street so got a great deal of attention from passersby both human and dog. Device was good.
- ColleenMore than a year agoDogs welcome
Happened upon this restaurant with our two dogs. The service was attentive to us ... and the dogs. There were water bowls for the dogs. The burgers and fries were good, the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. There were several other dogs, and all were welcome. We will return, as there were other things on the menu we wanted to try.
- MattMore than a year agoDon't bring your dog here!
Omg..im a frequent customer in your outside patio..often eating dinner there..or stopping in for a few drinks on my frequent visits to old town..i go to the outside because i bring my little dog..i stopped in on the 4th after the fireworks and sat at the bar..right on the street part..and as another dog walking down the street came up on us fairly quickly..my dog let out a yelp..how nice it was for me and my friend..both in our 60s..with a little fluffy lap dog..get thrown out of the bar by whoever it was..latin looking ..middle aged and nasty..our 13.00 dollar drafts untouched at this point..when i tried to quickly finish it..again i get a gruff 'get your dogs out of here now' thrown at me..really?..the people walkin by with the dog didnt spend a dime at ur place..probably not repeat customers either..which im fairly sure i wont be either..i havnt gotten talked to like that by an adult in my life..and if you think hes good for your business..well..just keep him out there working..ill give you a chance to respond before i take this to social media..but..i think its fair others be warned..if i could do it over again..besides just not coming to your place..i should of demanded my money back..but on the upside..we did end up finding scarlett o'haras and not only had great music..but friendly and reasonably priced
