Fantastic food with dog-friendly patio
Magnolia's at the MillWe absolutely loved our meal. Great food with a dog-friendly patio. Nice to have the option to get fancier food while out with our hound. Highly recommended!
Love the friendly atmosphere
8 Chains North WineryThe staff and patrons are so friendly! The dogs are allowed inside which is such a great find. The wines are great Virginia wines. Definitely recommend!
Beautiful lawns, gardens & trails
State Arboretum of VirginiaThis is a fantastic place to come if you enjoy nature trails that also teach you while you stroll. Very dog-friendly (they even supplied a water bowl by the restrooms)!
Great scenic location to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine
Three Creeks WineryWe loved sitting outside with a beautiful view of the vineyards while enjoying a glass of wine with our greyhound by our side. You can’t take dogs in the tasting barn or on the deck, but there is plenty of outside seating in the lawn area. The staff sent our pup a treat when they gave us our wine!
Huge VERY dog-friendly location
Vanish BreweryThis brewery has many options inside and out to enjoy some drinks and food with your pup. They often have local vendors and music, too. Great place with a fun atmosphere!
Very accommodating, even on cool weather
O'Rorke's Eatery & SpiritsOn a 50 degree evening during Greyhounds in Gettysburg, the staff were willing to accommodate our greyhound and us on the side deck for drinks and dinner. They even offered a chicken breast or beef patty option for the pups! The service was great and our server couldn’t have been friendlier.
French Wines in the Finger Lakes
Domaine Leseurre WineryDogs are welcome inside and out by a very friendly staff. Both offer gorgeous views of Keuka Lake. This winery stands out in the Finger Lakes region as having a true French flavor, as it is owned by a married couple who are both from France. Enjoy a tasting or a glass paired with a charcuterie board or other small treats.
Great find out in the country
Fleur De Lis Brew WorksMassive outdoor space in the middle of farmland. A variety of beers and ciders on tap. The staff was very friendly to humans and pups, alike!
Great local museum
The Seneca Museum of Waterways and IndustryIncredibly interesting, free (consider a donation) and very dog-friendly! Stairs are accessible with your dog, but an elevator is available, if needed. The staff is very knowledgeable.
Unique Guided Tasting
Lakeshore WineryOne of the very early Finger Lakes farm wineries from the 1970s. Still small, so you get an intimate guided tasting. During the winter months, you are inside sitting on benches or rocking chairs beside a fire in a fireplace while your guide gives you the history of the selection of sweet or dry wines. They were very dog- friendly and offered treats to our greyhound several time!
Winter hounds love the Gould!
The Gould HotelWe have had our annual greyhound gathering at the Gould for the past two years. We love how accommodating they are. Thanks for hosting us!
Yummy cheese tasting
Muranda Cheese CompanyDogs are allowed inside and out while their owners taste several delicious cheeses! Well worth a stop.
Friendly with a great view of the lake
Goose Watch WineryA good variety of wines - stop in if you’re looking for a unique variety of wine that you don’t find everywhere else. The staff was super friendly to our greyhound! They also have a brewery on property during the seasonal months.
Always so friendly to the greyhounds
Toast WineryWe really enjoy visiting Toast winery during our Grapehound and Winter Hounds events. The staff is always so friendly! We appreciate them welcoming us each year!
Fun appetizers and bar food
Seneca Stag BrewingThis is one of our go-to places to get a yummy bite to eat during our annual Winter Hounds and Grapehounds events with our greyhound. The staff is very friendly!
An enjoyable afternoon
Knapp WineryWe enjoyed a tasting flight from their large menu of wines and spirits. They were very dog friendly and welcomed our greyhound wherever we wanted to sit. They even have a large treat container for their four-legged guests!
Who doesn’t love a candy store??
Keuka Candy EmporiumWhat a fun place to visit for a delicious walk down memory lane! If you are in the mood for some candy from your childhood or some homemade chocolate confections, make sure to stop by this dog-friendly candy store in downtown Penn Yan.
Stunning view and very dog-friendly!
Vineyard View WineryWe love the atmosphere at this small, family- run winery with fantastic views of Keuka Lake. They are very welcoming of dogs inside and out. Nice charcuterie board to go along with your wine tasting. Be sure to treat yourself and get the locally- made chocolate.
A Fantastic Weekend for Greyhounds
Greyhounds Reach the Beach®GRtB is a great event to attend for greyhounds and their families. Having it at the convention center in Rehoboth is so convenient. The whole area is so dog-friendly and Columbus Day weekend is a great long weekend to have it. We absolutely love coming here!
An Annual Stop for Us
Zogg's Raw Bar & GrillWhen we come to the Greyhounds Reach the Beach event each year, we make sure to stop for grouper fingers at Zogg’s! We love the beach bar atmosphere and how friendly the staff is towards our dog. This year, they even offered a “chicken entree” ($4) to our hound, which she loved!
Super Dog and People Friendly!
Purple ParrotThis is our favorite place to visit on our annual Greyhounds Reach the Beach trip. They have a fun menu and the mojitos are great to enjoy in this beach vibe atmosphere. It’s biergarten in the back is the hidden gem of Rehoboth Beach!
Lots of space for dog!
Hampton Inn LancasterWe enjoyed our overnight stay with our greyhound. We were given a room on the first floor at the end of the hall by a side door. Easy access to outside grounds. There are plenty of grassy areas with a nice paved walking path on a hilly area next to the hotel.
Boutique winery and bakery-cafe
Tabora Farm & WineryAlthough you can’t take your dog inside the buildings for a wine tasting or into the cafe for food, there are plenty of options outside. There is a covered porch on the front of the cafe, two back patios and seating in the side yard. You can also enjoy a nice glass of wine in an outside patio area off the tasting room. The food and bakery items are all made in house, and they are delicious!
Hip Dog-Friendly Canal side Location for Drinks & Eats
Outlet 111The minute we walked through the gate to the spacious canal side patio, the staff was giving our greyhound a huge bowl of fresh water and several different flavored biscuits. We enjoyed glasses of fine wines and a delicious charcuterie board while there. Worth a visit.
One of our favorites hideaways in the Finger Lakes
Laurentide Beer CompanyGorgeous, park-like outdoor setting with a pub atmosphere in a converted carriage house. Very dog friendly inside and out. They often have music on weekends, and food can be ordered and delivered from their restaurant next door. Eclectic menu selections, great craft beer made on property with local wines and ciders available, too.
Greyt Fun!
The Grapehound Wine TourWe love seeing all of our greyhound friends and enjoying some great wines at dog-friendly wineries each year!
Gorgeous View and incredibly friendly
Catharine Valley WineryThis winery has one of the best views on Seneca Lake and they are very dog-friendly. Enjoy a tasting flight inside or out with your pup.
Dog-friendly inside and out
J.R. Dill WineryEnjoy a tasting flight of wine or by the glass with your pup inside or outside on the covered deck or lawn. Local beers and soft drinks with lite food items also available. The staff was very friendly!
Great BBQ Atmosphere
Nickel's Pit BBQGreat indoor-outdoor connection between the restaurant and patio. Makes you feel like you are part of the whole place while being a dog-friendly patio. Water bowl was offered right away and our pup loved watching the street traffic through the wrought iron fence. Great people watching directly on the street of this charming, historic lakeside community for us, too!
Very dog friendly!
Lakeside ResortOur stay during the Grapehounds greyhound gathering has been fantastic. The new cabins have modern amenities and have great views of the lake. The staff are very friendly and dogs are allowed in all areas except inside the bistro and lounge. There is a covered porch if you’d like to get a meal with your pup, though. There are even walking trails around the property. I highly recommend this place!
Great view and great wines!
Red Tail Ridge WineryIf you are looking for a great outdoor space with plenty of seating options (high top tables, low tables, couch seating) in a covered pavilion to taste amazing wines, Red Tail Ridge is the place for you and your pup!
Very dog-friendly inside and out!
Keuka Spring VineyardsThe staff is extremely friendly and you can enjoy a tasting inside with your pup. You can also sit outside with a glass or bottle with a gorgeous view of Keuka Lake.
Nice location away from the busy areas
Iron Forge Brewing CompanyWe enjoyed our lunch and drinks at this new dog- friendly brewery. The beer and craft cocktails were great and the food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and brought water right out to our dog on a hot afternoon.
A large variety of dog-friendly outlet stores
Tanger Outlets SeviervilleStaff in the stores we went into were very dog-friendly. There are plenty of shady walkways with benches and grassy areas for potty breaks.
Can’t give a review - VERY limited hours
Wild Plum Tea RoomWe arrived in Gatlinburg on a Sunday and tried to eat here on the first day, Unfortunately, the Tea Room is only open 3 days a week (Thurs., Fri. & Sat.). We waited until Thursday (our last day of vacation) to go, only to find out that advance reservations are needed…and you can’t make same day reservations. Very disappointing.
Extensive Adult beverage and food menu
Junction 35 SpiritsFun location for a drink and a meal with your pup on the dog-friendly patio overlooking a family fun-zone!
Easy place to stop and have a drink
Gatlinburg Brewing Company - SeviervilleThe staff were very accommodating to us and our greyhound. They brought her a bowl of water to the dog-friendly patio as we enjoyed our beers/ciders, and they checked on us often. The only downside is the location in a plaza.
Great Shady Spot
Margaritaville - Pigeon ForgeThe staff were very accommodating to our pup and there is a large deck with lots of shady options. Our server brought a big glass of cold water for our greyhound so we could refill her bowl. There was a nice breeze blowing as we sat and ate.
Very Welcoming to our Pup
The Village ShopsOur greyhound was welcomed into most shops as we strolled along during the evening. Quaint little village shops with a nice variety to choose from.
Very friendly atmosphere
Moon Pie General Store and Original Book WarehouseAs soon as I walked in with my greyhound, the person behind the front counter came right over to offer her a treat! This was a fun store with a little bit of everything, especially a good variety of books. Of course, we couldn’t leave without an old fashioned bottled soda and a moon pie (or two)!
Lots to Look At!
Three Bears General StoreThis is a large store with plenty to see. Your pup is welcome to explore right along with you.
Yummy Cookies!
Byrd's Famous CookiesThe staff at Byrd’s welcomed our greyhound in on a hot June day to cool off in the air conditioned store. We were in for a treat as we sampled (and then bought) several of their delicious cookies!
Amazing views…just not as amazing as the pics lead you to believe
Firehouse CabinThis was a great cabin on top of a mountain with amazing views. However, the pics on BringFido are a bit old, as the trees have grown quite a bit and are in the way of half of the view. Still pretty amazing, though. A few caveats about this place in regards to your pup:
-the floors are all bare wood or laminate and can be slippery for some dogs
- there isn’t much of a spot to use outside for potty needs and you need to be very aware of cars coming from either direction without much warning or room to get off to the side
- the only way to get to the second floor is a spiral staircase (which our greyhound can’t do at all)
- if your dog gets carsick, this may not be the place for you as the only way up and down the mountain is a narrow, winding road which takes about 10 minutes one way
That being said, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have loved the relaxing vibe being surrounded by nature in this comfortable cabin!
Great deck with authentic German menu
Wild Bear TavernIf you are looking for a different type of food while on vacation, this place has great German food on its menu. It’s also very easy to accommodate your dog as there is a large deck out front with several tables including some with umbrellas for shade. The staff was very friendly and interacted nicely with our pup!
Inexpensive Tasting and a “Show”
Sugarlands Distilling CompanyThis distillery offers an inexpensive ($5) tasting of 13 different moonshine varieties. Your pup can hang out with you anywhere you go!
Great Little Museum
The Salt and Pepper Shaker MuseumWe thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this very pet friendly little family run museum. The staff was very knowledgeable and they have designed well laid out interactive museum!
Relaxing Oasis In A Beautiful Setting
Early Mountain VineyardsDogs are welcome out front and out back. You’ll want to make the walk around back (go left through the grass per the staff instructions) to a lovely seating area where dogs are very welcome! Enjoy tasty wines and food with a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We highly recommend the berry cobbler!
Great Little Winery
Inspire Moore WineryThis eclectic winery is very dog-friendly, both inside and out. Gorgeous porch views overlooking the valley and vineyards. Be forewarned, there is a dog-friendly winery cat named Muscat, who enjoys hanging out ON the bar!
Delicious food, and very dog friendly
PersimmonsFantastic food, great views of the river and extremely dog friendly make for a great combination!
Fun store to explore with your pup
The Black Cat ShoppeLots of fun gifts in this store - laughed out loud several times at some of the humorous items. Staff was friendly to us and our greyhound!
Fun for dogs and humans!
MuttigansMy greyhound found several yummy treats and a few fun toys while we enjoyed some yummy smoothies!
Great porch overlooking the beach
Crab's ClawSeafood-based menu with Caribbean-inspired items. Two deck options - one covered, one full-sun. Gorgeous views directly on the beach with center of Atlantic Beach activity. We loved our dishes and everyone was very dog-friendly.
Easy to access from Hotel across the road
The Growler Bar Atlantic BeachFound this dog- friendly bar across the street from our Doubletree hotel, which is also dog-friendly. Casual, friendly atmosphere with lots of craft beer options and a few quality wines.
Great State Park!
Fort Macon State ParkThis is a great State Park to visit (for free!). Great trails to walk on, beach to stroll on and Fort Macon is cool to explore. Dogs are allowed everywhere but inside buildings. Well worth a visit!
Great little local deli
The Village MarketEven though you are in a plaza, the owners of this local deli have created a little oasis in the side yard. A turf grass lawn is great for the dog to relax on. Plenty of seating at picnic tables with umbrellas with music softly playing from speakers. A dog waste station is conveniently located on the side of the yard. Large deli menu with delicious food. Highly recommend!
Easy walking trails (small elevation changes)
Emerald Isle Woods Park TrailWe thoroughly enjoyed our walk on the trails in early April. Easy walking, although there are slight elevation changes and roots to pay attention to. Lots of poop stations with bags and garbage cans. Nice, handicapped accessible bathrooms as well. There is a disc golf course throughout the park.
Secondary location (Atlantic Beach)
The Growler Bar Emerald IsleWe stumbled upon this little beach bar when staying at the Double Tree (dog-friendly) hotel across the street. Realized that The Growler had been listed on Bring Fido for Emerald Isle, but not Atlantic Beach. Both locations are very accommodating to all pups! This is laid back and very casual, but an easy place to enjoy a craft beer or wine while giving your pup an outing.
Very Dog-friendly, but a bit disorganized
Southern Salt Seafood CompanyVery laid back, with good seafood fare. However, it was a bit disorganized when we ate here. It may just have been situational for that day. The staff were very friendly and willing to accommodate our greyhound. We sat on an uncovered deck with great views of the harbor.
Very Dog Friendly Winery
Zugibe VineyardsEnjoy seated wine tastings with your leashed pup at this very dog-friendly winery. Lots of indoor or outdoor seating options. Mostly wines, but also have some beer and cider options with Mediterranean-style small plate food offerings. Well worth a stop!
Classy and Pretty with a Great view
Greenhill Winery & VineyardsWhile the view is great and the lawn is expansive, this winery is definitely more geared towards their wine club members. Dogs are allowed in the lawn area, so if you want shade, your pup will need to be under the table when it’s too windy for umbrellas.
Easy outdoor dining
Blue Mountain BreweryLarge, popular facility with lots of outdoor seating for you and your pup.
Very Dog Friendly!
Keswick WinerySmall winery with great facilities to accommodate your dog. We enjoyed our drink on the deck in the sun.
Unique Setting
Glass House WineryA uniquely designed building with mosaic art and horticulture with attractive view of rural countryside nestled in the rolling hills. Very dog friendly and worth the trip of the beaten path to try some good wines!
Convenient To Interstate Park
Sperr Memorial ParkThis well-maintained family- oriented park is an easy on-off to interstate 86. It features a pavilion with picnic tables, benches, playground and porta-potties nearby. There are two trails available for you and your pup. One goes around a fishing pond and the other is part of the local Rails-to-Trails system. Great all-around Park!
Very Dog Friendly Winery
Zugibe VineyardsSpecializing in dry NYS wines on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Dogs are always welcome both inside and out. Beautiful outdoor sitting area (both covered and not). Relax and enjoy the views of Seneca Lake while enjoy a tasting or glass of wine on the porch.
Great Drinks And Gourmet Bar Food
Bottomless BrewingUnique building is a entertainment by itself. A downstairs mini pub with a much more expansive area upstairs (if your dog can do stairs). Nice outdoor deck with a gorgeous view of Seneca Lake. Excellent craft beers, limited selection of cider and wine with delicious bar fare. Well worth a stop!
Gorgeous Views With Great Wines
Veritas Vineyards and WineryExpansive covered porch overlooking beautiful hidden VA valley.
Outdoor At Night
Miller's DowntownWonderful spot to enjoy a warm spring evening meal. Great menu selections and people watching as the crowds stroll past on this downtown walking mall.
Great Walking Trails
Preddy Creek ParkIf you enjoy walks with your dog in nature, this is the place you're looking for. Extensive selection of trails with varying degrees of challenge levels and length...take your pick! Restroom facilities are clean, well maintained, and easily accessible. Park website offers valuable information, as well as a downloadable map of the trails.
Wine Views and Historic Ruins
Barboursville VineyardsBeautiful grounds with a dog friendly expansive deck overlooking vineyards and the Blue Ridge Mountains. They also let our dog into the tasting room. A very relaxing hangout with several delicious wines to sample.
Gorgeous views
Antietam National BattlefieldHistoric battlefield with marked trails. Dog friendly. Learn and exercise with your dog pal.
Easy Rails-to-Trails Walk
Warrenton Branch GreenwayThis is an easy rails-to-trails path to take your dog on with multiple entry points and lots of dog-friendly amenities (waste pickup bag dispensers at several locations on the trail along with garbage cans, drinking fountains for both you and your pup at each end of the route, and access to the Warrenton Dog Park at the in town trailhead). Each entry point has a well displayed map showing your location along the trail. Plenty of shade along the trail so you and pup won’t get too overheated. An enjoyable three mile (round trip) walk!
Nice Stop Off 81
Woodstock Brew HousePlenty of regular indoor seating and nice outdoor patio seating for you and your pup. (Don’t be fooled by the tables on the front sidewalk - much bigger patio out back. ) Limited menu available but enjoyed what we had. Recommend the fried chicken sandwich and especially the tater tots! The bar offers good quality craft beers, with local wine and cider offerings, too. It should be noted that this brew house is no longer associated with a BBQ place next door, as it closed down. It was a peaceful rest stop for us on our travels with our dog! We recommend it for you and yours.
