Dog Unfriendly

I was walking around downtown Portland yesterday and was hoping for a place to sit outdoors and have a beer and something to eat. I had my 6# dog with me. I’ve been to Thirsty Pig before but not with my dog. I enjoy their vegan sausage as well as the beer choices. There was no signage regarding dogs so I walked in the front door, carrying Einie, and a woman quickly came towards me. I asked about food , beer and having my dog there and she directed me to go outside, down the alley and come in the back where dogs are allowed on the tarred area. Ok. We did as directed. There was no signage. No direction as to: how do we order food, drink, anything? There was 1 q code on 1 table so I scanned it. It directed me to the menu and said it would be a 20-25 minute wait. There were no customers inside and only 2 tables occupied outside. There were bowls of dirty water at each table for the dogs, no service, no help. I know …COVID…..we’ve all heard it, we get it. But, NO service? I felt unwelcome. I won’t be back.
