This seasonal beer garden is open from the beginning of May to the last Saturday of September. It offers beers on tap as well as in cans, and a selection of small (but tasty) plates and snacks that include Pulled Duck Sliders with Pilsner-Plum Sauce, Wurst of the Day, Chips & Guac, Warm Bavarian Pretzels, and BBQ Tofu Summer Rolls with Peanut Hoisin Sauce. They are super pet friendly, encouraging folks to bring their dogs to Yappy Hour. Water bowls available upon request.
Conveniently located at the corner of 24th Street and Fairmount Avenue, The Bishop's Collar features outdoor dining in the summer and plenty of free street parking all year round. Dogs are welcome at the outside tables.
Take your pick of a dozen beers on tap, one of their vast selection of whiskeys, or tipple a cocktail, like Kitten with a Whip. A small selection of bar snacks is also available: House Pickles, Marinated Olives, Old-Fashioned Drunk Nuts, Rosemary Parmesan Popcorn, and Trex Mix. Enjoy it all at one of the Trestle Inn’s fundraising Yappy Hours, or any time: There’s always a welcoming water bowl out front for your buddy. Open Wednesday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday & Saturday to 2 a.m., Happy Hour daily 5 to 8 p.m.
Johnny Brendas is a great bar with a pool table, jukebox, and water bowls for your pup! The food is inexpensive and good. All of their beer is local, and draft only.
This is a members-only off-leash park in West Philadelphia, with a waiting list and an annual fee of $115. The park is a combination of dirt and grass and also includes a doggy pool for cooling down.
This small park is lined with dirt and wood chips.
We particularly love pet-friendly UPenn because of its veterinary school, Penn Vet, which includes the Penn Vet Working Dog Center, a national research and training center for detection dogs. The expertise of the dogs trained at the center ranges from explosives detection to diabetes alert to bed bug detection to search & rescue to cancer detection. Check out their website, which allows you to meet their dogs, both alums and current dogs in training.
UPenn is located in West Philadelphia, where there is plenty for you to do with your student and your pooch, including a visit to see the Liberty Bell.
Also, if you'll be in Philly anytime from the end of April to the end of September, check out the schedule for Parks on Tap. This partnership with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation brings pop-up beer gardens to public parks all over Philadelphia. Comfy seating is provided, as well as beer on tap, wine, and snacks (you can pay by card or cash), and dogs on leash are absolutely welcome! In fact, several of beer gardens will be held at dog parks (Barks on Tap).
There are several individual dog parks that are also big on socializing. Mario Lanza Dog Park sponsors mostly Yappy Hours, where you and your pup can meet up other pet owners and their pooches over a libation. If your student is at UPenn during the summer, be sure to swing by Seger Dog Run, which sponsors Woofstock every Tuesday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., complete with live music and food trucks.
For other pet friendly eating options in Philly, we like Rouge 98 in Rittenhouse Square, with its sidewalk cafe and bistro-style menu with selections like Green Goddess Veggie Burger, Steak Frites, and oysters on the half shell. Water bowl and dog treats are available upon request.
Another favorite is farm-to-table White Dog Cafe, whose menu is built on foods produced within a 50-mile radius of the restaurant. We love their Smokey Macaroni & Cheese and Butternut Squash Ravioli topped with Rosemary Pesto.
And if you're just in the mood for a drink, nothing beats the Trestle Inn, with tons of beers on tap, an admirable collection of whiskies to choose from, a creative cocktail program, a pet friendly patio, and a welcoming bowl of water for your buddy. Eats are limited to snacks like Rosemary Parmesan Popcorn and Old Fashioned Drunk Nuts. But sometimes that's enough!
