1. Abbey Road Pub & Restaurant
Somewhere along the line, while choosing menu items and purchasing restaurant equipment, Abbey Road Pub & Restaurant decided it wanted to be a pet-friendly establishment. Located in Virginia Beach, VA, the tavern-style restaurant is just a block from the beach and features gorgeous brick walls decked out in plenty of Beatles memorabilia. While you’re checking out Abbey Road’s assortment of beers from around the globe, you and your pooch can watch your favorite sports team on the wall of flat-screen TVs. Opened in 1982, the restaurant serves everything from shrimp and grits to Jamaican jerk chicken. Bring your pet to the covered sidewalk patio on weekends to hear live music.
2. Creekside American Bistro
You’ll find Creekside American Bistro in the beautiful, sunny Sedona, AZ. One of the city’s most popular gourmet restaurants, the restaurant offers gorgeous views of the Red Rocks while you and your furry best friend try dishes like lamb adobo, Cotija cheese, or spicy adobo with red curry.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and serves a full bar daily, complete with quirky cocktails.

Criss-cross back to the east coast and you’ll find the dog-friendly Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill in Ocean City, MD. After a long summer day at the beach, you can’t help but want to relax at this beachside restaurant. Inside, you’ll find a large space with flat-screen TVs, spacious booths, and of course, plenty of beach decor. The outdoor space is just as spacious and right on the edge of the bay. Spend the evening with your feet in the sand and your dog by your side. While you’re hanging out with friends and family, you can munch on lobster mac n’ cheese, meatloaf, and a range of other American comfort foods. Don’t forget to end the night with a frozen drink, a delicious cocktail, and a dance while the DJ spins his tunes every night.
