Did you know there are more than 70 Phoenix-metro eateries that accept both people and pets as patrons? No matter what part of the Valley you’re in, you can be sure to find a favorite spot for both you and your pooch.
Here are a few dog-friendly restaurants on our radar this month – best part is, all of these are locally owned and operated!
For the Hiker…

For the Wine Lover…
ROTT ‘N GRAPES
4750 N Central Ave #140
Central Phoenix neighborhood bar Rott N’ Grapes was inspired by owners Patty Gii and Keith Shank’s two greatest loves: wine & Rottweilers! The couple has rescued several Rotties over the years (their current fur babies Onyx & Dolcetta are the slobbery faces of the brand) and regularly supports HALO Animal Rescue through various fundraisers.
Not only does Rott N’ Grapes feature a dog-friendly patio, four-legged patrons are also welcome in the indoor game room, an air-conditioned space that pet lovers will flock to in the hot summer months (and to try the robust selection of more than 70 wines)!
