One restaurant is opening its patio doors to four-legged guests with wagging tails giving diners the chance to enjoy a meal with their canine companions.

Beertown Public House has created a specially designed dog menu and non-alcoholic, dog-safe, beer for pups to enjoy this summer season.

This initiative is part of Beertown’s ongoing commitment to creating inclusive, welcoming spaces for all. “Beertown is about bringing people together, and that includes the furry members of the family,” said John Mackay, president of Beertown Public House. “Our dog-friendly patio and specially crafted menu make it easy for guests and their pups to relax, enjoy great food and share the best moments of the season together.”

The menu dubbed ‘Bone Appetit,’ offers ‘Pup-Tizers’ and ‘Patio Bites’ plus a variety of simple dishes. “Whether it’s a juicy grilled chicken breast or a crisp side of carrots and celery, there’s something to make every tail wag,” continued Mackay.

Pups can wash down their meal with ‘The Barking Brew,’ an alcohol-free, dog-friendly beer crafted from locally farmed Canadian Angus beef bones. Designed to support gut health, enhance digestion, strengthen joints and detoxify the liver.

The Bone Appetit dog menu is available at all Beertown locations across the region. To find your local Beertown Public House in Simcoe County, click here.

“It’s a simple, clean menu made with real ingredients and designed to give your pup the full Beertown experience,” said Mackay.

Guests are asked to keep their dogs leashed at all times and to follow the dog-friendly patio rules posted at each restaurant.
