Phoenix is a haven for pet parents. And these top spots are where pet parents can go to be surrounded by fellow dog lovers and their fur babies. Phoenix’s warm weather year round means you can spend time with Fido alfresco on the patios on many different establishments. From two different breweries to one of the best dog parks in the country, check out these dog-friendly places.
Short Leash
Short Leash Hotdogs started as a food truck back in 2010 and since then the business has blossomed into two standalone locations and three food trucks. And Short Leash’s devotion to dogs is undeniable. When Phoenix residents send Short Leash a photo of their dogs, Short Leash will create a signature, unique hot dog named after your pooch.
Pro tip: If you visit Short Leash when your dog is featured, you get a free hot dog. On the back hallway of Short Leash’s Roosevelt location in downtown Phoenix, you can find photos of featured dogs.
O.H.S.O Brewery and Distillery
All three locations of craft brewery
O.H.S.O. in the Valley (with one coming soon in Gilbert) welcome dogs. Pet parents can enjoy complimentary dog biscuits and are welcome to bring their dogs as they down craft beers and signature heavy fare like burgers and pork wings on the outdoor patios here. You’re likely to spot dogs cozied up next to their owners on bar stools.
Uncle Bear’s Brewery & Grill
The Valley’s other top dog-friendly brewery?
Uncle Bear’s Brewery & Grill. Uncle Bear is named after the owner’s black lab mix who passed over a decade ago.

Customers can enjoy craft beers and other bar food like queso, steak cut cheddar fries and burgers on the patio.
