Let the Dogs Out: 7 Bars Where You Can Drink With Rover in Brooklyn

Brooklyn is as well known for dog-obsessed denizens as it is for co-op grocery stores, so it makes sense that the bars in the borough are willing to go the extra mile for a pet. Whether for fresh bowls of water or free treats for four-legged visitors, here are six bars with a paw of approval. 

 

Luckydog: With a name like this, it shouldn't be too surprising that this spot is paws up for Fido. With a great patio, jukebox and happy hour specials (thnk $3 wells and $2 PBR), there's plenty for the owners to enjoy too (303 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn).

 

The Gate: After a stroll through Prospect Park, both puppy and owner can wet their mouths at this tavern (321 5th Ave., Brooklyn; 718-768-4329).

 

Bar Great Harry: With 20 beers on draft, one on cask and as many in bottles, this is a spot to spend a day combining gentle drinking and gentle pet-sitting (280 Smith St., Brooklyn; 718-222-1103).

 

Pencil Factory: This Greenpoint hotspot offers all the faux-dive atmosphere you could ever want — with real paws thrown in! Plus, the outdoor area is a great place to meet (attractive) fellow dog lovers (142 Franklin St., Brooklyn; 718-609-5858).

 

Mission Dolores: Pups are allowed in some of the outdoor areas in this indoor-outdoor space, which is known for its games and great beer list (249 4th Ave., Brooklyn; 347-457-5606).

 

Oak & Iron: This Greenpoint dive offers all the standards: jukebox, happy hours, a draft beer selection with lots of tasty treats to choose from and comfy booths. Servers will also fetch a bowl for your furry friend (147 Franklin St., Brooklyn; 718-349-2252).

 

LIC Bar: With a patio out back, there's room for your pup to roam while you work hard on your beer (4558 Vernon Blvd., Brooklyn; 718-786-5400).
