Portland’s dog-friendly bar scene is a dream for pups and their people: backyard patios, off-leash beer gardens, and brews served with belly rubs on the side. It’s the kind of place where I sip a hazy IPA while my dog makes five new friends—no leash required.
I’ve got a craft beer in hand, my pup curled up at my feet, and fairy lights twinkling overhead—all in the heart of Portland, Oregon. Who knew going out could feel like a playdate and a pub crawl rolled into one?
Just a few minutes from downtown, Lucky Labrador Beer Hall sets the vibe with dog-loving staff, tasty brews, and plenty of space to sprawl. Over in Slabtown, Breakside Brewery welcomes four-legged companions with open arms and water bowls. And when I want the ultimate leash-free hangout, Fido’s Tap House in Tigard is part dog rescue, part bar—and all heart.
