There’s something about beers and dogs that just seems to go well together. Fortunately Salt Lake City’s growing craft brewing scene agrees and several breweries have dog friendly patios! Pair it with the Salt Lake City Brewery Mobile Pass to save some money while enjoying a pint with your pup.
Breweries have a reputation for being a place to chill out with friends, so ensure your dog is ready for that type of environment by practicing down/stay commands in busy places. Several local breweries have pads for your pup to lay on, but consider bringing a familiar spot to place on if your dog has trouble getting settled.
