There are many restaurants out there that don’t welcome lovable furry friends. But several places around the Pittsburgh area offer great food and pet-friendly environments. Here’s a look at some picks from the experts at Animal Friends and the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society!

A big outdoor patio area makes the popular Doublewide Grill on Pittsburgh’s South Side a pet-friendly eatery. The restaurant is also known to host special pancake breakfast fundraisers for animal welfare organizations.

The Wine Loft on Pittsburgh’s South Side is a trendy spot with “posh, soothing surroundings” and best of all – an outdoor dining area. That’s what makes it a great place to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine and a relaxing meal with both friends and furry friends!
