Old Bisbee Brewing Company in Bisbee
Dogs are welcome inside and out at Old Bisbee Brewing Company, located in the artsy and eclectic Southern Arizona mountain town of Bisbee. Make your way to "Brewery Gulch," a favorite haunt filled with watering holes during the town’s mining heyday (and today). Chatty, friendly locals snack on sausages and sip cold craft beer at Old Bisbee Brewing Company, with four-legged friends taking their pick from water bowls placed throughout the brewery.
Creekside American Bistro in Sedona
Since 2008, Creekside American Bistro in Sedona has been serving all-American cuisine human and canine patrons alike. On the outdoor patio, dogs lounge on colorful and cozy blankets, gulp filtered water and take in the view of Sedona's famed red rocks. The gourmet dog menu includes items such as steak tartare, venison stew and cheddar omelets served with chicken. No expense is spared for Fido, and Chef Mercer Mohr (an animal lover and proud dog parent to Roxanne, a 16-year old white American Eskimo) makes sure discerning dog customers are satisfied. He lists his personal phone number and asks that patrons send him a text if their dogs are not receiving VIP treatment.
