All dogs must be on a leash, tethered to your person, and kept out of the way at all times. Please keep in mind that a busy bar environment is not always a good place for pets. We encourage you to be a considerate pet owner and use your best judgement. We strongly discourage having more than a couple of dogs inside the bar at one time.
