Finding new and unique activities to do with your furry friends can be tough, especially when you’ve lived in a city for a long time. It’s easy to go to the same places and get stuck in the same old routine. But it can be fun to come up with some different outings for your pup. One great option that is fun for both you and your dog is hitting up a dog-friendly restaurant. Not only will you get to enjoy some tasty food, but your dog will also get to relax and bond with you while experiencing a new setting. Whether you’re a Tampa native looking for a new and interesting dog friendly activity or you’re just visiting and looking for something to do with you pup in a new city, here are some dog friendly restaurants in Tampa to check out.

Sail Pavilion on the Riverwalk

If you want to combine a workout/walk with your dog with some more relaxing dining, Sail Pavilion is the perfect option for you. This open-air, waterfront spot has everything you need for an enjoyable lunch or dinner with your dog. With 360-degree views of the water, a full bar, and tons of great food options, and more, it’s amazing for any meal. But what’s even better is what they offer for the dogs – water dishes, free doggy treats and even a menu JUST for the dogs is what you can expect when you eat at this spot.
