For those who love dogs and everyone who loves happy hour, the two have collided at Jackson 20, a restaurant within the Monaco hotel on King Street. Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 5PM to 8PM dogs can come for a drink of water and a biscuit while their owners chat, drink, socialize and watch a lot of tail wagging. The evening we were there, 9 or so dogs in a wide range of breeds behaved extremely well on the back patio as their owners mingled over champagne and Miller Light.
Entrance for the happy hour is through an archway on North Royal Street to the back patio. I didn’t try the dog biscuits but the dogs seemed to love them. For two legged types there is a menu of course.
Above, Slash gets a biscuit and this lovely lab is taking the whole evening in stride.
Things to remember:
- Dogs must be on a leash
- Please walk them before arriving so that nothing uncomfortable happens
- No paws on tables and chairs
- Dogs can be kicked out for fighting, biting, and pooping
If you ask me, these rules should apply to their masters as well!
