Dog Friendly Spotlight: Nano Brew

The water bowls placed around the patio at Nano Brew tell you immediately that this is a place where your dog will be welcomed. Although a lot of places say that they are dog friendly, few are as open about it as this Ohio City brewpub. In addition to the consideration for your dog’s hydration needs, the patio is perfectly set up to be a comfortable place to hang out with your dog and enjoy a few drinks and a bite to eat. With long picnic-style tables along the side of the building and more tables in back, the bar offers a lot of space for you and your dog.

We stuck mainly to the picnic tables on our visit but due to the sudden outpouring of rain had to move over to the covered patio area in back. The staff was very welcoming and excited to see my dog, offering treats which was enough to win him over. There was only one other dog when we got there so my dog got a lot of attention. It seemed that the bar-goers and the staff were both happy to have a dog there- always a key factor in whether a place truly is dog friendly or not. Add in the delicious food and great selection of beer, and this a place that my dog and I will definitely be back to soon.
