Going out to eat in Tulsa doesn’t mean you have to leave your four-legged friends at home. While Oklahoma law prohibits non-service animals inside of eating establishments, we found restaurants and bars all over town that allow pups on their patios.

THE CAPE BREWING CO
Jenks’ first brewery is a “family-friendly, dog-friendly, friendly-friendly place to be.” You and your pup can enjoy an outdoor concert or a movie on the lawn of The Backyard. They also host regular pet adoption events and fundraisers for area rescues and animal welfare organizations.
Founder JC Cody is so committed to helping rescue dogs that his newest fur-baby Lady, a gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog, was rescued from life as a puppy mill momma. JC says that when Lady first came home with him, she had never seen grass before and didn’t even know how to walk up stairs after years in a cage. Now Lady enjoys running around on the lawn of The Backyard with her Mastiff sister Millie. thecapebrewingcompany.com

What says “dog-friendly” more than a dog menu? Pub W, located at 61st & Yale in Tulsa, will cook up a doggie entree to go with your order of Squashpuppies. Enjoy comfy seating options outside like outdoor couches and swinging egg chairs. pubdub.com
