'Tis the season for dining alfresco, and what could be better than enjoying dinner and drinks with friends? Having the option to invite our four-legged friends to the party is undoubtedly a bonus for some. These OKC hot spots will allow you to bring your pooch along, and even a few go out of their way to make man's best friend feel welcome. Before you head out for a bite, make sure your furry dining companion is up to date on required vaccinations, and don't forget the leash!
