Farm Bar Lakeview

The All-American Farm Bar Lakeview is an homage to Midwestern farm-fresh food—and dogs. The renowned Brown Dog Farm in Western Wisconsin provides much of the produce for the Farm Bar and fuels the owners’ affection for canines. That’s why dogs are allowed to join their humans on the patio for dinner and cocktails.

The chefs serve up delicious burgers, salads, and more farm-to-table selections. They offer a variety of craft beers, ciders, cocktails, and tap wines. Happy Hour is from 4-6, and kids eat free.

Come for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and relax with your pooch in a spacious, enclosed patio at 1300 W Wellington Ave, Chicago.

Bucktown Pub

The Bucktown Pub on 1658 W Cortland St is one of the dog bars in Chicago that is dog-friendly inside and out. One of Chicago’s oldest hidden gems, Bucktown Pub has been in business since 1932.

Munch on delicious free popcorn and enjoy a casual, relaxed experience. Your drink selections include draft beer, craft cocktails, inexpensive whiskeys, and canned beers. “Dogs drink free” with water bowls provided for thirsty pups.

Bucktown sponsors weekly events like Trivia and Karaoke, and they will help you host your own private dog-friendly event as well.
