San Diego is a paradise for pets. After spending the day with your furry friend at dog beaches along the coast or hiking some pet-friendly trails, you and your pup may be in need of a tail-wagging treat. Here are some prime, pet-friendly patios/restaurants where you can dine with your pup in San Diego County.
Park 101- Carlsbad
Carlsbad's take on community dining has something for everyone, including our four-legged friends. Park 101 is located in the heart of Carlsbad Village and offers a hip atmosphere filled with music and entertainment.
The multi-level, plaza-style complex features an AstroTurf-lined patio where pups can run around or kick back and relax at picnic tables. The community fire pit will certainly leave you wanting *s'more*.
