Check out Pendulum for lunch and leave with a doggie bag, for you and your pup! Look in the freezer section for their prepackaged “beef pet food,” your pet will thank you later!

Don’t we dream of sitting outside and cracking a cold one with our dog? Well now you actually can! The Birch Bar, hidden gem turned eminent, offers beer for you and your canine! Order two brews, a charcuterie board and you’ll have yourself a dog day!
Our city fully embraces the dog obsessed generation and we encourage you to bring your pup next time you visit! Pet friendly patios at our breweries and restaurants, dog friendly beaches and over 10 miles of trails; Norfolk’s a doggy’s vacation paradise!
