Take Your Dog To These Pet Friendly Restaurants & Bars on The Jersey Shore -Part 1

You get to go out on the town whenever the mood strikes. What about your pooch? Dogs need to get out of the house for more than just their daily walks.

How about taking your furry buddy to one of your favorite hangouts. It could be a favorite eatery, or perhaps a local bar or pub.

Did you know there are dozens upon dozens of places where your dog is welcome?

I think most people are familiar with Asbury Park’s Wonder Bar and their very animal inclusive Yappy Hour.

Yappy Hour is when the Wonder Bar plays host to our furry friends. With plenty of fenced-­in outdoor space, dogs can meet new friends, get some exercise, or just chill by the water bowl, while their humans do some socializing of their own.

As of July 17, 2023, The Wonder Bar’s Yappy Hour schedule is:
Monday 3 to 7 Small Dogs Only
Thursday and Friday - All Size Dogs 3 to 7 pm
Saturday and Sunday - All Size Dogs Noon to 6 pm
Starting August 2 - Small Dog Wednesday 3 to 7 pm
Follow The Wonder Bar Yappy Hour Facebook page for updates.

Even some places of business allow employees to bring their pets to work. The WRAT is one of those places. Our 7 to midnight jock, “The  Minister”, brings his baby to work almost every day.

Minister pops in during the day with his baby boy, Vader, and our staff goes wild. Especially me, I just love that pooch!

Minister makes sure to bring Vader into the studio to visit Auntie Robyn I've even had him as a special on-air guest. It just makes my day.

It’s nice to know there are plenty of pet friendly establishments on the Shore where your pet is welcome.

Let’s take a look at just a few places in Part 1 of Places on the Jersey Shore your furry family member is welcome.

Your doggie is welcome to join you at one of their three pet-friendly outdoor tables while you enjoy your meal. They even have a dog menu and pup cups!

Your 4 legged friend is welcome to join you at one of their four pet-friendly outdoor tables, get him a pup cup while you indulge your sweet tooth. Choose from a cone, a sundae, or a cup of some of the best ice cream in Toms River.
