Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in DUMBO

The Barking Dog Restaurant is hands down one of the best spots in the theater district, especially if you're a dog lover! The story behind this place is heartwarming—an owner from Europe came to the U.S. nearly thirty years ago with a dream to create a cozy neighborhood spot where both people and their pups could feel right at home. Inspired by NYC's lively vibe, The Barking Dog was born, and it’s been a hit ever since! Right from the start, Lucy, the general manager, made us feel super welcome. Dennis, our waiter, was amazing and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. We kicked things off with some tasty guacamole and chips, and then moved on to the Friendly Burger and jumbo wings. Everything was beyond delicious! The outdoor patio is perfect, and the fact that dogs are not just allowed but have their own menu is a huge plus. We saw many furry friends spoiled with treats from the friendly staff, making the experience even more special. We’re coming back on a weekend to try their brunch. Thinking fluffy pancakes, waffles, and mimosas! All this in a dog-friendly setting—what more could you ask for? Overall, The Barking Dog is a fantastic spot where you and your pup can enjoy great food in a laid-back atmosphere. We had a blast and can’t wait to come back!
