BarFriendly, the First Restaurants for Dogs

The time when you heard even on many terraces, “Sir, you can’t be here with your dog” has ended. Today there are more restaurants and bars that welcome PetFriendly; it has come to be known as BarFriendly.

They are restaurants and bars that allow you to come in with your pet, some not just only on the terrace, but also inside. We are going to tell you about it.

BarFriendly: the first restaurants for dogs

They say that the first restaurant for dogs appeared in Belgium, but it was more than just a place where you could go with your dog. It was a restaurant where your pet could eat.

This bar’s specialty is a beer that tastes like bones for the reasonable price of three euros. The idea came about because the owner, an animal lover, realized that owners went out to walk their pets, and when they wanted to stop to have a drink because they were tired, the animals were not allowed anywhere.

It occurred to him to open a place with right of admission: only dogs. Inside, both owners and pets can stop, sit down, and have a snack calmly while they recover from their walk or simply for enjoyment.

Soon other restaurants and bars followed suit. Even though they were establishments for people, they allowed entry to dogs not only on the terraces, but some even inside the establishment.

In fact, in Marbella, Spain, there is a place called Mama’s Bakery that allows dogs to enter. So much so that it has become a place full of dogs with their owners. And they are as welcome as the owners are. The first thing that they will do when they see you come in with your pet is bring a bowl of water for the animal.
