Jora
8.4
A polished Peruvian kitchen with a brunch-adjacent midday rhythm: come here when you want chef-driven plates and cocktails instead of the usual eggs-and-bacon loop. Best when you order like a small feast—one ceviche, one hot grill item, and a starch anchor to round it out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Ceviche mixto, Grilled octopus, Lomo saltado

8.1
A polished, cocktail-forward room that leans Mediterranean/New American, best when you order with intent and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting. The pet-friendly patio is the move when you want a nicer-feeling meal but still need the flexibility of outdoor seating with your dog.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chilled oysters, Avocado flatbread, Skirt steak
What makes it special: A brunch-capable dining room for shareables, oysters, and daytime drinks.
Worthy Picks
A casual, dog-forward bar that’s built for wings, burgers, and loud-in-a-good-way hangs. Come when you want a low-stakes meal with real late-day energy—your dog will be welcome, and the food is designed for sharing and snacking over drinks.
Must-Try Dishes:
Snow wings, Smokey wings, Burger
What makes it special: A wings-and-cocktails bar that’s explicitly dog-friendly and built for lingering.
A true outdoor-first waterfront hang where the point is open air, skyline views, and a casual grill menu that keeps the day moving. It’s best when you treat it like a daytime patio session—food as fuel, atmosphere as the headline.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hamburger, Hot dog, Fries
What makes it special: A waterfront, open-air setup that feels like a summer event space.
7.8
Vibes:
Pet Friendly Paradise
Brewery & Beer Garden Republic

Happy Hour Hotspots
A big, industrial taproom that functions like a dog-friendly living room for the neighborhood—beer first, food via pop-ups and outside orders. Best for groups who want space to spread out, keep it casual, and stay longer than planned.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beer flight, Hazy IPA pour, Seasonal sour
What makes it special: A spacious, dog-friendly taproom that pairs well with food pop-ups and takeout.
#6
L.I.C. Bar
7.7
A long-running neighborhood bar with a backyard feel and an easygoing, dog-friendly culture. It’s the kind of place you go to hang, not to chase a perfect meal—order something simple, catch live music when it’s on, and let the patio do the work.
Must-Try Dishes:
Buttermilk chicken wings, Pork carnitas nachos, Fish and chips
What makes it special: A dog-welcoming LIC institution with a backyard vibe and frequent live music.
7.7
Vibes:
Pet Friendly Paradise
Brewery & Beer Garden Republic
Group Dining Gatherings
Outdoor Dining Oasis
A neighborhood brewery built for groups, long chats, and dogs posted up beside the table—covered outdoor seating makes it especially practical. Beer is the point, and the flexible ‘bring food’ setup makes it a strong basecamp for a low-pressure night.
Must-Try Dishes:
IPA flight, Light lager pour, Seasonal draft special
What makes it special: Covered outdoor seating and a dog-welcoming culture that makes long hangs easy.
7.6
A smaller, modern Italian-leaning spot where pizza works best as a focused order rather than a sprawling feast. Keep it disciplined: one pie with a clean flavor profile and one bright side so the meal stays sharp instead of heavy.
Must-Try Dishes:
Margherita pizza, Spicy salami pizza, Arugula salad
What makes it special: Modern Italian energy with a tight, focused pizza menu.
