Featured Dog-Friendly Place
Outcast Brewing - St. Pete
Cold brews + cool A/C = happy pups + humans. If you’re searching for a brewery where your pup doesn’t have to sweat it out on the patio, Outcast Brewing in St. Pete delivers. Dogs are welcome inside across five unique rooms, each with its own personality—from a glowing LED-lit taproom with views of the brewing process to a sports bar-style lounge with a massive projector, and even chic, cozy seating areas perfect for a laid-back sip. Outside, there’s just as much room to roam with two patios, fans to keep things breezy, a stage for live music, and plenty of space for gatherings big or small.
On tap, you’ll find rotating ales, sours, ciders, and house-brewed beers, alongside a thoughtful wine and cocktail list. Food trucks roll through almost daily, serving everything from tacos and tamales to lobster rolls.
But what makes this spot really pup-tacular? Outcast regularly hosts dog meetups, adoption events, and other fur-friendly gatherings in the backyard—making it a place where your dog can make just as many new friends as you.
