Featured Dog-Friendly Place
Mad Dogs & Englishmen - Tampa
Whether you're craving British pub fare or just looking for a laid-back spot to chill with your pup, Mad Dogs & Englishmen in Tampa delivers. 🐾🍻
This longtime favorite (but in a new location!) serves up a seriously dog-friendly experience with not one, but two pup-welcoming spaces: a shaded outdoor patio with cozy couches and umbrellas, and a bright, breezy sunroom that’s perfect for game day hangs (yes, there are plenty of TVs for NFL, NHL, and soccer we mean football).
The menu? Total crowd-pleaser. Think fish & chips, steak & eggs, fresh tuna tartare, and a weekend brunch worth waking up for. 🥂 Bonus points for their solid drink lineup, including craft cocktails, wine, and local brews.
From trivia nights and live music to relaxed afternoons with your dog at your feet, Mad Dogs & Englishmen makes every visit feel like a little celebration. 🎉🐶
