Featured Dog-Friendly Place
Three Birds Tavern - St Pete
If you haven’t been to Three Birds Tavern yet, you’re missing out on one of those true St. Pete locals’ spots that just feels like home. It’s tucked inside a century-old farmhouse right by the pawsome, dog-friendly Crescent Lake Park 🌳 — perfect for grabbing lunch or dinner after a stroll or a romp at one of the park’s two off-leash areas 🐾.
The owners are super friendly (they’re the same crew behind the pup-friendly Annex coffee shop ☕️ on Beach Drive). Three Birds offers multiple dog-friendly patios — covered, uncovered, and fan-cooled — with plenty of space for a casual private party or even a pup birthday bash 🎉. Come hungry because the Smash Burger 🍔 and Mushroom Guinness Gravy Burger are top-tier, as are other comfort favorites like the Shepherd’s Pie 🥧 and Black & Blue Salad 🥗.
Happy Hour runs Monday–Thursday from 3–6 🍻, and their $7 Martini Thursdays 🍸 are always a hit. It’s one of those places where both you and your pup instantly feel like regulars — even on your first visit.
