Dog lovers looking for adventures in the Bay Area and beyond, here are three new opportunities for you to take to the road for some R&R will pooch in tow.
The Half Moon Bay Brewing Company was just named best Dog-Friendly Restaurant and second-best Dog-Friendly Bar in the Bay Area for the second year in a row in Bay Woof’s 2013 Beast of the Bay Competition!
In honor of the occasion, they will be hosting a fundraiser for the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA called “Going to the Dogs” on the heated, dog-friendly Mavericks Beer Garden on Sunday, April 7th, from 1 – 4 p.m.
Four-legged guests will be treated to house-made Mavericks Bones and professional pet photography while their human counterparts may partake in pet adoptions provided by Peninsula Humane Society, and enjoy live music by Patrick Maier Duo along with the Brewing Company’s fresh Coastal cuisine and house-brewed beers.

Closer to home, Nick’s Cove is launching new dog-friendly outdoor oyster bar and a Pampered Pooch Package this April. Overlooking Tomales Bay, the new dog-friendly waterfront patio and outdoor oyster bar adds seating for 30 people to enjoy cocktails and oysters, just in time for spring. The adjoining, dog-friendly Nick’s Cove beach is steps from the waterfront patio, and, weather-permitting, there will be bonfires lit every night for guests to enjoy while the sun sets. The Pampered Pooch Package includes:
• overnight accommodations in a luxurious pet-friendly Waterview Cottage or Waterfront Cottage with the pet-fee waived,
• BBQ oysters (for humans) and house-made biscuits (for dogs) delivered upon arrival along with a handy map of nearby dog-friendly beaches and hikes,
