The Boozy Mutt also offers weekend brunch service featuring menu items such as fried chicken and "woofles", sourdough french toast and a variety of omelets.
Additionally, the drink menu includes beverages from several local brewers, seasonal wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic options.

Pups can feast on a variety of tail-wagging selections including coconut chicken, a pumpkin and egg white quiche and a housemade biscuits platter that features peanut butter, carrot ginger, coconut rice and pumpkin.
“While dogs are our inspiration, you don’t need a dog to visit the Boozy Mutt,” Allison said in a news release. “The idea of inclusivity is what prompted the name. We are so excited to share this amazing experience with all dog lovers – whether you own a dog or not. Plus, watching the dogs play is an incredibly fun and therapeutic experience.”
Human customers are free but must be 21 and older to enter. If you are interested in bringing your dog there are several membership options including daily, monthly and annual passes.
Dogs must be registered with all up-to-date vaccinations through the Boozy Mutt website.
“Safety will always be our top priority,” Sam said. “Enforcing rules similar to most doggy daycare businesses is necessary because we have to be prepared for anything.”
To ensure the safety of all dogs and guests, the Boozy Mutt team includes trained and dog-CPR certified "Rufferees"
