Looking for a way to unwind with a cold drink and your four-legged best friend? The Triad—home to Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point—is packed with pet-friendly breweries and patios that welcome pups with open arms (and water bowls).


Whether you're grabbing a casual drink after the dog park or planning a fall evening out with friends and fur-babies, here are the best dog-friendly spots to check out across the Triad.
