Round of a-paws, please. Whether you’re in need of a drinking paw-tner at a local brewery, looking to stay in the lap of luxury, or hitting the trails, we’re throwing you a bone. Get ready to dig into this guide for dog-friendly spots around the City of Arts and Innovation.

Pro tip: You can use BringFido to find more dog-friendly restaurants, pet-friendly hotels and events, too.

🐾 Breweries

Tucker’s Tap Yard, 1010 N. Liberty St. | Winston-Salem’s only indoor-outdoor dog yard also has plenty of fun for pet parents, including a bar and activities like music bingo. Registration is required before bringing Fido to play.

Incendiary Brewing Company, 486 N. Patterson Ave., Ste. 105 + 5495 Williams Rd., Lewisville | The concrete downtown space is known for having small children, so make sure your dog plays well with the whole family. The Lewisville location has plenty of grass but dogs must remain leashed. Dogs wearing Incendiary bandanas at both locations might get extra treats.

🐾 Trails

Reynolda Gardens, 100 Reynolda Village Way | Dogs are welcome to roam the paved pathways, woodlands, and meadows of the Gardens everywhere except in the formal gardens. Make sure they’re leashed and ready to cover some ground — trails total over two miles.

Long Branch Trail, 401 4th St. E. | This trail is best for dogs who enjoy the hustle and bustle of downtown life. The 1.7-mile paved greenway through Innovation Quarter is surrounded by landscaping and has benches when you and your pup need to take a break.

🐾 Parks

Washington Park, 1490 S. Broad St. | Let your dog run around off-leash in separate fenced-in spaces designated for small and large dogs. Bring your lunch and watch them play. A doggie water fountain and pet waste station are also on site.
