I want to make a restaurant where you can bring your dog inside.

5/22/2011 11:46:40 AM

the PR and Village Draft house are cool with it

5/22/2011 11:48:19 AM

^^ You used to be allowed to do that in NC if the owner was cool with it but our health department is run by a bunch of Nazis. I hear that some restaurants just ignore the new rules though, especially out in Asheville.

^ Does Sadlack's allow dogs too? I forget.

yep, Sadlack's is dog friendly.

5/22/2011 11:56:14 AM

Yeah, I mean fuck people's allergies and the fact that people don't want your dog's shedding everywhere and getting into food and shit.

5/22/2011 11:56:58 AM

CAN I BRING MY CAT?

WHY NOT?

SHE WILL EVEN WEAR A FANCY DRESS

5/22/2011 12:01:58 PM

The Borough is super dog friendly.

By dog friendly, we mean a place where we can sit outside with our well behaved dog and enjoy our food/drinks.

Thanks for playing, bruh.

This, like most stupid things people want laws against, comes back to simple adult free will and responsibility. If you have allergies or don't want to deal with dog fur, then don't go to restaurants that allow dogs. Amazing how simple that is.

5/22/2011 12:26:46 PM

Sammy's is cool with dogs.

Fullsteam you can bring your dog indoors, they're generally better behaved than the multitudes of rugrats people let run around unattended.

5/22/2011 12:55:04 PM

Most any panera...I recall a greyhound meetup at one of the Cary ones iirc
Piola (took brina last Sunday)
Village draft house
Village deli
Moe's at CV and North Hills

Nothing says fine dining more than a dog licking your plate or taking a shit right in front of your table

Food is amazing there. Everything is $10 or less on the menu. My favorites are the "which came first" salad (add blue cheese and avocado with balsamic dressing), the Mac and Cheese, the crab dip, the quesadillas, the black bean burger, and the spinach dip. The seasonal potato soup is great too.

5/22/2011 2:01:55 PM

Mmm might have to venture over there next weekend. Just got done eating lunch with my pup at PR

As long as your cat is well behaved in public I don't see why not

5/22/2011 2:18:42 PM

I'd be down to go with you. I love their food. And Liz the owner is super nice. She always stops by to say hi to me whenever I am there.

5/22/2011 2:21:49 PM

I drive by it all the time but have yet to venture in. If I don't go out of town for Memorial Day I'll let you know!

So that means everyone should post answers that you agree with? I'm sorry if you disagree with my opinion, but the fact that dogs shed, leave dander in the air that irritates other people's sinuses is reason enough to ban them from being inside restaurants. Not to mention one owner's definition of "well-behaved" typically doesn't coincide with other people's definition of "well-behaved," meaning that if you have a friendly dog who loves to go around saying hello to everyone, people are likely to get annoyed at that as they really want your dog to leave them alone...

How will patrons know if a restaurant allows dogs or doesn't allow dogs inside of its establishment

Second, the sanitation of allowing dogs inside of a restaurant is a concern. Do you own a dog? If so, how much luck do you have at keeping your dog hair free? I'll bet you aren't very successful no matter how much you try. Now you want restaurants to allow dogs into their restaurants where sanitation is important? Sorry, it's not going to happen. Nobody enjoys chowing down on some marinated hairballs.

It's amazing how people think they are entitled to be assholes and infringe on other people's enjoyment...

How about we allow nudity, smoking and pets in restaurants so nobody enjoys anything? The nudist who hates dogs can be pissed off while he pisses off the smoker who hates fat ugly naked men while the smoker pisses the pet owner off... After all, free will and all that other bullshit people like to refer to because they think they should be entitled to infringe on other people's enjoyment...

5/22/2011 5:23:23 PM

Successful troll is successful

Your entire post focuses on dogs being allowed inside restaurants

wolfpackgirl said "Please to list restaurants/cafes/etc you know are down with polite dogs in their outdoor dining areas. "

are dogs actually allowed inside restaurants (legally, outside of the obvious, seeing eye dogs)?

5/22/2011 6:29:29 PM

^ Legally they're not allowed inside restaurants though some owners ignore the law.

I would have been fine with wolfpackgrrr's statement had it not been for the "Nazi" comment. There is actual reasoning behind it, not just "RAWR RAWR RAWR NO DOGS."

5/22/2011 7:29:28 PM

Naw, the Nazi comment has to do more with them being anal retentive about all sorts of shit. Anyone who has worked in a restaurant in this area can tell you how ridiculous they can be at times.

5/22/2011 7:31:16 PM

be careful bringing your animals to ruckus. some regulars bring dogs they like to leave off-leash who are slightly insane.

5/22/2011 7:31:57 PM

^ Good to know!

Actually, now that you say that, I was there the other week and a guy had his lab off-leash. He went inside to get another beer and his dog just up and left the restaurant

"Wat? Try following the conversation before you start labeling people trolls..."

The original post/conversation (outside of Sorostitute's comment) is about dogs being allowed in outside seating areas of restaurants, not inside.

But if you wanna troll this conversation into being about dogs being inside restaurants have your fun (despite the fact that this is a lounge thread, and not chit chat, where you normally troll)

5/22/2011 7:42:45 PM

You obviously don't know what a troll is. She made a comment about the health department being a bunch of Nazis. I made a blunt comment calling her out on her lack of understanding about the health code... How you're construing that to be trolling is beyond my understanding, but then again, you are synapse...

But you obviously have no intention to contribute to any discussion, which is the norm for you, so I will just ignore from this point on.

irregardless is down with dogs. a couple brought their pup last time i was there and the waiter even brought out some water in a fancy shmancy bowl.

Are services dogs allowed into no dog places? I have a friend that's getting a service dog form PTSD and was wondering about that.

5/23/2011 8:39:53 AM

As long as the service dog is wearing their vest, the dog is allowed anywhere their owner is, including restaurants.

5/23/2011 8:47:31 AM

yeah that's the law i think.

5/23/2011 9:01:19 AM

the waitresses @ Sammy's bring out a bowl of water for my dog everytime I take him there, then they spend quite a bit of time petting him and such. Its fun.


Dogs rule, cats drool.

Pretty much this.

For the record... I don't really have a big problem with dogs outside. I just think it's funny how the kind of dog owners that absolutely must take their dog to a restaurant pretend like there's never been a dog acting up in a restaurant.

^Then they serve merbig's meal without washing their hands first.

i bring my dog to restaurants and let her nurse her puppies.

5/23/2011 9:22:21 AM

^^ I think there's a fine line. I have definitely seen dogs that act like little assholes in public. But there are plenty of people who work hard on training their dogs to be well-behaved. We've gotten our dog to the point that she will just take a nap under a chair if we take her out with us.

5/23/2011 9:44:28 AM

To me a well behaved down (in public) is one that doesn't poop/pee where it shouldn't, doesn't bark and doesn't bother other people (unless they solicit it). If you can bring a dog to a restaurant (for outdoor seating) and they behave as such there shouldn't be an issue.

I've found that bars that allow dogs inside are pretty cool and fun places to go b/c usually they have a bit of a reputation for allowing as much and thus the people that are there don't mind being around animals. Of course this is only legal at bars that do not serve food and off the top of my head I don't think there are any establishments like this in Raleigh.

Sitti and Gravy allow dogs at their tables out front. As for employees petting dogs it is slightly disturbing as most dont wash their hands after doing it.
