Pups on Patios: Crystal Lake’s Dog-Friendly Patio Tour

Are you tired of giving your four-legged best friend those heartbreaking "guilt eyes" every time you head out for a bite to eat? Good news: you don't have to leave them behind this summer!

Welcome to Pups on Patios, the ultimate summer guide to dog-friendly spaces in Crystal Lake. We are excited to share our members who welcome both you and your pup to enjoy their establishments.

Whether you’re craving a craft brew, a crisp summer salad, or just some sunshine and a patio vibe, our local member businesses are rolling out the red carpet (and the water bowls) for you and your furry co-pilot.

Pups can enjoy a complimentary treat courtesy of Thomas' Tails.
