In June 2025, CTV News covered an exciting development in Ontario’s pet-friendly dining scene: Beertown Public House introduced their “Bone Appetit” menu, featuring The Barking Brew as the signature beverage for four-legged guests.
A Menu Designed for Dogs
Beertown’s innovative approach to inclusive dining extends beyond human guests. Their specially crafted dog menu includes:
Pup-Tizers & Patio Bites:
- Grilled chicken breast (cooked or raw upon request)
- Ground beef and turkey patties (unseasoned)
- Carrots and celery sticks
- Unseasoned brown rice
The Barking Brew on Tap:
Dogs can wash down their meals with our alcohol-free Beef Hound Ale, crafted from locally farmed Canadian Angus beef bones. This nutrient-rich beverage supports gut health, enhances digestion, strengthens joints, and helps detoxify the liver.
Creating Inclusive Spaces
“Beertown is about bringing people together, and that includes the furry members of the family,” said John Mackay, President of Beertown Public House. “Our dog-friendly patio and specially crafted menu make it easy for guests and their pups to relax, enjoy great food and share the best moments of the season together”.
Petiquette Guidelines
To ensure all patio guests have an enjoyable experience, Beertown maintains clear guidelines: dogs must remain leashed, well-behaved, and are served in special dishes on the ground rather than on table surfaces.
Available Across Multiple Locations
The Bone Appetit menu is now available at all Beertown Public House locations across Ontario, making it easier than ever to include your canine companion in your dining plans.
