1. The Counter House

Located at 35 Blossom Street, this restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they proudly serve delicious comfort food. It is a cozy place, and you feel like you are a part of the community at the Counter House. This area is full of dog lovers, and it is not a surprise that they allow dogs in the restaurant, however, there is an entry fee, a photograph of your dog, which I’m certain every dog parent is willing to pay.

2. Alberts Schloss

There are actually two restaurants, one in Birmingham and one in Manchester. This place specializes in rustic mountain feasts, as the owners went to Swiss Alpes, Germany, Austria, and France to create the menu, therefore, you can also expect a specialty of each country to be served here. The ambiance of this restaurant is very lively, as this place often has music performances and people partying. This place welcomes all small dogs, and the staff is more than happy to see your pooch.

3. Cottonopolis

This place is for the working class, who just want to unwind after a long work week. You can grab one of their lovely drinks while petting your dog for an almost therapy-like session in this Japanese-inspired bar and restaurant. They have traditional high stools, and it is always heart-melting to see small dogs relaxing on one of those. While they offer tasty food, I’d highly recommend visiting this place for the beers, as they are marvelous.

It allows dogs, and you can have your beloved fur child sit by you, as you indulge in their delicious food, and refreshing pilsner.

A wonderful place that is cozy and relaxed. Offerings here are traditional as well, and when you visit this tavern, make sure you have some time on your hand because you wouldn’t want to leave.

This place is best suited for your typical merrymaker, as they offer pizza, nachos, and drinks, a lot of drinks.
