Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Truckee-Tahoe
Fifty-Fifty Brewing Company
11197 Brockway Road
Truckee, California
As their website so boldly states: Great Beer. Great Food. Great Times. We have to concur. In fact, their newly released Tahoe Series of beers claimed gold and bronze awards in the prestigious 2023 World Beer Cup® which is a global competition. It’s one of several local brewhouses that welcome dogs and beer lovers alike. The food is just as award-winning in our minds, too.

Their ‘five paws’ rating will assure you that your pups are welcome year-round. Whether you pose on the patio under an umbrella or cozy up inside their retro 1940s diner, you will always feel comfortable. The food is just as classic as its interior and exterior and worthy of a social pose and post when your feast is complete.
Alibi Ale Works – Truckee Public House
10069 Bridge Street
Truckee, California
With the largest outdoor Beer Garden in the region, it’s probably the best spot to socialize with your pup while enjoying a pint or two. There is always a new brew or two to taste in addition to their 18 (frequently rotating) Alibi beers. There’s also a refreshing selection of cider, wine, nitro coffee, kombucha and other non-alcoholic drafts. By the way, the food is super tasty and good value, too.

Love good food and music, too? Head to Moody’s Bistro Bar and Beats for a true taste of the historic Truckee’s atmosphere. During the warmer months, we love to dine outside with Rossi and Aspen by our side. In addition to an enticing menu of local farm sourced food, a water bowl for our pups is part of the menu options and is always complimentary. Be sure to savor one of their award-winning craft cocktails as you toast to our oh-so-friendly downtown restaurant entrepreneurs.
Plumpjack Inn / Café and Bar

As their website says it best, “Make Yourself at Home.” All of you. This forever local’s favorite Inn and adjacent Café and Bar is always at the top of mind for those who refuse to keep Fido at home. It’s a place where dogs love to retreat – wrapped within the jaw-dropping scenery of Olympic Valley. You will love it too.
