Important Reminders: Drink Responsibly & Prioritize Your Pup's Safety

While a Pup Crawl is all about fun, it's important to drink responsibly and prioritize your dog's safety and comfort.

Tips for a Safe & Fun Pup Crawl:

• Know your pup's limits – If they get overwhelmed by crowds, visit during quieter hours.

• Hydration is key! Bring a collapsible water bowl for your pup.

• Be mindful of other patrons: Not everyone is a dog person (wild, right?). Keep your pup on a leash and respect personal space.

• Pace yourself. If you're planning to hit multiple stops, sip responsibly and never let alcohol affect your ability to care for your dog.

• Plan your ride home. If you're drinking, call a rideshare or have a designated driver.

This St. Patrick's Day, raise a pint with your best furry friend at some of DTLA's best dog-friendly bars and breweries. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a fun way to include your pup in the celebration, this Pup Crawl is the ultimate way to spend St. Paw-trick's Day in LA.
