doggy happy hourWant to enjoy an OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA VA Happy Hour without worrying about little Spike at home, whom you know has been patiently waiting for you all day?  Then take Spike with you! He'll feel right at home at any of the following places:

The Hotel Monaco Alexandria in OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA  typically hosts a leash cutting ceremony in mid April to  signal the beginning of its Doggie Happy Hour season. Dogs and their human companions enjoy treats in the hotel courtyard every Tuesday and Thursday from 5 until 8 until October.

Pat Troy's Ireland's Own (across the street from Hotel Monaco) shares its patio with dogs, with a happy hour every day from 4 to 7, with half off specials on appetizers and drinks.  There's even a doggy dinner menu - $3.95 for chopped chicken or burger, lamb or beef stew, served with a bone on the side.

Feeling like Fido deserves a special treat?  Then take a 40-minute Alexandria Seaport Canine Cruise with Potomac Riverboat Company.

What a cool thing for them to do. We have several restaurants that have dog-friendly patios too.

Susan.  That is awesome.  Just don't mix up the doggie treates with the people treats.

But whatever you do, don’t get your dog drunk! My brother did that to our dog when we were in college, and it wasn’t nice.

Jane:  Me, too!  Those faces are simply irresistable.  One of our neighbors has a beautiful brindle bull dog and he just cracks me up every time I see him.  So cute.

Larry & Sheila:  Exactly!

Susan - I love this idea....Dog Friendly Happy Hour!!!  I wish some of our pubs would do this.  Unfortunatly, there's not alot of outside dining in our area.....but, there is some....may need to suggest this to a few restaurant owners.  Have a great weekend!
