Restaurants

Since MUTTS closed, here are eight other dog-friendly Fort Worth restaurants

After MUTTS Canine Cantina announced its closure this week, dog owners need to find a new place to take their pup.

MUTTS was a unique concept of a dog park with a full bar and restaurant. All three locations in Dallas-Fort Worth closed, including one in Clearfork.

While there are not any other dog parks with full bars and restaurants attached, there are plenty of restaurants in Fort Worth that offer dog-friendly patios.

Here’s where.
