Cats may have nine lives, but dogs only have one.
It’s time to grab the leash and bring your dog along for your adventures.
Tulsa has a variety of breweries, parks and restaurant patios ready to accommodate even the furriest of family members. The Flyer rounded up nine options for a day out with your dog.
Parks
Biscuit Acres Dog Park
5804 E. 91st St., Tulsa
5 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesdays to Sundays
Ditch the leash and let your pup loose at Biscuit Acres. The fenced-in area is complete with dog water fountains and kiddie pools that can be filled up for the dogs to splash, play and cool off. There are also benches and shaded areas for yourself and your dog.
If you’re looking to bring the whole family, the park is located inside Hunter Park, which has fishing, disc golf, a splash pad and playground.
Joe Station Dog Park
2279 Charles Page Blvd., Tulsa
10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mondays; 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays
Formally a baseball field, Joe Station Dog Park is a spacious fenced-in park for dogs to explore off-leash. There are two separate areas for small and large dogs. Benches and shaded areas are spread across the lawn.
After the sun sets, the park is brightly lit, allowing it to stay open later.
Route 66 Dog Park at Gunboat North Park
1122 S. Frankfort Ave., Tulsa
5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily
This small dog park is tucked away in the southeast corner of downtown. There is ample shade and a nice view of Tulsa’s skyline that includes a fun doggy mural celebrating Gunboat Park.
Gathering Place
2650 S. John Williams Way, Tulsa
7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays
Sixty-six acres of family-friendly fun turns dog-friendly on Dog Play Days at the Gathering Place. On Sundays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, let your dog explore the pathways surrounding the sports courts, ponds and playground.
Dogs must be leashed at all times and owners must pick up any waste and dispose of it properly. To learn more about the dog policy at the Gathering Place, click here.
Tulsa-area parks and trails
Dogs must be on a leash in all city and county parks unless in a designated off-leash area. The same goes for Tulsa River Parks, Turkey Mountain and all other trails.
Breweries and bars
Tails & Ales
1903 S. Boston Ave., Tulsa
3 to 10 p.m. Mondays to Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursdays to Sundays
In need of a drink on your doggie-day out? Head to Tails & Ales and pick out a craft beer or coffee while your dog stretches their legs. If your dog is on their best behavior, stop at the pet store and reward them with a treat or new toy.
For the first visit to Tails & Ales, animal vaccine records are required. DHPP, rabies and Bordetella shots must be included. Day passes are $10 for dogs.
Fetch Social Club
728 S. Wheeling Ave., Tulsa
7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays
If you’re in need of a break from your high-energy dog, Fetch Social Club has professionally-trained staff to monitor your dog while you enjoy a cold drink.
Dogs with proof of the rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis and Bordetella vaccinations can enjoy the indoor and outdoor park. Day passes are available for $10 on weekdays and $12 on weekends.
Sit at the bar, grab some food and trust that your dog will be ready for a nap when the day’s over.
Cabin Boys Brewery
1717 E. 7th St., Tulsa
4 to 9 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays; Noon-11 p.m. Thursdays to Fridays; Noon to 7 p.m. Sundays
Indoor or outdoors, your dog is welcome at Cabin Boys Brewery. The family-friendly and dog-friendly taproom has a variety of games including cornhole, darts, foosball and more.
Grab your friends, family and furry friends to enjoy a night out complete with beers crafted in Oklahoma.
Restaurant and patios
Most restaurants and bars that feature a patio are also dog-friendly, but it’s best to check in with the eatery to make sure before you bring your pup on a leash to join you.
Elote Cafe and Catering
514 S. Boston Ave., Tulsa
11 a.m.-9 p.m. Mondays to Tuesdays; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesdays to Saturdays; closed on Sundays
Elote Cafe is one of the only Tulsa restaurants with a dish made specifically for your dog. The patio is dog-friendly and you can order your dog a “doggie bowl” to receive a mix of chicken and rice on a frisbee for $4.99.
It’s the perfect place to grab a snack before heading to the dog park to play catch with your dog’s new frisbee.
