Do you dread having to leave your furry, four-legged friend all alone at home when you venture out for a drink or bite to eat?  Here are our top five picks for dog friendly restaurants in NJ to go to where your pet is just as welcome as you are!

1. Northern Soul

Bring along your tail wagging friend to Northern Soul for a drink at what Bring Fido calls ‘the most dog-friendly bar in Hoboken’. Your pup is allowed inside the bar – until it gets too crowded, which is a safety precaution for both the human and dog guests!

Address: 557 First Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030

Phone: (201) 963-9122

2. Carpe Diem

Who’s hungry for some wings, burgers or steak? We bet you and your canine friend are! Weather permitting, pet-owners can bring their dog to Carpe Diem and sit at one of the outdoor tables. We’ll look the other way if you happen to drop a piece of your steak for fido; after all, he’s hungry too!

Address: 1405 Grand Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030

Phone: (201) 792-0050

3. Frosty Pooch

While there’s no storefront to visit, this food truck is too cute not to include. Check out, Frosty Pooch, an ice cream truck, for dogs! This puppy-themed truck provides dog-approved ice cream, bones, cookies, water and Frisbees. Typically you’ll find this truck driving around Hoboken in the warmer months. The owners also post updates to their Facebook page daily to let you know exactly where they’ll be that day.

Not in the mood to cook? No problem! Bring your dog to 9^th & Coles Tavern for a tasty treat.

According to a review left on ‘Bring Fido’, Amy from Jersey City was able to order grilled chicken for her dogs for just $4.
