Where your dog is Welcome & UNwelcome in Streeterville (no guarantees, YMMV, just based on my experience)
NOTE that unless specified, none of these places allow dogs inside . . .
|
WELCOME |
UNWELCOME |
| Starbucks
on Chestnut west of Michigan Ave.
Guinness was welcome to sit outside with me as I enjoyed an iced mocha. They even gave me water for her! |
Flat
Sammies on Pearson East of Michigan
At one time they offered dog treats and a water dish for neighborhood dogs, but it was all a come-on. I sat down outside with Crockett and was told to leave. (I had purchased a lemonade.) I was told that the city of Chicago threatened to revoke their license if they let dogs sit outside. |
| Ghiradellis
on Pearson west of Michigan Ave.
This place is so busy they will never know if you are sitting outside with your puppy. I just picked a table away from the door to enjoy my sundae. |
Bubba
Gump's Shrimp on Navy Pier
What were they thinking? There must have been 40 empty tables but Crockett & friend were not welcome . . . |
| Dillon's
Custard Shop on State Parkway almost across from Barnes & Noble
Let's just say that anyone cool enough to name their wonderful custard place after their gorgeous retriever is not going to fuss if you step inside with your four-footed buddy while you place an order. It is seasonal, so get your custard while it is hot! |
Tempo Chestnut
at State
What a shame that dogs are not allowed because I would love to be a regular for breakfast! |
