Located on the “prettiest street in Minneapolis”, Aster Café overlooks the city skyline and the Mighty Mississippi river while offering a wide range of handcrafted cocktails on their dog-friendly European patio. With bites such as Mediterranean lamb flatbread, brisket tacos, and a Thai-based street noodle bowl, this local spot is bound meet all your expectations! Stop in during happy hour Tuesday-Thursday and Sundays from 4-6 PM. 

Stray Dog

No dog is a stray at this family-owned spot offering a wide variety of bites made for everyone. Are you vegetarian? Vegan? Need gluten-free or dairy-free customizations? You’re covered! At this dog-friendly restaurant, you might have trouble choosing just one entrée. From a PB and J slider to veggie nachos to a breakfast pizza offered only during brunch, this might become your new favorite spot. 

Hai Hai

Multiple award-winning Hai Hai offers a Southeast Asian Street food menu in Northeast Minneapolis.

At Invisible Fence Brand, we believe pets are family. Which means they should be able to experience the world with us! That’s possible when visiting spots like these, but that’s not always the case. You might be itching for a lazy day at home without pet entertainment on the agenda. Or you might be meeting up with friends somewhere that isn’t dog friendly. With systems like ours, you can allow your pet to roam freely while you’re away. Explore our solutions to learn how you can customize your home to be just as fun for them!
