Bars and Such
For the human wanting spirits, there are dog-friendly places like Buzzard Billies, Dancing Bear Pub, Balcones Distilling, and the Wine Shoppe. As well as, Bare Arms Brewing’s tap room. But The Backyard might be the best Waco dog-friendly bar because their outside area is a backyard.
Other great Waco dog-friendly places to take your furry friend for some socializing includes Farmer’s Market, but speaking from experience, they don’t like yappers. My weenie dogs are vocal.
Also, dog-friendly is Cameron Park, the H.O.T. Dog park (duh!), the food truck area’s in Waco, Baylor, and Magnolia Market (keep the dogs off the turf).
Dogs love being with their people and being out and about is great for socializing dogs. Remember to have a leash, be poop-friendly, and only bring non-aggressive pups in areas shared with other humans.
