Dog Friendly Restaurants in Jack London Square in Oakland, CA

I've been researching dog friendly restaurants at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA. Each time I look, one more pops up!

Bocanova

We haven't been here yet. I asked if they are dog friendly when I was at the farmer's market yesterday and they said, "YES!" There is a large outdoor patio where you can sit outside and face the water. It is a Pan American Grill.

Plank

This place has a really large outdoor area, with an area for lawn bowling and bocce ball. It gets really busy on the weekends and they do not take reservations. Our dog enjoyed this place, but it wasn't really busy the day we visited, we've been there once. The outdoor area is a beer garden, with many humans drinking. Our dog wanted a beer, but we said, "NO!"

Forge

I love Forge, with the large patio and fire pits. We've been there once.

Dog Friendly farmers market at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA- Sundays, 9AM-2PM (rain or shine)

We went to Jack London Square yesterday without our dog, to visit the farmer's market. I felt so guilty as there were so many dogs! The farmer's market is every Sunday from 9AM to 2PM, rain or shine. Dogs are required to be on leashes. This farmers market is also very child friendly!

Lunar Year Celebration at Bay Street in Emeryville, CA was dog friendly!

Last night we went to a Lunar Year celebration at Bay Street in Emeryville, CA. There were lion dancers, vendors, and crafts for children! We didn't bring our pooch as we didn't know if it would be dog friendly, but it was! Dogs who are comfortable with crowds, noise, and costumes would be fine.

Here is a friendly pooch we met at the celebration! Next year we'll bring our dog!

Happy Chinese New Year! It is the year of the sheep! Or the ram!

Owney the Mail Pooch

"Owney the Mail Pooch" is the historical tale of a dog (in the late 1880s) who joins the US Postal Service in Albany, NY, and then travels the country helping to deliver the mail.
