Dog-Friendly Breweries

Untold, Scituate: Reggie’s favorite brewery. He’s allowed inside and always gets a treat. Right around the corner from the Scituate Dog Park.
Doctor’s Island, Hull: A tiny newcomer to Nantasket Beach, Doctor’s Island has a wraparound covered deck facing the ocean for you and your pup to enjoy the sea breeze.
Widowmaker, Braintree: This indoor brewery at the Braintree split is always packed with friendly dogs and usually has a food truck onsite.
Split Rock, Cohasset: This place in downtown Cohasset is equally packed with babies and dogs. Gives me a very similar vibe to the Raw Bar at Island Creek in Duxbury – beers, wines, seltzers, raw bar, light snacks and sometimes a food truck.
Dog-Friendly Restaurants

Lucky Finn, Scituate: The front porch and back porch are both dog-friendly and a scenic spot for coffee, breakfast or a snack right in Scituate Harbor.

Salty Days, Cohasset: The owner loves dogs and always welcomes Reggie on the outdoor porch overlooking downtown Cohasset. They’ve got the best sushi on the South Shore, hands down.
Shipwreck’d, Hull: This may change names for Summer 2024 since it has new owners, but I’m hoping the super dog-friendly vibes remain untouched. Great spot for drinks or breakfast.

Roht Marine, Marshfield: Awesome outdoor bar with killer coconut mojitos and a spicy shrimp pizza.
The Drift, Hull: The new name for Red Sky when it reopens for the Summer 2024 season. Great fire pit seating and outdoor tables facing into Hull Bay. Epic sunsets!
The Raw Bar at Island Creek, Duxbury: The best spot on a sunny day – cocktails, beer, wine, raw bar, snacks and ~vibes~.

Dog-Friendly Parks and Beaches
Stodder’s Neck, Hingham/Weymouth: Reggie’s favorite off-leash dog park. It’s like doggy nirvana with dogs running all over the place and little rocky beaches for them to explore.
Scituate Dog Park, Scituate: Scenic views of the wind turbine and a mulch pit, what more could you ask for?

Minot Beach, Scituate: All the way down at the end before the Glades is a secret dog-friendly beach for the summer.

Nantasket Beach, Hull: Only dog-friendly from September 15 to May 1.
