Bring Your Dog to Cocktail Hour at Hotel Indigo Atlanta

Where: 683 Peachtree St Ne [map], Atlanta, GA, United States, 30308-4107

If we haven’t made ourselves clear in the past, we love pets. You may have also noted our affinity for, uh, a little sociable sharing of spirits (i.e. drinking). So clearly we love when hotels combine the two, such as the Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown.

The hotel celebrates the "dog days of summer" (yeah yeah, groan) with a weekly "Canine Cocktail" happy hour on their patio — held 6 to 9 p.m. — for pet owners and their panting companions, with this year’s season beginning Tuesday, May 26. There’s a water bar as well as the “Ruff Age Bar” — a free “special vegan doggie treat bar” — for dogs in attendance. Or extra-special pups can get pampered from the doggie menu (sirloin steak, $6; grilled chicken, $5; Voss water, $6.50). “Those of the human persuasion” can order pup-inspired cocktails such as the Greyhound, Salty Dog, and Yellow Lab.

Of course, a couple of rules of dog etiquette apply: leashes are required; dogs must stay out of the bar area and their paws off the tables and chairs. Also worth noting is that one dollar from every Indigo martini sold goes in support of the local Piedmont Park Dog Park.
