Pet friendly

My family and I will be visiting Isle of Palms for the first time in a couple of weeks. We are bringing our two dogs and renting a dog friendly house. I know that the beach is dog friendly (with a leash), but we were wondering if there were any restaurants/bars on IOP that are dog friendly as well? We would love to be able to sit outside on a patio and have dinner somewhere without having to leave them at the beach house!!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!! We are getting very excited about our upcoming vacation!!!

I dont personally know the answer to your question. My guess is that the Windjammer or Banana Cabana might be ok with it...not positive though. If you still havent found out I would recommend posting this on the main Charleston Forum. There are 3 or 4 other local experts that actively respond to the Charleston Forum and we frequently get questions about Isle of Palms, North Charleston, et al. Perhaps one of the other participants will know...we just don%26#39;t venture off the main forum as often as we should.

Enjoy your trip!

As we are taking our little dog with us to IOP I would like to know what retaurants you found that the dog was allowed. Thanks.

We didn%26#39;t find any restaurants on Isle of Palms that allowed dogs, but we did go to Red%26#39;s Ice House which isn%26#39;t far from Isle of Palms (it%26#39;s on Shem Creek about 15 min away). They were very dog friendly, even brought water for them! Watching the dolphins from the table was awesome! Can%26#39;t beat the view!!!

If you are going to Charleston then Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is also dog friendly. They also bring water out for the dogs and even gave them a dog cookies! Also, in downtown Charleston there is a dog bakery (Three Dog Bakery) that allows dogs in the shop and has a wide variety of dog treats!!!

Hope this helps! We really enjoyed Isle of Palms and the Charleston area - and so did our dogs! Have fun!

Thanks for your help.

I was thinking you probably did more research about where dogs were allowed. What about carriage tours if you carry the dog? Are dogs on a leash allowed on the grounds of Boone Hall, Drayton Hall and Middleton Place? Thanks any other info about what not to miss would be appreciated.

I believe that there are a few carriage ride companies that allow dogs. Palmetto Carriage Co (www.carriagetour.com) definitely allows dogs because I contacted them to make sure. We didn%26#39;t end up taking our dogs with us on the carriage ride though since they are bigger dogs and we didn%26#39;t know if they would want to stay on! Regardless of if you have your dog or not, I definitely recommend a carriage ride as a way to get a good overview of the city.

We only went to one plantation - Boone Hall and they do allow dogs. While they are not allowed in the actual house, they are allowed everywhere else. The grounds and slave quarters were interesting to explore and our dogs enjoyed walking around and seeing the horses! I know that Drayton Hall also allows dogs on their property, but I am not sure about Middleton Place.

I believe some of the walking tours/haunted ghost tours also allow dogs to come along if that is something that you would be interseted in.

On the morning that we took the carriage ride we took our dogs to My Three Dogs which is a doggie daycare in between Isle of Palms and Charleston. If you are wanting to do things that do not allow dogs, but don%26#39;t want to leave your dog at the hotel/beach house this might be a good option.

Also, in addition to Bubba Gumps and Red%26#39;s Ice House I had read that there were several other restaurants in the Isle of Palms/Charleston area that allow dogs, but we didn%26#39;t go to any of them so I can%26#39;t say for sure. From what I read most of them probably only allow dogs on the patio and some of them only allow dogs at one or two of their locations - so you should probably call and double check before going!

Those restaurants are:

Dunleavy%26#39;s Pub (Sullivan%26#39;s Island)

Poe%26#39;s Tavern - www.poestavern.com

The Dog %26amp; Duck - http://home.comcast.net/~dogandduck/

Andolini%26#39;s - http://www.andolinis.com/

Sticky Fingers - http://www.stickyfingersonline.com/

Hope this helps! I would love to hear about your experience if you go to any of these places with your dog. Have a great trip! We can%26#39;t wait to go back this summer!!!
