Hello out there, fellow dogs of Everett. My name is Zowie (@zowiewowwie) and I know a good bar when I see it.

When my pal Hugo (@hugos_n_kisses) and I started our epic, multi-week pub crawl I didn’t know the first thing about what was important in a dog-friendly bar. But seven bars later, I am confident that we are experts. But then, I am confident about most things with very little justification.

My impressions are displayed purely in order of visit. Incidentally, there may be other dog bars in Everett that are totally worth checking out. Feel free to let me know about them. Also, there are other bars that allow dogs on a patio but not inside. I didn’t go to them. Because it’s winter. ‘Nuff said.

1420 Hewitt Ave.

Everett, WA 98201

Right in the heart of downtown Everett, this place is worth a stop. There are free snacks for humans, quality beer on tap, and a huge collection of bottled and canned libations stocking the wall of refrigeration toward the back. The place is big enough to allow every dog a personal bubble if need be – but I wouldn’t recommend being shy. The dogs here were not at all proponents of the “Seattle freeze”.

Earlier this year Hugo and I made our way to Toggles to get ourselves photographed during a holiday fundraiser for a local dog charity. It was our first foray into the wonderful world of dog bars and Toggles set the bar high.
