50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Newington

“Fresh sushi, great service and reasonably priced. Best sushi restaurant around.“

“Amazing tacos on taco Tuesday! Full plenty of meat for 3 tacos. The truffle Mac and Cheese is also delicious - highly recommend! Service was also amazing and quick.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BREAKFAST/BRUNCH/LUNCH place!

Worth finding this hidden gem on the Berlin Turnpike! We had a very fresh omelette with veggies and delicious in-house baked bread for toast. The home fried potatoes were so well prepared and flavorful.
Topped it off with one of their Liege waffles with strawberries. Coffee was tasty as well and several staff members stopped by to check on us and answer our questions about the restaurant and its offerings.
We will definitely be coming back with friends and family...“

“My son and I walked in as they were closing the other day and the owner cooked us up some fried rice and egg rolls even though his chef had already left. Great food and service!“

“My family and I went here for my son’s 8th birthday and the food and service was incredible. The atmosphere gives cozy and welcoming. The customer service is worth every dollar I spent.“

“Possibly one of the best spontaneous lunch experiences you'll have that will make you making plans to come back! Liz and recent trainee Chris did a phenomenal job making mouth-watering sushi burritos for us. The flavors matched perfectly, every note had its spotlight, and the burrito was manageable to eat. Nothing spilling gratuitously out the sides or anything. Fantastic atmosphere, super friendly and patient staff, just do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a luxurious sushi burrito while you're in West Hartford!“

“Tired of the never-ending onslaught of hazy IPAs? Looking for a real wide variety of beers that all have great flavor? This is the place. Maibock, Helles Lager, Pils, Czech Amber, plus more. They even have beers on a side pour (iykyk).
Plus the vibe is chill. The owners and bartenders are super friendly (shout out to Dylan who is the best). The building is historic. And they support the local community with events.
Parking is simple with a lot across the street. They have snacks but you can bring your own food (grab some to go from Parkville). Dog friendly. Kids are welcome but this isn't the kind of place you're going to find a family birthday party for a toddler (thank god).
This is definitely the kind of brewery for beer lovers.“

“It was our First time going there today with My husband and Everything we got was Delicious! I highly recommend going there! It was Wonderful, and I can't wait to go back there again!“

“I had such a great time at Arrigoni for Mother's Day. The wine slushies were delicious, the staff is nice, the band and ambiance were great. An outstanding experience all around.“

“The beer is delicious and the food is worth a trip by itself. We had a large group and got a bunch of different pizzas. They were all home runs. Same goes for the wings. Been dreaming of the pizza since I left!“

“Possibly my favorite spot in CT. The atmosphere and customer service is wonderful and the food is SOOOO good!“

“Good and customer service is very very good“

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“Very friendly and what a great couple to host we hired them for our town football team as a pregame treat and their ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to booking for my personal use in the near future. Ice cream is my weakness and they definitely pass the test .10/10“

“The Spot Café truly lives up to its name it hits the spot every time. You can tell there’s real love and care put into the food, from the presentation to the flavor. The cafe is welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. It may be a small space, but it delivers big on quality and experience. This place is definitely a hidden gem in East Hartford.“

“Wonderful indian cuisine! We were served the best samosas that I've ever had. I ordered the Aloo Gobi and my spouse got the Kadai Chicken, both medium spice. We both really enjoyed our meals a lot and I have enough leftovers for another meal. The restaurant has a small dine in area and while we were there one other group was dining in. Most other customers came in to pick up their take out. Wonderful food and wonderful service! Thank you!“

“Great service and awesome food!“

“Amazing ambiance, incredible food, and friendly service. The bartenders make delicious drinks and the small plates are unique and phenomenal. One of my favorite restaurants.“

“Best ice cream around town! We moved to the area last year and discovered this spot while driving one day. We visited once and never stopped coming back. My family and I get our sweet treats from here at least once a week. We love it so much we wish they were open all year round ☺️ but nonetheless we look forward to coming here during the summer months. If you do decide to stop by, try their seasonal apple crumb caramel ice cream. It tastes just like an apple cider donut. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Hundreds of 5 star reviews and it really is true, this place is five stars in everything they do. Quality, price, friendliness you name it. 20 people were lined up to order when I came in and it moved quick. I also saw several regular customers have parts of their order put on the house. Goes to show how great this place is.“

“Great coffee, loved the atmosphere“

“Delicious food & great service! Highly recommend the Pho....it's the best I've ever had! We drive almost 40mins at least once a month to enjoy the food!“

“Best Chinese food in CT! Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food. This is not your typical American-Chinese restaurant, but it’s good as it’s meant to be cooked in China. Yum!“

“The best brewery around! I love going with my husband and dog to hang out. Helpful and friendly staff“

“Delicious food every time I’ve been there. 🥰“

“Charming atmosphere and great owners/staff! Creamy homemade ice cream that’s well worth the trip! Great community supporter also.“

“First time coming here, we were a little disappointed that the items both my husband and I wanted to order were unavailable at the time however what we did end up getting was very delicious. I got the birria tacos which I've had from many other places and these were the best ones by far. The beef brisket was perfectly tender, the flavor of the birria and consumé was amazing. My husband ended up getting the pastor burrito and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We love a good place to get some tacos/burritos and this was some quality authentic Mexican food. We will definitely be coming here again.“

“Tried for the first time today ! I had the loco taco hot dog and it was delicious !“

“Warm hospitality ,fine choices of Mead served elegantly . A must vist , in Middletown Ct“

“Honestly a GEM of a restaurant and a place that I will return going as long as they are open. Food was superb and a great menu , it will be tough for parking I think because it is in downtown Hartford. But hell I dont care because the food is that good, so the plan is to order food to eat inside and order to take out for next day, great job guys, coming back soon!!!!“

“Destiny was a savior! My family and I were craving some biscoff cookies, and we were able to eat them fresh out the oven! It was heavenly. Special shoutout to Destiny for her wonderful and warm customer service. I didn’t feel rushed selecting my flavors and she was very helpful and kind. I came thinking I’ll get three Biscoff cookies but her service made me walk out with a box!“

“Best food and service !

“In the area for business, avoiding big chain coffee shops, stopped into Bob's for a coffee and guess what happened......the nice man getting my coffee says no charge. Who does that? Bob's coffee shop, THAT'S WHO. Thanks.“

“A good hang out spot!!! I highly recommend this place❤️❤️❤️“

“The hole in a wall spot where I plan to spend the summer! My cousin and I stumbled upon this place looking to try a new winery. It’s rustic and beautiful, honoring its history and serving delicious, homemade wines, fruit wines and ciders. We spent a few hours here yapping, and trying to pet the farm dog Daisy who is the very best. Tons of outdoor seating and spot heaters as needed. We got a flight for $16 and went back for a bottle to share — and then bought more to take home! We will definitely be back. John and Jean are great“

“I had an outstanding experience at Teriyaki Madness in West Hartford thanks to the amazing night staff on 5/29/25! Kirsten who goes by Kris, took my order, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and ensured I felt comfortable with my choices because my first option was sold out for the day! Brendon was equally impressive! His charm and respectfulness shone through as he assisted Kirsten by handing out the orders and keeping the dining area clean. I arrived just before closing, but both Kirsten and Brendon maintained their enthusiasm and were eager to serve me. Their teamwork made the experience even more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated their dedication to excellent customer service. I couldn’t have asked for a better dinner pit stop after a long day of work! Thank you, Kirsten and Brendon, for making my first visit memorable!“

“Ari and her crew put together an amazing today after wedding brunch for 80! Bagels, spreads, salads, pasta! Everyone loved it and all the leftovers went home with friends and family. Thanks!“

“Great local beer, a friendly brewer, good snacks and nice atmosphere“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“Came in last minute this past Saturday with a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 children under 11) as grandson had a baseball game nearby. Was my first time. Food choices were very good and kids menu also had lots of offerings and their meals also included ice cream. I can’t say enough about our waiter, Matt. He was just the perfect server for our party, as he had children himself and totally understood how challenging it could be eating out with kids. He put the kids orders in right away. He knew just want to stop by and check on us. He is an asset to your restaurant and you’re very lucky to have him. We will definitely be back. Was a very positive experience.“

“We love Josies ! From the home made bread and muffins to the great staff we always have a great time .“

“The food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very nice. The seating feels like being in a living room of a home in Middle East, cozy and welcoming. I just think that it would be best if the tables were a little higher and if they turn the TV on or play some music to break the silence because it doesn't feel like you can have private talk when it's dead silence. I suggest something like a soft music may be with a show of Middle East paysage.“

“A Hidden Gem! 🍻Coles Road Brewing I recently discovered this amazing brewery and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with Sean. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide range of styles to suit every palate. I especially loved No Straws Required-Raspberry ❤️ The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend a beer based on your preferences. If you're a beer lover in the Berlin/Kensington Area , you definitely need to check out Coles Road Brewing“

“so fresh and delicious. really nice staff.“
