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.“

“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!“

“This is a great breakfast spot! I haven't been there for lunch yet, but I am certain that it is also a fine spot for that as well. I was particularly impressed with their response to accommodating a gluten allergy. The food was delicious and the staff persons all very hospitable. They appeared to have quite a few regular customers--lots of familiar and friendly conversations.“

“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.“

“I always get greated with an aloha as soon as I walk through the door. The employees work very hard and keep the line moving even when it’s busy. The prices are the best out of any other poke restaurant in my area and the food always hits the spot after the gym. I wish they would partner with The edge to give member a discount :)“

“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 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!“

“Great coffee, loved the atmosphere“

“Great service and awesome food!“

“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.“

“great selection, friendly service, super clean, informative, everything was delicious“

“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!“

“Good and customer service is very very good“

“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.“

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“We went here for the first time, last week. WORTH the trip! We were hopeful because we are big fans of good Indian food. We ordered the samosas and I had malai kofta and roti. I don’t remember what my husband ordered to be honest (I’m a vegetarian and he’s not so I try not to even look at what he’s eating lol) but he definitely tried a little of everything I ordered too. We experienced dinner BLISS here. The food was just incredible. We were SO glad we took a chance on this place (which doesn’t look like much from the outside to be honest) because it is a GEM. The staff were all so kind and helpful and genuine. We can’t wait to go back!!!“

“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.“

“Friendly service with really tasty food!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this restaurant. Dishes are absolutely delicious. Robert and Bella are welcoming and wonderful going above and beyond in making sure you have a delightful dining experience. Both are also so helpful with dish recommendations and our meals came very quickly. They are so friendly and personable and provide exceptional service. We can’t wait to dine there with them, again. Bánh Meee is our new favorite restaurant in Hartford. Thank you! 😊“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“the Family was just as pleasant and my chicken was ready when I walked in the door and you talking about Good 😋😋😋“

“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!“

“Pleasant staff and Excellent ice cream. Many flavors and they are all equally good. Highly recommend!!!“

“The food was amazing! We tried the birria tacos, steak tacos, and guacamole with chips, it was all so flavorful and delicious! The meat portion in the tacos was more generous than other places we’ve tried.
The kid at the front was so kind and patient while I took forever deciding what I wanted (I wanted to try everything, and I’ll keep going back till I do). He was very polite with me and my kids, and then was being silly with the kids like a big brother, they loved it! He made the experience much more than just waiting for a takeout order. We will be back for sure!!“

“Clean Restaurant, Friendly n Welcoming Staff and Fantastic Food!!! I have No need to go to any other Restaurant cuz they have it All here..In my opinion, it's the Best Jamaican Restaurant in Hartford.“

“Fantastic restaurant! Best food!“

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

“U must try it !! Great food great vibe !!“

“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!!!!“

“First time visiting here. We had an awesome meal!!!! Service was fantastic, attentive and friendly. It felt like we were family. Lisa made us feel like we were at her house.

Food was fantastic. This time we had pizza. We tried both the deep dish and the thin crust. Both were awesome!!! Coffee and dessert were also great (made in house) and tasted so fresh and homemade!!!

Will be back to try all their other dishes. Thanks for a great night!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“Excellent food, great customer service, friendly atomosphere.“

“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.“

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