15 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Elk Rapids

Ethanology Distillation Cocktail Bar • $$
127 Ames St Old St, Elk Rapids

“Shannon, Tyler, and Nick are class acts. True artists that really know what they’re doing and will leave you speechless and broke if you’re not careful. Can’t help but return every time while “up north.” They’re that great and that consistent. GO HERE if in need of indulgent libations. I would be shocked if you were disappointed.
P.S. Leave with some coffee if you’re a die hard fan.“

“Went into Stone Hound Brewery for the first time. I have to say and keep in mind I don’t talk much or spread my thought process often. So moving on. I had the nachos and the chicken sandwich. If ur in the area and can support a locally owned business. By far this is one I would recommend. Kudos to stone hound for the fantastic food and beer. Awesome!! If you are apprehensive about trying a vegan option….don’t be….this place is awesome!“

Chateau Grand Traverse Wineries • $$
12239 Center Rd, Traverse City - 5.49 miles

“This winery was at a time, one I’d ignore. I never found the wines very interesting. However!!!, we visited the winery and they got rid of all the tchotchkes to focus on the wine. If you are fortunate enough to meet the tasting manager Hiro Miura, you will learn about gorgeous, delicious, interesting facts about grapes in every stage and distinction and contribution to the final product called wine. I’m a retired chef and I learned so much in our relatively short visit to the vineyard. I enjoy making connections with people I meet along my travels. This visit was marked as a favorite. Thank you Hiro for sharing your passion.
Warmly,
Sharilyn“

“Would I recommend? Hmm. Our server was great ( I wish I got her name) but she was overwhelmed and they were under staffed. The food? Not great. Everything was overdone. The cornbread was dry. I ordered the seared tune salad and the tuna was more medium well. The music could have been a little more upbeat for a weekend. While we all ( a party of 6) ate our food, it wasn’t the greatest. It may have just been an off night, every restaurant has some. I felt bad for our server. She was such a sweetheart. She can’t control the cooking staff or management. Management needs to learn that they need to take better care of their staff to make sure that patrons experience is above satisfied. Will I come back? Maybe. But it might be a long while? Will I recommend? If someone asks me about I will be honest. Will I come out and say you have to go there? No. But I won’t discourage anyone from trying it.“

Bowers Harbor Vineyards Wineries • $$
2896 Bowers Harbor Rd, Traverse City - 4.97 miles

“We visited this winery over the weekend and had such a great experience! The views are absolutely beautiful — perfect for photography and just soaking it all in. It’s a really relaxing spot with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the atmosphere.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and we loved that they’re dog-friendly. There’s even a park right next door with walking trails, which makes it a great place to spend a few hours (or the whole afternoon). Everything was clean and well kept, and they had heaters going so it was comfortable even in the cooler weather.
If you’re looking for a laid-back winery with great scenery and a welcoming vibe, this is definitely worth the visit! 🍷 Lots of parking.“
