Lap Up Drinks at These Dog-Friendly Ice Bars

Here in Minnesota, it’s no secret that we love three things: dogs, drinking, and the cold. This year, our state’s considerable winter spirit is smiling upon us: we dug up some pup-loving ice bars that welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes!

Before we get started, a quick doggy disclaimer: even if you don’t mind the cold, Fido might not be such a fan. Be sure to bring your pup only if he or she’s the hardy sort, and be sure to watch for signs of discomfort. If your pup doesn’t love the frosty air, consider checking out a heated tent (like those of Stanley’s or The Howe) or a dog-friendly taproom!

And check the dates and hours carefully below, since most of these spots are only open for Super Bowl weekend.
