Get ready for a tail-wagging good time at Shearwater Tavern’s newest event, The Dog Bar: Where Dogs Call the Shots, debuting Tuesday, January 28, 2025, inside Carmel Mission Inn’s cozy and inviting courtyard. Combining live music, creative hot dog-inspired eats, and refreshing drinks, this canine-themed gathering promises to be the paw-fect midweek escape for two and four legged locals and visitors alike.

For the inaugural event, Shearwater Tavern will transform its cozy patio into The Dog Bar, where guests can indulge in a rotating menu of gourmet “dogs,” paired with exciting toppings. Four-legged friends can indulge in complimentary dog treats and water stations, ensuring they enjoy the festivities as much as their human companions.

Guests over 21 can also sip on craft cocktails, local beers, and fine wines while soaking in live performances by talented musicians from across the Monterey Bay region. With its relaxed, lively atmosphere, The Dog Bar is positioned to become the go-to destination for dog lovers, hot dog aficionados, and anyone looking to add a little more fun to their week.

“We’re thrilled to launch what we hope will become a new, weekly tradition,” said Bob Lambert, general manager of Carmel Mission Inn. “Our community loves gathering on our patio, and The Dog Bar offers the perfect mix of delicious food, great music, and a dog-friendly vibe that everyone can enjoy.”
