Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Corpus Christi

Your faithful dog loves nothing more than being by your side. Togetherness doesn't have to be limited to hanging out at home or taking a brisk walk outdoors. Why not have your pup join you and your other friends for dinner and drinks?

Yes, it is possible to dine out with your dog. A number of Corpus Christi restaurants are adopting pet-friendly policies so you don't have to leave your canine pal behind. Plan to visit one of these accommodating restaurants on your next outing.
