Introducing "Pups & Patios": Exploring Dog-Friendly Dining in Lehigh Valley

At Beyond Behavior Dog Training, we believe that socialization and new experiences are vital for a well-rounded, confident dog. With the arrival of spring and summer, it's the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities with your furry companions. To celebrate, we're launching a new vlog series: Pups & Patios. This series will spotlight dog-friendly bars and restaurants in our area, providing insights into the best spots where both you and your pup can relax and dine.

Jasmine's Visit to Union and Finch

In our inaugural episode, we take you to Union and Finch, a charming American bistro located in Allentown, PA. This establishment holds a special place in our hearts, as it was one of the first local restaurants we visited upon moving to Allentown. We were thrilled to discover that Union and Finch warmly welcomes dogs in their outdoor seating area, making it an ideal spot for pet owners.

We love the dog-friendly patio seating!

A Warm Welcome for Pups and People

Union and Finch offers a cozy, homey vibe with its bright lighting, wooden décor, and an old-fashioned bar. Their heated outdoor patio, equipped with picnic tables, provides a comfortable setting for you and your dog to enjoy a meal together, even on cooler days. The staff is known for their friendly and accommodating nature, ensuring that both human and canine guests feel at home.

Delicious Fare with a Twist

The menu at Union and Finch features casual American fare with a twist on classic comfort foods. During our visit, we indulged in some of their signature dishes, while Jasmine enjoyed the lively atmosphere and the attention from the attentive staff. It's heartening to find a place where the culinary experience is as delightful as the welcoming environment for our four-legged friends.
