Beers, brats and belly rubs. Dogtoberfest is taking over Dog Bar Sarasota.

Join us for our dog-friendly spin on Oktoberfest with seasonal beers on tap sponsored by Sam Adams, Oktoberfest inspired specials coming out of the kitchen, and plenty of dogs joining in on the fun.

Think you’ve got what it takes to hold your stein longer than everyone else? We’ll put that confidence to the test with our Stein Hoisting Contest at 6 PM. The dogs get their own taste of Oktoberfest too, with special peanut butter and pretzel ice cream treats made just for them.

We’re also teaming up with Rescued Hearts, a local nonprofit doing wonderful work for animals in our community. Come meet their team, learn more about what they do and help us support a great local cause while we raise a glass together.

Bring your friends, bring the dog and come hungry. Lederhosen are not required, but we certainly won’t discourage them.

Dogtoberfest is happening at Dog Bar Sarasota, 1314 10th Street in the Rosemary District. Humans are always free. Regular Dog Bar admission and entry requirements apply for dogs.
