HopMonk Tavern Novato
HopMonk Tavern Novato throws its arms open to pets with well-spaced seating in its outdoor amphitheater that has its own pet-inclusive outside entrance during the warm season. Your leashed dog will get its own clean water bowl and you can order fresh-cooked pet portions of chicken, salmon or burger from the pet menu! HopMonk Novato is genuinely welcoming of people with pets.
(Remember, as in all California restaurants, pets must be leashed and not sitting on your lap or jumping on tables. Let’s do the right thing so everyone welcomes having pets around!)
