A road trip isn't complete without your best friend, but when your BF has four legs, logistics are a little more complex –– especially with the heat this summer. It can be tricky to find dog-friendly places online, so we did the legwork for you! Medicine Hat has several fantastic dog-friendly patios that are totally worth visiting!

Hell's Basement Brewery

Hell's Basement Brewery are true dog lovers, with many of the staff bringing their furry friends with them to work. Hell's Basement has expanded their drink options for all tastes, and their patio is family-friendly. If beer isn't your thing––pick from their rotating list of hard sodas or their non-alcoholic Heck-of-a Root Beer!
