Spartanburg’s Marriott Unveils Dog-Friendly Menu

An Oase for Canine Companions in the Heart of Spartanburg

In the charming town of Spartanburg, dog-owners now have even more reason to rejoice. The famed Spartanburg Marriott, located at 299 N. Church St., is extending its hospitality beyond its human guests. Promoting its outdoor area known as The Terrace, this eating spot at the heart of Spartanburg Marriott now features a pet-friendly menu so that your furry companions can join in the dining fun.

The Terrace – A Treat for All

After exploring the picturesque streets of Spartanburg, The Terrace offers an ideal respite for both you and your faithful companion. With its invigorating ambience, exhibition of soothing fire pits and relaxing outdoor seating, The Terrace introduces an innovative concept: a dedicated dining menu for dogs. This novel initiative includes dog-friendly delicacies such as cooked salmon, hamburger patties, boiled sweet potatoes, peas, and even pet-appropriate desserts rendered from seasonal fruits and a concoction of peanut butter puree.

Redefining Mealtime for Man’s Best friend

Executive Chef of Spartanburg Marriott, Trang Pitts, elaborates on the idea behind The Bark menu, “At home, we make our dog’s food because that way we know it’s better and exactly what we’re feeding our dog. With this menu, we are offering pets an enjoyable and nutrient-rich meal while also reducing kitchen waste. When we’re dealing with our salmon fillets, we cut off the tailpiece and use it for these dog delicacies.”

A Walk in Downtown Spartanburg

For visitors looking to explore and walk their dogs, downtown Spartanburg is a go-to destination. Most restaurants and cafes have crafted a hospitable environment for pets, including outdoor seating areas and warming meals. Alejandro Morales, a local restaurateur, shares similar sentiments. “Every day, we have customers relax outside with their dogs. We provide special plates and treats, a simple gesture to show that dogs are as much a part of the family.”

Notable Pet-friendly Restaurants Downtown Include:

• Burgär
• Monsoon Noodle House
• Mezcal Taberna Mexican
• Cribb’s Kitchen
• Delaney’s Irish Pub
• Fr8Yard
• Ciclops Brewery
• Mon Amie Morning Café

Spartanburg – Unleashing a Dog-Friendly Culture

With the bar for pet-friendly accommodation raised, other points of interest in Spartanburg are also signing on to this trend. The Barkery Bistro, for instance, goes the extra mile by providing homemade treats, while Fr8yard opens its doors to the Spartanburg Humane Society for ‘Yappy Hours’, a fundraiser held every first and third Wednesday in spring. Unleashed Dog Bar, South Carolina’s first and only off-leash dog bar, offers a perfect location for both dogs and their owners to socialize and celebrate.

Overall, Spartanburg has genuinely embraced the importance of our canine companions as part of our daily outings, stepping up the game for dog-friendly spaces. The city is ensuring everyone – two-legged or four – can enjoy the beautiful weather, delicious food, and warm, community camaraderie. Make sure to keep an eye out for the next time you plan a day out with your four-legged friend!
