Nemo’s Favorite Features

• Over the Top Attention – Nemo was the center of attention as soon as we walked in the door. He was escorted to the table with a small fan club waiting to pet him. Other guests also got to share in the Nemo love during the lunch. Nemo never felt like a nuisance and was welcomed to come back anytime.
• Classic Meatball Appetizer – While the appetizers are a little pricey for sharing with your pup, Nemo ordered the classic meatballs. As soon as we arrived, Nemo was provided a bowl with ice cubes to ensure his water stayed cold through out the meal. He was also checked on by the Brick House team multiple times, making sure he was comfortable.

Our Favorite Features

• Weather Ready Patio – Brick House not only has typical patio seating under the sun, but they also have an ‘indoor’ patio area with glass doors to protect you from the elements. This area of the patio makes it easy to relax with your pup in the shade. The patio also includes fans, heaters and a fire pit for the perfect environment no matter what season.
• Upscale Option – As one of the more formal choices for our Nemo Nibbles series, the menu can get pricey but Brick House makes up for it with great specials, including their happier hour until 7 PM and brunch with $2 mimosas. The small touches like hand wipes after your meal and a better than average bar food menu options make the restaurant the perfect place for a date night that includes your dog.

With big umbrellas and a spacious seating, this is the perfect place for a weekend activities and a relaxing meal. Only a 10 minute drive from Chesterfield, the Mallard Lake view is one of our favorite options for patio eating with your pup.

Nemo’s Favorite Features

• Spacious – As a larger dog, it is important to have space for Nemo to feel comfortable. With their large patio, it was easy to eat and have Nemo there. When we visited, the Lakehouse team did a great job at spacing pups throughout the patio.
• Side of Bacon – Nemo enjoyed a side of bacon while his humans enjoyed a large menu with lots of choices. The Lakehouse provides a larger cooler of water with bowls for you to fill for your pup.

Our Favorite Features

• Location – With a name like Lakehouse, you know the view is going to be great. Sitting outside with your pup is always fun but enjoying the lake views and nature sounds allows for a nice break from the city patios and busy streets. With multiple trails at Creve Coeur Lake, the Lakehouse is the perfect spot to stop after a long walk or afternoon outside.
• Outdoor Bar & Drink Specials – One of the best parts for humans is their outside bar, making it easy to bring your pup and have access to drinks. The Lakehouse has great drink specials for spring, summer and fall as well as a seasonal menu to use seasonal ingredients.

Nemo’s Favorite Features

• Attention – Nemo was the center of attention during our lunch at Joey B’s. Waiter and waitresses stopped by to say hi, bringing him water and continually asking if he needed anything. Other guests also asked to pet him and chatted about his breed, size and demeanor. If your pup likes attention, it is the perfect place to get extra love.
• Fried Cheese Bites – While the menu is a little pricey for sharing with your pooch, Nemo ordered an appetizer to munch on. The fried cheese bites were delicious and Nemo ended up only getting a few because of his humans!

Our Favorite Features

• Good Service – Not only was the Joey B’s team accommodating for Nemo, the staff provided great service for the humans as well. When sitting on a patio, the service can be hit or miss but Joey B’s ensures that you are not forgotten outside.
• Impressive Patio – As we stated above, the patio provides a lot of options for any size family or dog. While the tables can be a little close together, they were more than willing to accommodate Nemo’s size and did not sit anyone directly near us. This casual dining experience can be dressed up or down and the fans/heaters provide added amenities for any weather we may be having in St. Louis.

• Dog Menu – The doggie menu is truly the highlight of taking your pup to Rock and Brews.
