While claiming to be “dog friendly” is a great way to attract people and their pets to visit local parks and green spaces, there’s one place that takes the phrase to a whole new level. Fido’s bar is, perhaps, the world’s first and only “dog tap house,” and your favorite craft beer isn’t the only attraction; you also get the privilege of enjoying your beverage with rescue dogs that need to be adopted.

This unique bar in the southwest suburbs of Portland, Oregon, hopes that by the time customers are ready to go home, they will take a furry friend (or two) home with them. Doubling as a foster home for dogs from high-kill shelters in California, the bar encourages people to interact with the dogs and see if they might be a good fit for their family and home.
