Roll Over, Rover, and Smell the ‘Cue! Smokebelly BBQ Welcomes Pups to the Patio

Have you seen those “wag more, bark less” bumper stickers? Smokebelly BBQ sets tails to wagging more by offering a dog-friendly patio for guests who love their four-legged Bud as much as they love cold suds and hot ‘cue. Imagine how loved those pooches will feel when owners walk or drive them to Smokebelly BBQ in Buckhead. Supersized umbrellas over tables and plush “grass” carpet keep toes and paws cool, preventing hot dog syndrome. Whether you share a bite or two of Smokebelly’s succulent smoked meats and fixins with your pup, well, that’s up to you. Either way, he’ll still love you.
