A Mellow Dog is a Happy Dog

For my second installment of "Where to take your dog to eat in Savannah," I'd like to focus on a restaurant that has been the central point of many a delicious, and affordable  meal for us in Savannah. The pizza is heavenly, the vegetarian options are plentiful, and the beer flows like a river of honey. Of course I'm talking about the Mellow Mushroom!

TA DA!!!

Where else can you enjoy murals of tripped out mushrooms dancing on rainbows while eating a pizza that is aptly named the Kosmic Karma and enjoying a nice bottle of Purple Haze beer? 

John and I have frequented the 'Shroom no less than 30 times since we've been in Savannah (hence the expanding waistlines) and a big part of the reason is that it's a very dog-friendly joint. Barksdale likes it there almost as much as we do, and for good reason. The outdoor seating area is mostly shaded, which makes it do-able in the hot Savannah afternoons. There are about 8 tables outside, so you can usually grab a seat without a long wait, except of course during happy hour (which is in itself amazing...more on that later). The best part is that the servers are super dog-friendly and will usually offer your pup a meatball or a plate of grilled chicken. Needless to say, Barksdale NEVER turns down a plate o' meat, so he is more than happy to sit under our feet, and wait patiently for his food.

I give the 'Shroom three and half bones out of four (3.5/4), and I think that BD would agree with me on this one. The only thing that could make it better would be if the service at the outside tables was a bit more dependable. Other than that, we love it there and I'm pretty sure that I'm only a few more visits away from having a pizza named after me (have I mentioned the expanding waistlines?).

oh, and about that happy hour: $2 draft beers from 4-7pm. Need I say more?
