New St. Pete bar is going to the dogs

Cheers to cocktails and canines. A new Bay Area bar allows dogs and their owners to belly up to the bar and bond over martinis. 

St. Petersburg’s newest dog bar, Mutts & Martinis, should be open in a few weeks. 

Owner Natalie Conner also runs three Love My Dog resorts in St. Pete. Mutts & Martinis will feature a water pad/ splash area for dogs and a bar for people with 28 TVs'.

"A lot of people want to be able to come with their dogs and have a nice time," Conner explained. "We want them to do that in a safe type of environment."

Connor says she is taking what she’s learned from 15 years of operating her dog daycares and using that knowledge to open Mutts & Martinis.
