The Dog Menu

Yes, We Have a Literal Dog Menu.

Most places on State Street will bring your dog a water bowl if you ask nicely. That was never going to be enough. Your dog gets a menu here, just like you do. Order them the salmon, the chicken, or the birthday dinner. It comes out tableside on the patio. Wednesday lunch or a full birthday party, same deal.

For the Humans

Elevated Craft. Block Party Energy.

You came because we're dog-friendly, but you'll stay for the food. The Cruisery is a three-room bar where the kitchen has no business being as good as it is. Order the confited garlic buffalo wings, grab a Lavender Lemonade or a Jamaican 10 Speed, and let the room stay loud around you. No itinerary, no hopping around. Just one table that turns into the whole night.
