Restaurant Spotlight: October 2002 All Dogs are Lucky at This Restaurant in Portland, OR All dogs, not just labs, are lucky at the the Lucky Labrador Brewing Company in Portland, Oregon. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables at this brew pub. And yes, the pub does have a labrador retriever as their mascot and on their beer labels. At the outside seating area, your pooch can relax at your feet while you unwind with some beer or food. The pub offers a nice variety of food including veggie and meat sandwiches, bentos (chicken or veggies over rice), soup and more. Of course, if you love beer, you will also have to try their ales like the Black Lab Stout, the Dog Day India Pale Ale or the Top Dog Extra Special Pale Ale. And if you visit during the month of October, don't miss their Dogtoberfest on Saturday, October 12. They celebrate the pub's anniversary on this day. The highlight of the day is the dog wash, which is held in the parking lot. For treats, humans can try a special Dogtoberfest ale and doggies can get dog cookies and biscuits. The pub might even have a band for musical entertainment as well. For more information: Lucky Labrador Brewing Company, 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland, OR. 503-236-3555 Portland dog-friendly lodging
