The Tower Bar sits in a prime West Hollywood location where you can enjoy sophisticated dining without leaving your dog behind. This establishment channels old Hollywood glamour with a refined yet genuinely relaxed atmosphere that welcomes dogs on its outdoor terrace.
The outdoor seating area is where the dog-friendliness really shines. The Terrace has comfortable seating with crisp white cushions under a covered travertine lanai, arranged so you’ve got plenty of room to settle in with your dog. The staff greets you and your dog with the same attentiveness—they’ll bring water bowls and dog treats without making a fuss about it. On a clear California day, it’s a pleasant spot to sit while your dog stretches out nearby and takes in the activity around you.
The menu covers the ground you’d expect from a place like this: solid appetizers, well-executed main courses, desserts that don’t disappoint. The kitchen sources quality ingredients and the execution is consistent. You’re not eating casual food here, but you’re also not navigating an overly fussy dining experience. The portions are reasonable, and the pacing allows for actual conversation.
What makes Tower Bar work for dogs is the honest acknowledgment that you’re bringing a pet along, not pretending it’s some special occasion that requires performative fawning. The space is designed so your dog isn’t underfoot or in anyone’s way. The covered lanai means you’re not squinting into harsh sun while eating, and the breeze coming through keeps things comfortable even during warm months.
If you want to skip the terrace entirely, there’s indoor seating too, though that’s obviously not an option if your dog is with you. The pool views from the outdoor area are genuinely nice—not dramatic, but the kind of view that adds something without demanding your attention.
Dinner reservations are definitely the way to go, especially on weekends when the place fills up. You’ll want to mention when booking that you’re bringing a dog so they can seat you appropriately on the terrace.
