Passionate dog owners want to share their everyday experiences with their four-legged friends. Now pooches can accompany their owners to nosh joints in Chandler.
Uncle Bear’s Grill and Bar: Come sit and stay
Uncle Bear’s Grill and Bar is one of the most dog friendly places in Chandler. The trio of owners— Todd Carey, Josh Allison and David
Thompson—have created a dogcentric establishment that is rooted in the memory of owner Carey’s pooch, “Bear.” The restaurant features hints of Bear’s home, garage, backyard and neighborhood.
Every dog has its day at Uncle Bear’s. The restaurant is decorated in a dog theme, including bone-shaped high-top tables at the bar, down to the shelled peanuts served in large doggie bowls that are on the bar.
“Barketing,” Sales and Events
Coordinator Jason Derby explains, “Our patio is dog friendly. We have a $2 doggie menu that includes ‘Hunter’s Blend’ and ‘Boomer’s Blend.’ Saturday, dogs eat free with the purchase of an adult entrée.”
Any dog owner can bring an 8 by 10 photo of their pooch in a black frame and Uncle Bear’s will add the picture to its dog hall of fame. Hundreds of cute dog photos adorn the walls of the restaurant. The free Uncle Bear’s Grill and Bar mobile app will leave you happier than a junkyard dog with a complimentary chef-selected appetizer when you join the Loyalty Program. It offers current specials, full menus and the ability to make reservations.
“There is also a monthly dog photo contest and the winner gets a $40 gift card,” notes Derby. Check the home page, UncleBearsBarandGrill.com, for a QR code access for the free app. Look for upcoming fundraisers for various pet rescues at Uncle Bear’s, too.
Human visitors will love the menu. Choose from a huge variety of appetizers, soups, salads, fish, fajitas, tacos, impressive burgers, chicken, sandwiches and more sides than you can “shake a stick at.” For a couple or trio, be sure not to miss the nachos, served on mini tostada rounds.
Uncle Bear’s will soon be opening its fifth bar and grill in Ahwatukee
called Uncle Bear’s Brewhouse Grill and the new place will also brew its own beer. It is expected to have more than a dozen beers on tap (including about 10 of its own brews) with other craft beers rotating through the mix. Uncle Bear’s Grill and Bar is located at 1980 W. Germann Rd. (at Dobson). Call 480-722-1555 or visit UncleBearsGrillandBar.com for more information.

Coach & Willie’s: A fetchingly dog friendly establishment
Coach & Willie’s is doggone fun for everyone. In addition to being a family friendly sports bar, they love canine company and the patio is petfriendly.
“We have water bowls and dog treats on the patio,” explains General Manager Kevin Grojean. “It’s great that people can spend time with their pets and we also welcome service animals inside.” What began with a few dogs “paws-ing” on the patio each week has grown into a small community of pet lovers taking in the sights of downtown Chandler and enjoying the 42 bottled and canned beers and 18 beers on tap.
The menu is chock full of woodfired oven pizzas, sandwiches, salads and desserts. Don’t miss the homemade pastas, including their specialty Mac-n-Cheese entrees like Buffalo Mac, Lobster Mac, Bacon Mac and Hatch Chile Mac. Saturday and Sunday mornings are a good time to bring pets when breakfast is served.
Coach & Willie’s is located at 1 E. Boston St. (at Arizona Avenue). Call 480-776-6240 for information on the restaurant or catering. Visit CoachAndWillies.com for more information.
Top dog at getting into the canine friendly game
BLD (short for breakfast, lunch
and dinner) was the third restaurant in Chandler to apply for its canine friendly patio license and it is happy to oblige. Operating partner at BLD, Brent Shinyeda says, “It was an easy decision and it was no expense, except for the sign, and now people like bringing their dogs and spending time with them out on the patio.”
Pooches are happy diners at BLD when their owners dine on the patio.
“Our chef will do doggie dinners when time permits. He’ll cook up a dinner of rice, carrots and chicken,” Shinyeda states.
The human menu at BLD is best described as “Continental American Comfort Foods,” but because it is a local restaurant, it can change up the menu. “We do two major reprints a year of the menu,” states Shinyeda.
Executive Chef Ehren Litzenberger has cooked up a diverse and fun menu that includes buttermilk fried chicken and waffles for breakfast, BLD pita pizza at lunch and the “Not Your Granny’s Meatloaf” for dinner. BLD also offers a private party room that seats up to 40 people. BLD is located at 1920 W. Germann Rd. (at Dobson). Call 480-779-8646 or visit BLDChandler.com for menus and a list of events. Check out the drive-thru for barista and call-in orders, too.
