This fine eatery welcomes its guests at the entrance of the property with a huge, 100-year-old Banyan tree. This quaint little pub offers Irish cuisine and hamburgers, as well as prime rib on Sundays. The staff also welcomes your fine furry canine friends, both large and small. Guests can even order grilled chicken for their pooch, which the cooks will gladly cook to perfection and serve to your pet at the same time you get your food. However, to abide by state health department rules, all dogs must be on a leash, are allowed only on the patio and must be under the control of their owner at all times.
Nexxt Café
700 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 532-6643
www.nexxtcafe.com
This venue serves the usual fare, such as burgers, salads and seafood. But the portions are so huge that guests frequently have difficulty finishing all their food. So feel free to share some of your food with your pet if you so desire. Although pets are only allowed outside, the servers will happily bring your pet a bowl of cool water. But be forewarned, there are a lot of other dogs enjoying this venue as well so please bring only well-mannered and leashed dogs.
