The Bench

1700 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach | (831) 298-5906, pebblebeach.com/dining/the-bench

Stealing the title away from Big Sur’s Nepenthe, which owned it for years, The Bench overlooking the 18th hole at the world-renowned Pebble Beach Lodge can be the next date spot for you and your favorite puppy. You can enjoy casual-style dining on the outdoor patio and sip on a one-of-a-kind cocktail while your best friend sips on some chilled aqua. The restaurant and lodge are pet-friendly as long as your pup doesn’t do anything that makes the greens no longer green.
