Doggie Happy Hour in Old Town Alexandria is THE Place to be on Tuesday and Thursday Nights
July 24th, 2008 Categories: Doggone It, Old Town
(”The World Famous”) Doggie Happy Hour, a long standing tradition at the former Old Town Holiday Inn, is back in full swing on Tuesday and Thursday Nights at what is now the Hotel Monaco.
We ventured out on an delightfully mild July evening to join the fun and were immediately swept into what only be described as pure entertainment.
An interior brick courtyard makes a perfect setting for humans and dogs alike. Complimentary gourmet doggie snacks and numerous water bowls are available for all visiting canines.
Human companions can order from the outdoor bar and feast on local regional specialties from Jackson 20.
Everyone - dog and human alike - was amazingly well behaved and hotel guests joined right in with the locals to pet, pat and pamper.
Management at the new hotel was obviously clued into just how much Alexandrian’s love their four footed friends when they appointed a Director of Pet Relations.
“Charlie” a handsome Bischon Frise, oversees the Doggie Happy Hour and helps schedule special events throughout the year.
Charlie is also on hand to welcome newcomers at the appointed hour - and to make sure everyone follows the rules.
Want to join in the fun? Call me at 703.927.4554 and we’ll find your new home in Old Town.
See you next week?

This looks like so much fun! What a great idea. My little Bichon Puppy “Daisy” would love it!
It is and it is absolutely an Old Town “must.” We are on a ‘waiting’ list for a rescue pup but have a standing invitation to take a Bichon friend, “Josephine” out on any Thursday night.
Come down anytime and go with us -
