Review: I have a monthly routine: Drop off Fluffy to Doggy Detail for grooming, run errands, go to Costco, and then pick up Fluffy 2.5 – 3 hours later and get lunch at Ola Brew. Surprisingly, their outdoor area is pleasantly breezy and cool, and there’s lots of room for Fluffy to lay down next to me (but out of the way of servers and other patrons) and connect her leash to my chair or railing. They have of course their brewed in-house beers, but also their Hard Tea and Seltzers (Orange Vanilla is my fave). Their food is delicious, and their flatbread pizzas are fabulous if I have friends with me. Lots of dogs come here (Do you blame their owners?), and I have heard that there are many more at night time.
