Yappy Hour at Pairings joins dogs and drinking

A.J. Olmscheid

The latest happy hour for humans and dogs, or "Yappy Hour," at Pairings in Minnetonka offers thirst-quenchers and nibbles for dogs and owners alike. The Yappy Hours, which take place twice a month on Monday nights, might surprise unsuspecting diners with a patio full of pooches, but the crowd last week was lapping it up. The few groups without dogs were either discussing the pets they left at home or dining with small children who timidly wandered the patio, petting their new four-legged friends.

We captured the scene in a slideshow. You can also experience it for yourself tonight, from 4 to 7 pm.
