The Los Angeles Brewing Company offers a 'dog valet' service where you can park your pooch while you dine.

The service is free, but there is a requirement that your dog must be licensed by L.A. County. This ensures that any dog brought to the Brewing Company facility will have a proper rabies vaccination.

The area set aside for doggie care is separate from the drinking and dining area, so a spokesman for the Brewing Company says there were no health department issues in setting up the service.

The canine-only patio adjacent to the restaurant is open from noon till 10 p.m. daily.
