Barks & Bubbles Brunch Celebrates National Dog Day on August 25

An exclusive Barks & Bubbles Puppy Brunch event proves to be a hit for diners.

If you are a fan of dogs and delicious food, then we have found the best puppy brunch you could imagine attending at the Miami Beach Art Deco property, The National Hotel Miami Beach. The Barks & Bubbles Brunch at the property’s Mareva 1939 restaurant will not only give attendees the chance to bring one of their most loved family members to dine with them, but it is also an unforgettable and unique way to spend a Sunday morning with your favorite cuddly one.

Not only is the food spectacular, but the surroundings are elegant and the mood delights while energizing those who join the event looking for a laid-back and upbeat time.

While visiting with a friend during the event’s inaugural brunch, we witnessed diners enjoying themselves with family and loved ones. While the dogs happily wagged their tails and greeted diners with a joyful bark, we realized that the addition of a pet joining diners at this type of event adds a certain positive energy that warms everyone’s heart.

Barks and Bubbles does not only offer the chance for diners to bring their own pup, but they also might be tempted to adopt one. There is an adjacent pet bazaar by the hotel’s gorgeous lobby bar that offers animal-friendly and inspired products, such as jewelry and candles, as well as a photo opportunity where those who visit can cuddle up and pose with their dog and some there that are available for adoption.

As for the food and drinks, Guests will be tempted to indulge in bottomless select cocktails along the hotel’s beachfront cabanas and long pool or inside on a comfortable and classy table next to their impressive vintage martini bar. The perk of sitting in the breezy outdoor area is the perfect view of one of the longest pools along Miami Beach. The exclusive menu at Mareva 1939 is extensive, offering Spanish dishes such as a selection of highly recommended paellas, tapas such as lightly spicy chorizos, as well as many more dishes that will appeal to your specific tastes. Also, who does not like a chilled bottle of Veuve Clicquot, priced at a perfect $60, to accompany your brunch? We sure loved it!

Make sure to save the date for the next two Barks & Bubbles brunches, which will be taking place on Aug. 25, celebrating National Dog Day, and a holiday-themed event on Dec. 15.
