Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is expanding its northern California footprint with the addition of a new restaurant in San Mateo. The new restaurant will be located in the Bridgepointe Shopping Center.

Lazy Dog’s menu focuses on comfort food with a twist that highlights seasonal ingredients, handcrafted cocktails and a wide selection of craft beers. Inspired by the lifestyle of the Rocky Mountains where founder Chris Simms spent time with family growing up, Lazy Dog offers the perfect environment for a quick weeknight dinner, a meandering meal with old friends or a big night out.

The menu features seasonally inspired dishes and a variety of favorites with a Lazy Dog flair. Lazy Dog’s seasonal offerings include new small plates such as Goat Cheese + Pepper Jelly, entrees such as Pork Belly + Beans, Green Goddess Salad, BBQ Bison Meatloaf and desserts including a Peach-Huckleberry Open Face Pie, all made in house from scratch. To complement the food, Lazy Dog’s bar features a variety of handcrafted cocktails, house beers and non-alcoholic beverages.

Designed to feel like a Rocky Mountain Wyoming escape, Lazy Dog’s warm interior will be complete with lodge-inspired furnishings such as cozy fireplaces, ledge stone, a chandelier crafted from Aspen logs, and artwork reminiscent of the Cowboy State. Multiple flat-screen TVs will be installed throughout the bar and patio areas so that guests may cheer on their favorite sports teams, and a dog-friendly patio will offer a special menu for dogs featuring grilled meats and brown rice. Lazy Dog also offers brunch on the weekends, daily happy hour and late-night offerings.

Beer lovers in San Mateo can also join Lazy Dog’s new beer club – created by beer lovers for beer lovers. Each quarter, LD Beer Club members pick up a kit with hard to find craft beers, custom merch and more. When dining at Lazy Dog, club members also get to take advantage of draft beer upgrades on select beers. Visit Ldbeerclub.com to be in the know.

At Lazy Dog, warm hospitality begins with a positive work environment for the restaurant’s more than 200 teammates. In 2018, Lazy Dog was named a “Great Place to Work” and that honor continued in 2019.  With opportunities for first time employees to management and culinary positions, Lazy Dog offers quality training and development paths.
