Front Burner: Dog-friendly Italian pub, anyone?

Thirsty Dog LogoThirsty Dog Tavern – a reboot of the Vita space on Peachtree Road in South Buckhead — has opened. Dave Heany,  formerly of Star Community Bar in Little Five Points and Vita’s Tony LaRocco have combined their points of view into this hybrid entity.

Think: Games, flat screens galore, great beers out the wazoo.

Now think: Veal marsala, eggplant parmesan, linguine with sausage and peppers.

And dogs! The pet-friendly lower level has a “kibble menu” and a “Milk Bone Happy Hour.”

Tessa, my yellow lab mix, and I might just have to check it out.
