Dog Mahal is in a great location for access to OB and the dog beach. Lots of sand but with the amount of wind and water, that is hard to avoid. There's a broom and vacuum handy to clean the floor if you or your pup bring some inside. The patio was great to chill and watch the sunset and have a drink. We met a friendly next door neighbor and their pup. Walkable to both Voltaire St and Newport Ave for all that OB has to offer. OB Surf Lodge, Margaritas and Old Townhouse are great for breakfast/brunch. We always hit OB Noodle House while in town for some of the best chicken wings and pho. The space could use some updating/investment in nicer amenities, but it has everything that you NEED so no complaints.
