But much to the relief of people who don’t go to bars to get dog slobber on their clothes.

Funny, I thought you’d have come down squarely on the side of making it the bar owner’s decision. Then the patron can make an informed choice. Kind of like smoking.
Places that serve food and drink need to follow certain minimal sanitation guidelines. I don't think it should be up to the owner if he should allow rats and mice in the kitchen or not. I don't think it should be up to the owner to decide that cockroaches are acceptable. I don't think it should be up to the owner to decide that some stuff shouldn't be refrigerated There have to be objective standards.
Dogs are animals. They aren't a special class of animals that are really just furry humans in disguise - they're animals like cats, chickens, hogs, etc. Considering the disgusting things that I've seen dog owners do (as in kissing their animal), and the digusting things dogs do (love those dead animals to roll in.) When I had a dog, the first think he'd do after being forcibly washed was go find some sh!t to roll in. It's just the way dogs are. I don't think it unreasonable to ban animals from establishments that serve food, and whether or not dog owner care to admit it, dogs are animals.
