A little about what we are: The Dog Bar is a combination of a private off leash dog park and a full service sports bar. There’s over 5,000 sq. ft. of off-leash indoor & outdoor areas for pups with separate areas for low energy dogs from the large play area. Both are turfed and feature misting fans to keep you cool in the summer and heaters to fight off the chill in winter. Although we do not serve food there are food trucks available to order from daily. We opened in 2016 and are a family owned and run business. We have a fun tight knit staff that are passionate about their jobs and love working at Dog Bar.
