My dog Stella, and I had the BEST.DAY.EVER here!!What a fantastic crew they have working.All the beer was amazing , self serve!!!The only complaint is no food options for my gluten Free / dairy free peps, and you can’t bring outside food or water.

Today was our first outing at Bark Social. My husband and I were impressed! I love the vibe! It's immaculate & friendly. Bark Rangers are very attentive and handle dogs professionally. And I love that they are strict with vaccines & documents, which gives us more assurance that Bark Social takes health and safety seriously. We had some sandwiches and dip. It was pretty good! My dogs had pumpkin cupcakes (see picture below), and they loved it. My dogs (Kuma & Kuki) had a fabulous time, and we can't wait to go back. Thank you, Bark Social and all staff, for fun times!

Angus loves it here and so do I! I’ve discovered so many great new beers from coming here. A well lit, safe dog park with shelter and heaters is so amazing for the winter.

I love this place. The staff are fantastic at calming things down when playtime gets too rowdy or when one dog seems overwhelmed, and they clean up any waste right away. It's really obvious that everyone who works here really loves dogs, and they welcomed my dog Murphy like family! I also appreciate how organized they are about immunization records because it makes me feel safer about all the interaction my dog gets here. Murphy always comes home happy and tuckered out! I'm a happy annual member.

It’s a nice place but the amount of restrictions are stifling. i understand it’s for safety of all, but it gets to a point where it sucks the convenience and enjoyment out of the activity. Also, the workers don’t seem to understand dogs. They fret over any rough housing but that’s the nature of how most dogs play. they’re constantly yelling and stressing the dogs in a way that is reminiscent of overzealous lifeguards on a power trip at a YMCA. The place has a lot of potential, they need to relax a bit to provide a more enjoyable atmosphere.The tip situation is also awkward. It’s setup in a way to chastise (jokingly but not really) you if you don’t pay 20%. I believe in 20% being the minimum tipping in almost all activities, but here the only service is them providing you the card so that you may use their machines to serve and clean up after yourself.The grounds themselves are nicely organized and comfortable. Food and beer was good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely adore Bark Social! As an annual member who joined before they even opened, I've been coming daily and it has become my go-to spot for both work and relaxation with my puppy. The atmosphere is fantastic, with my pup running around and having a blast while I work in the morning. In the evenings, I enjoy sipping on local beer, unwinding, and replenishing my energy as my furry friend plays some more.The staff is incredibly friendly and always gives a warm welcome. The owners are actively engaged, consistently seeking ways to enhance the experience. I've witnessed remarkable improvements in the turf, menu, and exciting weekend events over time. Bark Social truly cares about their customers and their dogs, and I can't recommend this place enough to any fellow dog lover. It's the perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and a great community of dog enthusiasts.

Bark social is amazing. It's one of the best dog parks you can go to. They have food, drinks, music as well as staff there to help keep an eye on your dogs. What more can you ask for? If you live nearby it's a no brainier. I wish there were some kind of extra perks for being a member such as a discount on drinks and/or food.

We both had a great time. She got to play and I got to socialize with other humans. Fun times to be had all around.

I can personally guarantee that anyone who left less than a 5 star review is certifiably insane, and probably doesn't deserve to be around dogs, much less have their opinions heard on the internet. From top to bottom the staff are so passionate about what they do and take such good care of the dogs. I'm there with my dog Huckleberry most days and even when I don't have eyes on him I know he's off hanging out with a staff member somewhere, getting some pets in. Can't recommend Bark Social enough. Huck wants to give a special shoutout to all his best friends, especially Nathalia who always gives him special attention and is an all-around All-Star, Sue who is such a friendly face welcoming him into the park every day, and Jackie who has probably snuck him more pup cups than I’ll ever know.

The employees apply their own rules that are different than the website. They said our dog's vaccine isn't current even though the record came from the vet. They insisted on applying their own rules.

Great place to hang out and kick back while your dogs run off some energy. All dogs have up to date shots and records on file. The employees are great and the beer card for the taps make your time there convenient and worry free! And in the the winter they have heaters!

We loved Bark Social! Has plenty of seating, and the fact that they have attendants monitor the dogs is so nice. You can have a good time without feeling like you have to watch your pup like a hawk. Perfect place to hang out with your pup and their four-legged pals. Highly recommend!

Great neighborhood doggy cafe serving pub food, coffees, local beers, and premix cocktails. Awesome place to spend time for dog lovers. Pro tip - fill out the paperwork before your first visit for a smooth experience.

My boys just hit 4 months and we had been waiting. The website makes it easy to "register" your pets. Uploaded copies of my vet records and they had them when I called a few minutes later. Upon arrival the staff is very friendly and helpful getting you checked in. After we confirmed today was the first day they were eligible... We were welcomed in. Upon entering the gate lots of friendly pups came up to say hi. Not an aggressive one amongst them. Walked over to the "under 30 lbs area" and put the boys down. They were a little timid but every guest nearby came over to pet them. In 90 minutes there I, met a bunch of happy friendly "dog people".The place does not smell like a dog park at all. And everyone seems right at home with a beer, coffee or soda. The food options are a little limited and I would probably recommend eating at one of the nearby restaurants.I would have like to have had more tables. It's really difficult to eat sitting so low with dogs everywhere. But on my way out, I noticed a air conditioned indoor area. I probably should have sat there.The rangers wander around and help with doors and pick up after dogs. I saw one "fight" broken up quickly by the ranger. Everyone was fine and no one got tossed out. The pups just needed a reminder. I only wish there was one in the little dog area. It would have made me more comfortable to maybe have a drink or something.If this were closer I would probably be back tomorrow.The boys were out as soon as we got home.

Great place to bring your dog, but even if you don’t have a dog, you can bring yourself here. Fantastic staff, good drinks, and good food. Would recommend to anyone that likes to watch and pet dogs!

We really like Bark Social! Our dog loves it and it's a great environment that they have created. Well worth your time and dog admission fee.Just be careful about the pricing for food and/or drinks - they tend to overcharge sometimes, and if you scroll down in the reviews, you will see that others have identified this same problem. Just make sure to ask for a receipt and verify that you are being charged correctly.

The idea for Bark Social is solid but the execution is mid. The employees are very chill and somewhat careless; NOT the bartenders or the front desk people, they’re fine. The ones who are supposed to be watching our dogs with us don’t help much, they seem nervous themselves. I only saw a couple dog bowls and that wasn’t very appealing. Nice surrounding area though, maybe separating dogs by their size would be a good idea.

We hosted a private party for 180 people last weekend, and everything from start to finish was amazing. The staff at Bark Social could not have been more friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure the night was a fantastic experience for our guests. The venue was perfect for a fun and casual vibe, and they are very flexible with making your private event special. Our guests loved it!

Bark Social has been a game-changer for us and our Pomsky since he was 7-1/2 months old. We started as month-to-month members and ended up becoming annual members because our little boy thrives here. It's the ultimate spot for doggie socialization!From the warm greetings at check-in (shoutout to Gianna, our absolute favorite!) to the strict vaccination requirements that ensured our puppy's health and safety, we've been consistently impressed. The Bark Rangers are phenomenal — they keep a watchful eye on all the pups, maintaining a safe and clean environment at all times. Plus, the other dog owners are friendly and welcoming.Having food and drinks available is a nice touch, and Bark Social is where we as a family have the best of times, and we couldn't recommend it more!

Mr. Darcy and Clover Maxwell and my GF and I had the best time here today! Can I tell you, their "Bark Rangers" are amazing - specifically Lauren, who was just tremendous! I was impressed by her almost natural abilities with the dogs who got a bit rowdy or whatnot. This woman was great! Give her a raise!!

This rating does not involve dog trainers:Horrible, robotic-like staff that can’t think for themselves. Zero critical thinking skills and far less problem solving skills. These employees obviously have no admin training. We will not be going back.

Go here, now. Forget Disneyland, this is the most magical place on earth. If you love dogs and beer and socializing with people who love dogs this is what you have been looking for. We can't have dogs right now and finally we have a loving place where it's ok to pet and play with everyone's dogs. They have events throughout the week so check their calendar on the website. We didn't get any food but others around us seemed to enjoy what they ordered and they have a great draft beer selection that is all self serve.

Had such an amazing time here!! This place is basically an outdoor bar combined with a dog park. You can let your dogs roam free and play with other dogs. You do not even need to bring a dog to visit. There is also a parking garage right next door for easy parking. Overall this is just a very fun place to drink, meet other people, and of course other dogs. Absolutely look forward to coming again

I have been a member of Bark Social for a while now, and while I love the concept and the community, I feel it's important to share some recent observations.Bark Social has been my go-to place for late-night outings with my dog, which has been a convenient and enjoyable option given my schedule. However, I've noticed lately a change in the atmosphere, particularly in terms of the level of supervision provided by the Bark Rangers and staff.While some dog owners are responsible and attentive to their pets, not all are. The inconsistency in supervision can be concerning. There have been instances when dog interactions have become chaotic, and it's challenging to manage the situation solo when the Bark Rangers aren't paying close attention.One incident that stands out is tonight when I witnessed two dogs knocking a woman over. Another concerned individual rushed to her aid, but unfortunately, the nearby staff and manager didn't step in to assist, which was disappointing.The lack of consistent supervision makes Bark Social feel like any other dog park but with a bar.I genuinely hope that Bark Social can address these issues and maintain a consistent level of safety and supervision, regardless of the time they choose to visit or who is working. It's a great concept and I'd love to see it thrive.

Absolutely loved this place! Great concept! Will definitely be back! We pre-registered online before hand for our two dogs, added the vaccine records and had our credit card online too. Very smooth check in process. I loved how they had a lot of staff keeping an eye out on the dogs to make sure they were all playing nice. If there was a dog being a bully then they would put the dog in time out to let them calm down. I saw the staff taking care of any dog poop which was very appreciated. Dogs had lots of water to drink from. I felt very comfortable in the space and you could tell all the customers were understanding of the rules. If you have food though make sure the dogs don't get it since they do sneak attacks lol. The beer selection was really great. Loved the vanilla porter and stouts as well as local favorites from Denizens. They did a great job with covid19 precautions, lots of sanitizer around and the tables/chairs spaced far enough apart. The small dog section is much smaller than the big dog section so just FYI if you got a small breed. They have a nice sand play area for children as well. Anyway I love it and can't wait to be back!

Unique place for dogs and humans! I've never seen anything like this except in Texas. Bring your dog, your laptop and enjoy coffee in the morning and beer in the afternoon/evenings - or whenever! Huge outdoor venue, over 350 chairs and large shade structures to stay out of the sun. Water tubs for dogs to play, restrooms for humans. Themed events, bday parties, locally sourced food, dog treats, beverages and apparel. Bravo to a great business idea that's fresh and fun!!! 👏😁

My wife and I come here on a pretty regular basis and love it. It’s almost a perfect execution except for the beer taps… I wish they would clean them or replace the lines or something, all the beer tastes kinda bad in the same way

Word of warning, if you have a shelter dog you cannot take them to BarkSocial. Our local shelter administered vaccinations to our dog but did not put an expiration date on the paperwork they gave us. Because of this our dog was denied entry despite there being proof of vaccination. There is no vaccine out there that is good for less than one year so having an administration date of less than a year should be good enough.
