Bark Dog Park & Tap Room — Attraction in Modesto

Today was our first time going to BARK! I have to say that the employees are so amazing from the moment you walk in. Yztel helped me today and she made me and my pup feel welcomed from the moment we came in. You can tell she knows established members so I had NEW on my forehead. She gave me the run down of the facility including events they host. I also adored that they had a Rufferee that manages any aggressive signs or behaviors.

A major pro here is that you will feel a sense of community. You will have somewhere to go for game night and not feel guilty for leaving your dog. I went during the less busy hours since my 5 mo pup needs socializing. The owner is super down to earth and will pop out to give you tips and tricks on navigating puppyhood. My pup did great and was completely out of juice by the time we got home. I signed up for membership and plan on going at least 3-4 x a week to socialize my pup. In case any other puppy parents want to connect :)

The only con here is that the water bowls are small dishes. During our visit they were removed since the dogs were making a mess and my little big guy drinks a lot of water. He was parched when we got home. However this is a very small con considering it’s 105 today and he would have hated drinking out of a hot water bowl at an outdoor park.

I would...

I just wanted to leave a review because this place is amazing and the staff are very welcoming. My husband and I are experiencing homelessness and this was our safe haven for our dog Leah and for us. All three of us were able to go somewhere where we were out of the heat and felt that our dog was safe. The staff makes sure the dogs are safe and even if a dog fight does break out they genuinely care, separate them and make sure everything is okay (they're dogs it happens don't jump to blaming other owners). Unfortunately we were only able to go for a month due to having very little money but I can say it's very worth it for the money you pay to bring your pet here. We plan to get our membership back in the near future and would recommend this place to everyone. Two side notes to mention as well, your first day bringing your dog here is free so you're able to get a feel for the place and see if you like it which is a huge plus. If you don't drink they have plenty of other options such as non alcoholic drinks, snacks and even a few options for food that are all affordable and not outrageously overpriced. Thank you to all of the staff for making us feel welcomed and we hope to...

My dog absolutely loves to go to Bark to play. we've been members for a few months and love the staff, the beer , and watching my dog enjoy herself! Unfortunately, the last few weeks we've had a particular dog show up that was aggressive and immediately got into fights with other dogs. One Saturday we witness 3 separate fights. One dog was injured and left minutes after getting there. The aggressive dog owner did not offer his name and number incase the dog needed Vet attention. he just waited a few minutes and turned the dog loose to go fight another dog. Today the same dog attacked a 4 month old puppy. I told the employees they need to ban this dog. I felt like they didn't think this was necessary because the puppy didn't have any blood on him. SERIOUSLY.. does a dog have to be severely injured before they ban the dog? I don't want to cancel my membership, but I don't want to worry that my dog will be hurt either. (because of an...
