New dog bar in town so of course I had to check it out. I went during their grand opening day and got a super amazing deal on a yearly membership. Thank you!!!! I frequent other dog bars at least 3 times a week and I really needed a place open on Mondays and just a change of scenery for the pups. It was spacious and there was a mini pool and some balls for the dogs to play with. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The pups (we had 3 with us) had a great time. Plenty of tables for seating. Everyone made new friends. Running a place like this is not easy, I can see that from the other places I go to. I’m grateful that they even opened because we don't have enough dog friendly places to go to in the Tampa Bay Area. To the reviewer who gave a 1 star because they don't allow children, you are an A hole. Seriously, this is a BAR and there are dogs which is already a risk with them getting into it with each other. It’s not meant to be a family friendly place with little kids getting hurt because they pulled some dogs tail or triggered them in some way. I am thrilled that it is 21 and up. It’s so unfair for a local business to get a poor rating because someone doesn't like the rules. Thank you to Barks and Brews for adding a very much needed off leash dog play area for adults to be able to just hang out and enjoy their time off and not leave their dogs at home. My kids are grown now. I had enough time at Chuck E Cheese that I just want to relax with my dogs and talk to other adults that are obsessed with their pups as...
Read moreYay for our community pups, they now have a wonderful LOCAL place to socialize and play, safely! My husband and I took our furbaby to check this place out. Barks and Brews Taphouse did NOT disappoint, actually it was far above what we expected. CLEAN, and the team is phenomenal! Tony, Patrick and Steven are so kind and attentive (keeping the play areas clean and even playing with the dogs!). It was therapy for us humans too, just sitting down, relaxing, having a beer and watching all the dogs play. We laughed at the doggie antics and met some other pet parents. We realized that we needed this relaxation and disconnect from "the real world", not just our pup. We'll be back. Heads up, be prepared to show the vaccine records are up to date. You can sign up on the app (so easy, just go to their website and you'll be prompted), I did it about 20 minutes before we arrived and when we got there we were already in the system and good to go! We appreciate knowing that all the dogs there are vetted. Great job, all the way around, Barks and...
Read moreFun place, very clean and well staffed. You do have to fill out some forms confirming shots and records for your dog which you can download load their app and do ahead of time. We only did a day pass but they do offer monthly-6month and annual passes also. Nice Tap selection with some great local beers as well as cans etc., the wife was please they had White Claw just wish there was Black Cherry, haha! The turf is clean and they are very attentive to clean up which is appreciated. There could be more seating and shade but that may come as the summer months approach. There is a small side area for “timid” pups also. Indoor seating area with TVs where dogs are allowed and a very nice, large bar area where dogs aren’t allowed. Won’t be our last...
