What a great place. Great music, great cocktails and beer options, food truck , lots of space for the dogs to run and play. The staff were very attentive and made sure all the dogs were playing nice. We will definitely be back.

Great place to bring your dog to socialize. Make sure you got your dog records if going for the 1st time . They do charge to bring your dog in 15 for the day. They have membership for 30 for the month. The drinks are great the atmosphere is fun. Your dog will have a blast .

Loved the concept of this place! While we were traveling and didn’t have our pup, we swung by here and we’re very impressed. Loved the atmosphere and music, the lay out is great, half indoor & half outdoor. Lots of room for the pups to play yet be able to keep your eye on them. The staff was very nice and our bartender gave us a great overview of the company. We will absolutely have to swing by this or their Orlando location next vacation we have our pups!!The pups there apparently were mostly “regulars” and all well behaved. If you have having separation anxiety from your fluffy ones, great place to swing by to give some pets and a nice stiff drink lol. Most dog bar parks I’ve visited aren’t a full liquor bar which is a plus also. So glad we stopped by!!

Really neat and cozy place. I recommend it for dogs with CHILL temperaments. If you have an Aussie like me who likes to run around, you'll sure get your steps in There are a lot of corners and hidden areas, so monitoring a dog who is constantly on the move is not easy. I wish the space were laid out in a more open way. Because of the layout, it seems that more calm-natured dogs are present. My visit on a Saturday left my Aussie without a pup to play with because the temperaments didn't click. Because of this, Two Shepherds Taproom is a much better fit for a high-energy dog.

Once had a monthly membership to this location. Cost for two dogs was $45 but range up a monthly charge lower than that. Then emailed to cancel once I wasn't frequently going anymore. Emailed to cancel. Owner called to personally say we can continue to give you the discounted monthly rate. Unfortunately, I agreed and then the next three months I found that I was being charged $60 a month with no reason or notice. This time I went personally and cancelled but wanted a refund. Spoke to Camden a new GM for the location I thought I was all set when he agreed something wrong happened with the account and then convinced me he will go ahead and fix it. He gave me his business card information and informed me I should be getting an email with photos of the account and a description for their finance department to help me out. That was in September and there is still no solution or contact. I have reached out twice and to say the least Pups Pub is unorganized and likes to lie to their customers. I write this to see if they'll reach out and finally resolve my situation before going to the Better Business Bureau.

Decided to take my 10 month old Frenchie out for some fun and socializing. After some Yelp research, we decided on Pups Pub. We were already familiar with the location, as the bar used to be The Bungalow... one of our favorites, so we knew what to expect. Parking was RUFF, as there's really not many spots. I circled around the tiny lot for about 20-30 mins before I spotted someone leaving and squeezed into their spot. I drive a jeep and kept considering parking on the curb behind the Pups Pub jeep, but didn't want to risk getting towed. Upon entrance, we showed proof of our pups vaccinations and paid the fee ($15) for our dog day pass. As soon as we walked in, about 8 dogs surrounded my pup to say hello. I was definitely nervous at first, but an employee came over, asked me to unleash my dog, and he kept an eye on him for a while to make sure he settled in. Thankfully, it wasn't long before my guy was running around with the pack of big dogs, zooming from inside to outside... up, down, left, right, and everywhere in between. The indoor/outdoor vibe is perfect for a pup pub like this, with Astro turf throughout and large fans providing a nice breeze. We posted up at the bar (lots of tv's), got some high noons, and let our pup do his thing. Employees kept a good eye on the dogs, cleaning up any "accidents" and keeping water bowls full. I'll definitely be back, as my pup had the time of his life and slept GREAT that night!No food, but it looks like you can bring your own or order delivery.

Pretty awesome place to take your dog. There is plenty of televisions for you to watch and the dogs can run all over while you’re just having a beer and watching the game. I highly recommend it. It is very fun. I will be coming back.

Boy do I want to give this place a 5. Such a cool venue. Staff were great. But there just seems to be some lax rules for aggressive dogs. A pit bull was present for my visit and immediately started stalking my dog, hovering over him… intimidating him. Anyone familiar with bullies.. knows what this means. It’s a behavior issue that clearly the owner hasn’t worked on. Since it was my pup’s first time here, I was by his side trying to reassure him but this pitty’s behavior made me uncomfortable. The pup troller - bless her heart because she was great - recognized this, grabbed the dog by the scruff and escorted it back to its owner. 10 minutes later we see the pitty running loose again and doing the same thing to my dog, again, the pup troller was there to escort the dog back - but as she grabs the pitty it lunges and attempts to nip my dog in the face. This is where you lost me - that dog shoulda been asked to leave right then and there. But nope, i was there about 60 minutes only for myself to shoo that pitty away again from my dog and watch the pup trollers escort the dog away 3 other times from different dogs. At no point was the pressure put on the owner to say hey maybe leash your dog as you watch football as it’s continually bullying other dogs and you don’t seem to care. Not sure if this is a bar policy but i didn’t enjoy myself because I was constantly on edge. I know that’s the purpose of the puptrollers but the repetitive nature of this was disheartening (and it can’t be expected that the workers devote 100% of their time watching one dog - you’d hope a responsible owner would step in). A rational person would be like… what are we doing here? I know it’s a matter of time before that dog hurts someone. I’d love to become a member but I can’t justify the risk after this experience.
