About Park-9 Dog Bar

Park-9 Dog Bar is a welcoming spot for dog owners, providing a relaxed environment where pets can roam off-leash and owners can unwind. The staff is attentive and careful in managing the dogs, ensuring safety and fun for everyone. It feels like a brewery for dog parents, perfect for a weekend visit after brunch. The venue is friendly, clean, and secure, with checks at the door to confirm dogs have updated vaccines. Dogs here are generally well-socialized, making it a great place for pets to play, wrestle, and explore while owners relax. The location is wheelchair accessible, with ramps at the entrance and to the on-leash area where most tables are situated. Visitors often praise the friendly staff and the environment that encourages dogs to do what they love best—sniff, wrestle, run, and even climb on picnic tables or beg for treats at the front desk. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the food trucks add to the enjoyable atmosphere. Park-9 is the only dog bar in New England, setting a high standard that makes it worth a visit for everyone, whether or not they have a dog. The staff’s risk-averse approach, which includes intervening in excessive barking or hyper play, helps maintain a safe environment. The owners emphasize that dogs need to communicate naturally, and some behavior, like growling or snapping, is part of dog interactions. The facility is not suitable for very timid dogs or those overwhelmed by many other dogs, but overall, it is loved by many pet owners and professionals alike. Kids under 12 are not allowed in the off-leash area, but they can sit outside at tables with their iPads and enjoy non-alcoholic drinks.
