Great dog park, great staff, owner needs to get more in tune with daily operation and seek customer input.

Great first experience taking my pup there. They have staff who ensures dogs don't fight or if they get too aggressive they step in rather quickly.
Good chill bar that has a food area and a enclosed off leash dog park. They do cocktails, alcohol, non alcoholic drinks, soda, and coffee. So if you're not a drinker they have plenty of options to pick from

my dog and I love this place, friendly staff and friendly dogs and owners. I feel that my dog is safe to be here. Staff watches over the dogs and make sure everyone is having a good time.

If you have a dog or just want to hang out with them, this is the place. A bone-shaped above-ground pool, tennis balls, water for all and various beverages for the humans. The attendants monitor the pooches to keep the peace and make everyone has fun.

Cute potential but not “kid friendly”. The dog park was okay, but not work $12.99. Frozen margs 10/10 though!

Brought River in for my husband's friends' group pet meetup! The staff were super nice and friendly, proactively kept everything under control (so we could enjoy hands-free time chatting with other pet parents), and River had a wonderful time with all the other pets!
Good spot to let your dog run around with others for a while. The bark rangers are super attentive and circumvent many potentially weird interactions with overzealous dog owners by staying on top of misbehaving.

As someone who used to work here the biggest issue I see is the inattentive bark rangers. If I come here I'm back to working, keeping the peace while they chit chat or hide inside.
In 2018 the price was $5, in 2025 its $12.

A dog friendly area in Austin that sells food and drinks? What’s not to love! We decided to stop by Yard Bar looking for a nice chill spot to spend a Sunday afternoon with our dog and here’s what we found: parking is decent and the exterior of the place looks very nice and clean, the interior is very much the same. Like all other dog bars they do charge a fee to have your dog go into their dog park area but not for their general eating area. The fee is about $13 and you do have to fill out information there so be aware of that. We opted not to go into the dog park there as it was too hot and there weren’t many dogs inside. From the outside it also looked like there wasn’t too much shade for the dogs but again, hard to confirm as we didn’t actually go in.
They have water bowls available to grab your dog some water in the back which is a plus. When seated we ordered some food to get things started. We got a turkey dog, kids grilled cheese, and a chicken sandwich. You order up at the window and then they bring it out to you at your table which is nice. The food was a pretty big miss though, the kids grilled cheese was half a grilled cheese, which while we understand it’s a kids version, it’s just cheese and bread, give a full one. The turkey dog was a hit, at least with our dog cause he scarfed it down. The chicken sandwich on the other hand was awful. It came with about 7 pickles which made no sense, it was also a bit burnt and way too salty. If we hadn’t paid like $13 for it, we probably wouldn’t have finished it. To be honest with you, Yard Bar does not feel like a standout spot. If you’re going to pay the money for the experience you may as well go to Mutts, which in our opinion is a much nicer experience.

Not dog friendly to those who have service dogs that aren't spayed because it isn't safe because of their age/breed. Thank you for turning us away 😒
