Great idea. Mostly very Nice staff. They have a lovely space with water tanks, misters, and a bar for people.
Not sure if they still have food as the place shrunk by 50%!! I miss the larger size so there were places for doggos to chill if they needed a moment. But the venue can’t control the lease.
They don’t have real bathrooms anymore which is not great. It’s a tiny bit pricey. And sometimes check in can take upwards of 15 minutes for no reason.
That same employee is often very weird about check in. Different rules at different times with different dogs. For instance we have two dogs. They have matching collars. Checked both in with no problem. Took one out to walk back to the car because we forgot a phone. When we came back, same guy at check in now said the collar was not ok and we needed to ADD another collar?
He then spent 13 minutes explaining where the bathrooms were to a new girl. Not sure if he thought she was cute and wanted to hit on her but 13 minutes for that was insane. People were waiting to exit and were unable to because he wouldn’t finish talking to her. It was really cringe.
Later he went on a whole thing about rule four to someone. Who when pointed to a sign and said but rule four on here is completely different and the heavier guy with glasses and white beard who’s been here forever said that was a different set of rules and guests needed to follow both sets of rules at all times. He was just being really creepy. Honestly my guess is he tends me more of a nervous person who likes control and doesn’t feel confident. That said, the man who is taller and looks mildly like a train conductor is phenomenal and should be promoted. Crazy hard worker. Chill but maintains calm and safety.
Well keep coming but we aren’t doing it as much as we used to.

The ideal place to socialize a high energy puppy in a controlled environment. Well worth the package deals, I got 60 visits for $70. I sit on the couch and relax while the puppy gets energy out. The staff is all regular and knows what they are doing.

I stumbled into Dog Yard in Ballard. It’s and off‑leash turf heaven at Leary & 17th. Tried a Peach Momosa and a Froze…yes, frozen Rosé meets whimsy. Bartender was sunny, patio heaters hum, pups romped. Sweet service, absurdly Seattle (“dog park chic”). Felt like I was in a quirky local zine praising Ballard weirdness while sipping booze. Ambiance: turf, misting, tunnels, heaters - surreal dog Disneyland for adults. Kind folks, clean turf that didn’t smell like a dog kennel. I left feeling charmed and slightly judged by a golden retriever, exactly as Seattle should.

This is my third place. The environment is amazing, my dog loves it, we can hang out without agenda and meet new people and pets alike. I can’t recommend it enough.

Their own food choices are fine but limited, but they have a food trucks who park outside.
This place is one of my favorite hang out spots for me and my dog!

I love the place! I even celebrated my pups bday here and we all had a great time. I agree with a comment a couple of months ago which mentions a husky named Wolf. Yes he will try to eat your food and hump your dog. If he has a reputation then has his mother been advised to keep a close watch? Because it doesn’t seem like it. If it hasn’t then please do so.

We haven't eaten there so I can't rate the food. It's a great place to hang with your doggie. Or just go by and say hi even if you don't have a dog 🐕!

What an awesome place for dogs and their human companions! Good beer, great atmosphere.
Very rude guy at the entrance who smirks and laughs in your face instead of offering advice.

As one would expect, the place was mildly entertaining with dogs running all over the place and the people were reasonably engaging. Yes, shocking, I know, for Seattle. Wasn't wild about the prices, but I was able to get a reasonably priced stout.
