About

DC's first pet-friendly bar garden was created in memory of the owners' Golden Retriever and perfectly captures the spirit of dog-loving community. The heated and tented front and back courtyards feature large canvas art and provide comfortable year-round outdoor dining for you and your pup. The establishment proudly supports the Humane Rescue Alliance, making it a gathering spot where golden retriever owners can enjoy craft beverages while their dogs socialize in a welcoming environment.

Tips

  • Both heated courtyards are perfect for golden retrievers year-round - the tenting provides protection from weather while still feeling outdoors
  • Food trucks during happy hour often mean dropped treats and friendly staff who love to meet dogs
  • The cornhole games create a relaxed atmosphere where dogs can socialize while owners play
  • Water bowls are readily available throughout both courtyards
  • Visit during weekday evenings for a quieter experience if your golden is still learning social skills with other dogs
