Our Story
In the wake of the COVID pandemic, when the typical social haunts like bars became off-limits, we embarked on a mission to create a haven like no other—a sanctuary for both people and their dogs to mingle safely. In combination with that, this venture was born out of a personal quest as well; our own dogs didn't thrive at regular dog parks, prompting the need for a safer, more controlled environment. That’s why our vision went beyond the average dog park, establishing a place with top-notch standards for safety and enjoyment. Every detail was meticulously considered. With an expansive outdoor area, we transformed the rest into a thrilling dog history. Rain or shine, in the dog-loving city of Seattle, we recognize the importance of outdoor exercise for pups, along with the added perk of enjoying a glass of bubbly champagne or a cold beer in the delightful company of your furry friend. Welcome to a haven where safety, socialization, and a good time collide for both dogs and their parents!Who We Are
Our space has separate areas for large and small dogs, as well as private party spaces. While your four-legged friend socializes, exercises, and revels in the fun, you can reconnect with old friends or make new ones over a refreshing beer or a delicious meal. Meet Our Team
