This place is brilliant! It's super clean and well- organized. But most importantly, the staff is amazing. You can tell that every single person enjoys their job and loves dogs. It's one of my dog's most favorite places in the whole world.

Had a great time today. So great for the soul to watch all the dogs roaming freely and playing. I was so surprised to see how well the dogs get along. Our dog behaved so much better than when he is on his leash and we’re walking and he encounters another dog. Be sure to create an account to register your dog and upload vaccination records before you arrive. They have a nice selection of beer, wine, cocktails and coffee drinks.

Barkside is the best! Great vibe, good drinks! The Rufferees are super attentive to all the pups, making sure everyone plays safely and has a great time. Love the events they do, especially the nail wagon (nail trimming) ever first Saturday of the month! Highly recommend. 🐾

My dog and I absolutely love Barkside. It is an experience that provides pure joy and is a pleasant way to decompress after work. The staff is friendly, do a great job of managing the pup-mania happening, there is always good music providing a fun & uplifting vibe, friendly patrons, the facility is cute, clean and well maintained. I’m so proud to be a member and love to see the team/company expanding.

We love the Barkside! The Rufferees jeep everyone in line and are fun to tailgate to. You can tell that everyone that works here loves their jobs. You can grab a cocktail, let your dog play and socialize AND someone else picks up the poop? Yes, please! Make sure to tip well when you order a drink since everyone splits the tips.
