⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Favorite Dog Bar—A Total Gem! This dog bar is hands-down our favorite place to unwind. The atmosphere is the perfect mix of fun and relaxing, whether you’re hanging out with friends or letting your pup burn off some energy. The rufferees are always on watch, keeping things safe and smooth, and the entire space is impressively clean, something I really appreciate. The clientele is great, the vibes are always good, and there’s usually a food truck parked out front with something delicious every weekend. They regularly host fun events, but nothing beats Wine Wednesdays, which have become my weekly treat.

Dog & Pawrent Approved! 🐾🍻 We absolutely LOVE Broken Leash Dog Park Bar. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that safety is their top priority—the check-in process is smooth, the staff is attentive, and the pups are always supervised by the amazing rufferees (the real MVPs—they ROCK!). It gives you total peace of mind knowing your dog is having the best time and being well cared for. The vibe? Completely unmatched. Fun, cool, welcoming, and effortlessly chill. It’s the kind of place where everyone feels like a regular on their first visit. Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or meeting other dog lovers, the energy is always positive and inclusive. The turf is a total game changer. My dog gets to run, wrestle, zoom, and burn off all that energy—while somehow still staying clean. No muddy paws, no mess, just pure joy. That alone is worth 5 stars. The beverage selection is incredible, with tons of NA options too. Thoughtful, well-curated, and perfect for everyone—whether you’re sipping something fun or keeping it alcohol-free. It really feels like they’ve thought of everyone here. And honestly? It’s more than just a dog bar—it’s a community. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs, the pawrents, and the experience they’re creating. Every visit feels special. This has officially become our favorite place—our happy place. Broken Leash, you’ve earned two paws up and all the tail wags from Willow Williams. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💖

We LOVE the broken leash! The owners are very kind and attentive, employees are all trained in canine behavior, and all dogs are required to have vaccines. We felt like our dog was very safe while we were here! I love how much they care! There are lots of events and cute details. There’s wifi, so it’s a nice place to take my dog to run around while I do some work on my computer. Love the community they have going on here!

Mika and I’s first visit to the Broken Leash Dog Park & Bar was an absolute blast! Staff & Owner were very nice and attentive! It was very nice to meet and chat with fellow pet owners as well. A little incident between two other dogs did break out but the pet owners helped to break it up quickly and the owner/staff handled it very well. They listened to the pet owners who witnessed the little fight break out + checked on the condition of both dogs involved + reviewed footage and verified what happened ensuring they issued a warning to the appropriate party and inquired on what additional service they could provide to the owners whose pet was mildly injured. Incidents are unavoidable when pets/dogs are involved, it’s how the staff/owners respond that truly make or break a place. Great service and protocol if you ask me! We’ll definitely be coming back here to continue socializing our pup and making friends. Highly recommend everyone to give this place a try. Just remember that although they do have trained staff to help monitor the pets and watch for possibly troublesome/aggressive behavior, it’s still the responsibility of the owner to keep a close eye on their pup during their stay to prevent them from getting into things they shouldn’t (I.e. picking up their fecal, ensuring they don’t try to eat other dog’s poop, don’t hop up trying to drink people’s drink, etc.). They also have long hoses you can (and should) use when your pet poops which may leave residue even after picking up. To emphasize - great place and would 100% recommend anyone to give it a try and see if it’s a good fit for you and your dog!

If dogs could leave reviews, mine would give Broken Leash Dog Park & Bar 12/10 and demand we move in permanently. This place is the ultimate win-win: the pups run wild (in the best, supervised way), and the humans get to kick back with a drink instead of pretending we enjoy standing awkwardly at a regular dog park. The space is clean, well-kept, and set up so dogs can safely zoom, wrestle, and make questionable life choices — all while I relax. Huge shoutout to Shannon for always making it such a welcoming experience. She somehow manages to remember all the dogs’ names and most of the humans’ drink orders, which honestly feels like a superpower. You can tell she truly cares about creating a fun, friendly vibe for everyone who walks through the gate (on two legs or four). If you haven’t been yet, you should fix that. Your dog will thank you. 🐾🍻
