Good dogs, getting their cups

A pup cup for every good dog.

Free pup cups. Your dog runs, sniffs and makes new friends on the turf, then comes back to the table for something cold.

Two kinds of happy

One for the dog, one for you. This corner has been double happy for a while, and everybody still goes home happy and a little tired.

For the pups

  • Ten thousand square feet of clean turf for zoomies
  • Trained Barktenders watching every play group
  • Every dog vaccinated and temperament-checked
  • Free pup cups and water bowls everywhere

For the people

  • Soft serve, shakes, Columbus drafts and espresso
  • Plenty of seats, shade and covered spots
  • Clean restrooms and a free lot
  • Humans are always free, dog or no dog

Humans are always free. Dogs pay the cover, and every pass gets them the whole turf and all their friends.
