    It was our first time at Barkhaus and we all had a blast. The dogs were all friendly and the staff mediated if necessary. Very friendly staff. Delicious drinks! Great place to bring your dog for the afternoon.

    If you are looking for an indoor/outdoor restaurant that you can go to with your dog, this fits the description. Nice staff. Food was good but very limited offerings. Nice beers and wine available. But the off leash area is smaller than I expected. Overall is was a pleasant experience and it was good for dog socialization. It was a nice outing for my one year old puppy.

    While the primary reason to visit Barkhaus is their attended, artificial turf dog park, having food and drink options are definitely a benefit. Good food and sufficient variety of beverages. Highly recommended.

    This is a fantastic place to bring your pup for a bite to eat and some drinks. And if you don't have a pup, it's a great place to get your puppy fix.

    Brought my pup here for her gotcha day and it was great!! They were out of a few menu items and the line did take a while to get to the bar, but we were there on a Wednesday night. Dogs had a great time!

    We like Barkhaus...staff member st the dog was not friendly on Thursday evening this week. For the first time, I was told to eat my food at the dog park with dogs instead of using the tables. What os the difference from a dog park then!!!!
