Hops & Hounds

I took my dog Hank to the dog park on Sunday. He had a great time playing with all the dogs. The food was good the margaritas were great and the atmosphere was amazing!!! Great family fun.

BLUF: Downtown gem, if you have a dog, bring them, they’ll love it and so will you. Great drink specials, coffee, and food truck on site. As a downtown dog owner, I really can’t say enough good things about this place. My apartment has a small fenced in dog “park” but it pales in comparison to the offering here at Hops and Hounds. They have a big and small dog area, and during peak hours there’s a park attendant monitoring dog behaviors and keeping the area clean and safe. All of them are very attentive. Don’t have a dog? Still a great place to hang out and have a drink. They have several beers on draft, with rotating taps, all of the in-demand can options, and a full bar. They also recently added a coffee and pizza venue. Love the coffee, but I haven’t tried the pizza yet so I can speak to its quality. Weekly drink specials, of note are Margarita Mondays and Tap it Tuesday. The Monday offering is savings on their delicious margaritas, and the Tuesday offering is savings on any of their draft beers. Things worth knowing ahead of time: The dog park isn’t free, you have to download an app, and make an account even for a day pass. The day pass is $5, but there’s a monthly pass for $25 that is worth it if you live in the area. Children under 18 aren’t allowed in the dog park, for their safety and the dogs, which I appreciate. On weekends there’s a staffed bar that you can order drinks from without leaving the enclosed dog area. No on-site parking, but there’s a paid lot adjacent to their property, and earlier in the day you can parallel park on the street for free. (Street parking is always free, but there’s rarely open spots during peak hours) They have a food truck on site, Benjie’s Munch Truck is a mainstay, and sometimes they have a second food truck.

Encountered dog owners who were all respectful with well-behaved dogs. Enjoyed a few beers and good coffee while watching our dog having a great time. Venue was clean with attentive staff on site. Highly recommended.

Hops & Hounds has become one of those places that just feels good to be at. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, grab a drink with friends, and enjoy great food from the variety of food trucks. What I love most is how welcoming and pet-friendly it is!! The dog park is such a bonus, and seeing the pups play always adds to the experience. They host trivia, game nights, and so many fun events, so there’s always something happening. Whether you’re meeting new people, spending time with your dogs, or just relaxing after a long day, it truly feels like a place where everyone belongs.

Really cool and relaxed place to bring your dogs and have some drinks. There's plenty of space for you and your dog to chill. There's a bunch of tables and chairs and lots of TVs to watch a game. The drinks are good. I was pleasantly surprised by their beer selection. They don't have their own food, but they do have some food trucks in the corner of the place that have pretty solid food!
