I absolutely LOVE going to Bar K! It's one of my favorite places to take my dog. It's such a fun, welcoming environment where dogs can run around and play safely while owners relax and enjoy themselves. One of the coolest things is that they offer gourmet meals for dogs and they're actually fresh and thoughtfully made! I love being able to treat my pup to something special while I enjoy their great food and drinks too. Everything I've had there has been delicious, and the drink menu is just as impressive. It's also such a great place to meet people. Everyone is friendly, and it's easy to strike up conversations while the dogs are having the time of their lives. If you're a dog parent, this place is a must. Five stars every single time! read more

Bar K - Dog Parks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

An absolutely great spot to gather with friends and their dogs to hangout and enjoy a few adult beverages. Super friendly staff in all departments. The used field turf they have makes a great surface for the dogs without them getting all muddy and looks good. We had a puppy litter 1st birthday party hosted by the breeder here and the dogs loved all the spoiling they received. The doggy meatballs were particularly a hit. My only knock which cost them a star and it applies to just about every bar in America now is way overpriced beer and cocktails. read more

Bar K in Kansas City is such a fun and unique spot for dog lovers! I've been here twice with my small pug, and it's always a great experience. The staff is attentive and does an amazing job ensuring all the dogs are safe and having fun. My pug is shy and doesn't always warm up to other dogs, but the spacious play areas helped him gain some confidence and get comfortable. It's a perfect spot for dogs of all personalities to have a good time. The atmosphere is awesome, with great food and drinks for humans too. After visiting twice, I decided to get a membership because it's that good! Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to let their dog play while enjoying a fun and relaxing environment read more

This place is awesome! I went with a friend who is familiar and wanted to check it out before bringing my dog, and I'm happy to say I certainly would bring my (small) dog. This day was a bit more chill than usual due to the weather but it was great to see all the play areas for dogs, including some for small dogs. Additionally, they have dog referees to supervise and help keep the dogs safe if they get too rowdy. Even if you don't come with a dog, it's good entertainment, not to mention great indoor and outdoor seating. Nice sized TV and pretty good food and drink selection as well. Very inviting atmosphere and I'd love to return, perhaps pairing it with a nearby KC Current game. read more

Fun place for brunch- smaller portions which are great when you're not wanting a huge meal! We sat at the very top outside so we could watch the dogs play-- brunch and a show! Our server was super friendly, and I love that they have a variety of iced and hot coffee options. Lots of cocktails too! read more

Voted best dog bar in the USA we do not own dogs but all 8 nieces and nephews do and anytime they go here we go it is such a blast. large space, always found a seat wait staff ontop of everything all the time food choices good wish there were some gluten and dairy free options read more

We had way too much fun at Bar K! I like how they keep the big dogs away from the tiny dogs and there are wonderful security features where you can leave your pup in a play area and go inside and order lunch or drinks! When your pup is done playing, there is a convenient shower area to clean off paws and get ready for the ride home! I like that there is plenty of supply areas to clean up poppies, disinfectant spray is provided with paper towels and poop bags. The play equipment is fun! And there is lots of shaded areas to keep you cool! We will be back! I want to explore the bigger playground! Satchel loved the dog menu and enjoyed the doggie ice cream! Clean fresh water bowls are available everywhere! read more

Well we found a bit of doggie Heaven on earth here! Our dogs love to be able to run and play and we loved watching them while enjoying great food and drinks. (And so did the pups) If you want beverages and food while you watch your pups play, this is your ideal place to hang out. My pups enjoyed Turkey jerky and ice cream while my husband and I had some adult beverages and tried out the chicken salad sandwich and bar k burger. Both were really good. We can't wait to go back! read more

Great place to take your dog after work if you are in the area. There is a cover fee if you do bring your pet that's $10 but free entry if you don't have your pup. The food actually surprised me, the chicken tenders were crunchy but didn't have too much breading and the fries were fantastic with their house honey mustard. The hot honey chicken sandwich tasted great but the chicken breast I got was way too small for that massive bun. The cocktails offered were a bit too sweet for me as well but my friends seemed to like them.. I switched to beer after one. I will say be prepared to wait for your food.. it was about a 35-40 min wait after ordering. It was all fresh at least! read more

I absolutely love love this park. We have taken our 3 dogs here for at least eight years. The past couple of years, they've had some morph times but i'm seeing so much more improvements. They are listening the members and the guests In doing what they can to resolve any issues. The only concern I have is new people. Not knowing to latch the gate due to dogs getting loose. It takes just a second to put the latch on the gates down. Other than that, majority of people are friendly and great and so are the staff. read more

Visited this place for the first time this past Saturday because my wife and I saw a posting about an adoption event they were having. My wife and I were very excited to potentially add a family member to our house but when we arrived almost 20 minutes into the event we were surprised to see absolutely no one in the event space we asked several staff and management if they had any information or knowledge on the event but all we received were blank stares and half thought responses. The only answer we eventually received was that the adoption agency that they were partnering with has not shown up for the past month at these events. In my opinion if you are that unsure about an event you're hosting yourself maybe you shouldn't be posting about it online and giving yourself a bad name. read more

My dogs and I love This place. Will be back to write a longer review. Brought Bella here in July, 2021. Brought Jasper and Sparky in February 2022. Dogs and their owners LOVE this place! So glad to hear there is now one in St Louis. Hope these open up all over. read more

I honestly didn't expect much from the food because I thought the main focus would be on the dogs, but that was not the case. We lucked out with $10 Weekday Lunch Specials (4 entree options, includes 1 side and soft drink) which is absolutely unheard of in this economy. While the wrap looks smaller than the typical wrap, it makes sense considering the price. And though portion size may have been sacrificed, the quality and taste of both the Bar K Burger and the Hot Honey Chicken Wrap tasted way better than anticipated. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and we love a potato bun --- one of the better burgers out there. The Hot Honey Chicken Wrap had a subtle honey taste, was not really spicy at all, and the sweet pickled onions really topped off the wrap. And the fries were perfectly fried and crispy. Service was relatively quick and our server was super friendly. The space was bright and airy, even on a cloudy day, with seating options on two different floors. I may not be a dog owner, but I would love to come back and enjoy the atmosphere on a summer day. read more

This place is a God send! I can work on my homework in the evening while my dog plays, and can also get a cocktail and get us both food if I want. There are employees who will watch the dogs while you are working, and the area is big and clean. After the first time going, I knew I needed a membership!! It has been so great to meet other dog lovers and allow my dog to play here!! read more

Bar K was a blast. I don't have a dog of my own anymore, but joined up with some friends who brought their dog here. Great outdoor space, the dog tenders are awesome and friendly, and they had live music. It was fun to just chill out, pet the dogs that would run up, and enjoy seeing some happy pups running around. I will say to watch out for landmines... I think the tenders do a great job, but I was in a mulch area that seemed to have been missed in terms of clean up. The signage is pretty self-explanatory. Dogs can be outside off leash, on the patio on leash, but not inside. This didn't stop one lady from being above the rules and bringing her dog inside "for just a minute" while the staff tried to get her to go back outside. I'm sure it is health department/food safety related and not that the staff doesn't want your dog to enjoy some AC. read more

This is the perfect happy place for dog lovers with and without their own dogs. There is a small dog area and a large dog area (where small dogs are allowed) with a water area during warm months, plenty of water bowls + tennis balls, a jungle gym, and most importantly dogtenders who keep the peace and make sure everyone is safe. During the winter, there is a large tent outside with heat lamps. The restaurant offers good food and has a dog menu as well. The inside bar has coffee, cocktails, beer on tap, slushies, and just about anything else you could want. On weekends, they offer "Doga" with a mimosa. They also host breed-specific meet ups, adoption events, and puppy training classes. There is no admission fee for humans, just for dogs, but they offer yearly memberships with lots of perks! read more

I never thought that a dog park/bar would have amazing food! Seriously...I was so close to wanting to try the dog food menu items because it sounded amazing! But a dog park and a bar? A concept that definitely needs to happen more! Dogs are SO cute and service inside the bar are great as well! I ended up ordering the chicken tenders/fries with the spicy mayo sauce -- which may sound boring, but these were some of the freshest and best tenders I've had in a while! Everything came out pretty promptly and very fresh! The chicken was so hot that I burned my fingers just trying to eat them! The fries were also really good too -- and this is coming from a fry fanatic! My friend ordered a burger, and these were some of the fanciest burgers I've ever seen! Very fresh ingredients and would recommend as well. Someone else also ordered the Loaded Chips, which was a very generous portion and looked and tasted amazing as well. This is definitely a place to come visit in KC! Dog, food, service are all amazing and is such a fun place to take a break from work/school/life! :) read more

Food ok Drinks waaaayyyy overpriced Dog safety ignored. I had a membership until one of my dogs was attacked by another dog and they said the attacking dog could return once it went through behavior modification and mentioned it had had issues before. My other dog was constantly bullied on more than one occasion with other dogs snapping and lunging. On those occasions the aggressor was also bullying other dogs too. The staff did nothing. The last time I was there it was a pit mix who was barking and lunging and trying to bite other dogs. After I chases it away 3x I confronted the staff and management. They still didn't care. The aggressors seem to be mainly bully breeds or mixes and the large doodles. I'm surprised more dogs or people/children aren't seriously injured considering they don't do anything when dogs are acting aggressive. The amount of kids under 16 that are left unattended is astounding. I've seen kids run away from and scream at dogs. Kids under 16 are supposed to be accompanied by adults. It's rare to see a kid with their parent. Socializing your dog doesn't mean it has to play with other dogs btw. Socializing means it just behaves well in society without being aggressive or fearful. read more

Edit: They banned him within 30 days of the posting of this review. This review is about the local creep. Everyone knows who they are and what they get up to. The staff know. The regulars know. The owners and managers know. The random walk-ins don't know, but they normally learn within fifteen minutes, or two if they're a woman. (The time estimates in that sentence were longer before I showed this review to a woman he's harassed and she asked me to reduce it to 15 and 2 minutes) Hell, their presence is so fundamentally tied to the place's reputation that random people at nearby bars know about him frequenting BarK and creeping everyone out. "Oh you take your dog to BarK? Do you deal with *creep's name* a lot?" Examples: Copying the numbers of staff and patrons when they say it at the counter for rewards points and then texting them late at night as if that isn't clearly and absolutely psychotic. Creeping around female staff when they're alone and have made several of them so uncomfortable over the years that they literally refuse to serve him. Making people feel so unsafe that there's an established buddy system to leave BarK when they're there around closing time. People literally coordinate leaving together rather than walk to their cars alone because of them. Orbiting dogtenders while they do their work and intently staring at their bodies. "Accidentally" flashing people. This is not an exaggeration; there are literally group chats to coordinate not being alone at BarK with this person. Regulars and friends who live nearby receive "help" texts to sit with someone and their dog at BarK or walk them to their car after dark when the creep is there because the behavior is so accepted by management and ownership. They consider their staff or patrons being uncomfortable to be a standard operating cost. On my very first visit to BarK a regular gave me a debriefing on who this person is, what they do, and how important it is to avoid them. It's a shame because the managers and owners seem like kind people, but it can't be denied that they know the full breadth of this situation, beyond what is covered in this review, and legitimately do not care because he's a paying customer. My dudes, I promise you this guy drives away FAR more revenue than he generates. I know at least half a dozen friends who adamantly refuse to come back here, going back years, because they don't feel safe running into this person. I have personally spoken to management and the owner, as have others, and nothing has ever changed. He's still there every day doing the same stuff. Any response this review might get of "thank you for bringing this to our attention, this is not the experience we blahblahblah" is an outright lie. They know. They've known for years. This has been brought up to them in private by staff and patrons many times. They just haven't cared to bar one person because the 1-3 beers they purchase is evidently worth umpteen people feeling unsafe or uncomfortable. So it's an overall (2/5) 3/5 1. Good staff. 2. Good food. 3. Poor pay. 4. Creep. 5. Uncaring management. read more

I love their mixed drinks (the blue and the pink one, can't remember what it's called specifically). You need to sign a waiver to get in (and you can do so beforehand). There were so many friendly puppies there. It was a great place to hang out and meet others. I would definitely come back here for the vibes and for the cute pets that people bring. It's a bigger space than you would think, so definitely lots of room for pets to meander around! read more

Fell in love with this place first time coming here and signed up for their annual membership. One time membership would be 15 dollars per dog. And Also they offer military discount. Parking is not really a problem. What impressed me the most was the dogtenders they kept their eyes on our paw pals and making sure they all had a good time and no one was too aggressive or anything. I love this place! read more

Bar K - Dog Parks Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Let me start by saying I don't have a dog. Before I visited Bar K, I didn't even consider myself a dog person! Bar K is life changing. It is dog-heaven on earth. I was struck by the inclusive, friendly community. Not to mention, quality food and drink! As the Events board member for the KCMO Downtown Neighborhood Association, I helped organize a private event at Bar K for our members. Bar K owners and staff were professional and attentive in their assistance before and during the event. Their private room and balcony is the perfect place for any dog-lovers event. And even for people without, or hesitant about dogs! The private event space provided privacy, quiet, ADA accessibility, indoor/outdoor access, bathroom access, and table service. Keep the doors open and the dogs outside on their own private patio, or close the doors and invite the dogs to join the indoor party too! With it's diversity of spaces and seating, I could see Bar K being a great place to study or work alone, have a private chat, or party with a group. They've really thought of it all. Staff members were not only professional and attentive to human guests, but dogs as well. If a dog was behaving impolitely, staff would remove the dog from the area. Check their social media for tons of fun events for both humans and doggos alike. Bar K is an ingenious concept that is sure to be popping up at cities across the country. Kansas City is blessed to have it. read more

Dog lovers of the world, this is your jam. Dog owners, or just those who love dogs, both are welcome. Came here on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was hoppin'. So many pups, running around and chasing after one another. The place is huge!!!! So much space, multiple playgrounds, balls, and of course... lots of water bowls. Full bar inside, with a beer bar outside. Full menu as well, but really... we were only there for the dogs and a drink. Staff are all friendly and the dog parents are too. It's free roam for the pups, so you'll get ample opportunity to pet so many fluffers. Grab a drink, sit outside, and let the pets begin. read more

Been here quite a few times with no dog. It's always been enjoyable with great food and entertainment. Finally got a dog and brought him here. He seemed to really enjoy himself. Was constantly running around and enjoying new things. It's funny that you have to pay cover for your dog but oh well. Usually this place is always crowded and there is almost always a line. But the food is always tasty and who doesn't love hanging out with doggies!!! ‍ read more

Well folks, we've found doggie heaven on earth, hiding under the Missouri 9 bridge in KCMO. We were blown away by our first visit out to Bar K, but we weren't quite sure what this place was heading into it, so read on and I'll try to break it all down if you're curious: First of all, this place has ALL the perks for your dog(s); Tennis balls as far as you can see, stairs to run on, water to dive in, rock walls to scurry up, other dogs to frolic with, lots of room to run, a menu just for them, and even a little paw washer and sprayer as they head out. $10 per dog per visit, or an annual membership for $115. They even have staff armed with whistles and air horns in case the dogs are bringing any extra energy into the play sessions. If this were just a dog park, it would be one of the best around. "Well cool," you're probably thinking. "So it's like a souped up dog park?" It is, but here's where it gets really good. This place is as fun for humans as it is for your pup. Aside from the dog areas, there's a bar where they'll sling beers in heavy plastic cups so you can take them out into the main area to chill. Grab a seat, watch your dog wear themselves out and relax with friends. It keeps going.. There's both downstairs seating and an upstairs balcony overlooking everything where you can order food and drink, watch TV, and hang out with your (likely very tired) leashed pup. There's even an inside cafe to hang out in, but it's for people only at this time. Ran into a fellow Yelper here and they described the food as "better than you'd expect" which I think is apt. Curious to dig in a bit more on the next visit. So if you have a dog, even if you don't, this is a spot you'll want to check out 100 percent. The perfect place to pop over to if you have a few free hours on a weekend or after work, I'm so impressed and felt like I was in some hip part of California my whole time here. This kind of place shows me KC continues to build itself with new and innovative ideas. Just so impressed with the friendly staff and the way this space has thought of everything. read more

WOWSERS. This place is heaven for dogs, dog owners, and dog loving people. Simple concept, and well executed. I currently have no human kids and my dog is my child. He is spoiled and we are really active together- we're always on the go and love to travel together. The problem we run into the most is finding dog friendly businesses that allow him to stay with me when I am eating or socializing. Bar K is a unique and needed concept for dog owners who want to have fun but don't want to leave their dog cooped up at home all the time- and even better for people traveling through KC like us. BarK is restaurant/bar that has indoor and outdoor human drinking and eating options with a totally fenced perimeter that seconds as an interactive dog park. Indoor dining is human only, but you can leave your dog outside with the handlers to play (think, daycare but you're in the general vicinity). The patio is dog friendly with leash on- and I would say it's tolerable out there till about the 45 degree temps- you can get both food and drink here. The last option is the outdoor bar that bellies up to the dog park, and dogs roam around you freely playing while you sit at the bar or picnic tables with a beverage. In the colder weather they put up tents and have heaters. There is a membership program for locals that use the space as a dog park-so plenty of locals just coming to play with their dog and not even eating or using the dining/drink facilities. $10/day currently for a non member k9 pass, and the handlers and staff were great. Food was just OK (3 stars in my book but I'm a tough critic) but I honestly didn't care since the point of coming here was all about the dogs. Totally check is place out. Dog lover's paradise!!!!!! read more

Dog heaven! I visited with friends to get our pups some exercise for the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by Bar K. The dogs had a blast playing in the puppy yard while we had drinks, then the dogs were able to join us on the patio for lunch. Our waitress even brought them their own water bowl for the table. Honestly, this place didn't need to have great food to attract customers (the dogs are enough) but everything we ate was DELICIOUS. I'd come back just for the food. I had a tuna poke bowl which was super fresh and flavorful. Our table shared fries which were equally good. It was a good day for us and the dogs! read more

I'm giving five stars because the positives outweigh the negatives. If I wanted to review Bar K as a restaurant? Solid 3.5. There was food, I ate food. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. But you know what? That's OK, because you don't go to a Dog Park / Bar for fine dining. You go there to let your fur (friends/babies/children whatever you crazy kids call your dogs these days) run wild and free while you relax and knock back a beer or two (or eight if you're a professional) Also, it's not like an actual park where you look like a creeper for hanging around watching or interacting if you didn't bring your own 'kid' to play. I'm not a creeper: A Haiku Cause I have a friend Who happens to have a dog That plays at Bar-K I kind of want to get a dog now... read more

Bar K is such an amazing spot and an incredible use of space on a large lot of land! My furry friend is not a fan of dog parks but it never keeps me from visiting with friends who have dogs. Not only is the space large and great for social distancing, but their food is so good! For lunch I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it hit every spot! One of the things I love about Bar K is their recycling use of old shipping containers. I think it is such a great way to make new use of something old. There is also so much outdoor seating! The one suggestion I have is use Google Maps when trying to get directions, sometimes the Map app on IPhones doesn't quiet get you there and it can be confusing. Also if it's been rainy or wet make sure to bring a towel for your four legged friends! Bar K offers so many things and is so much more than your ordinary dog park. read more

There are a couple staff members who are also on duty to make sure that the dogs get along, and there's also plenty of seating areas for people both inside and outside. The bar has an outdoor back patio, inside seating, as well as outdoor balcony seating. The food I would say is pretty good and prices definitely reasonable! There's also a TV inside the bar so you can watch the dogs play outside while you relax in the air conditioning! read more

Great place to spend the afternoon. We were on a cross country road trip and always looking for a great pit stop to let the dogs stretch. My pups loved it.

There's a sprinkler and Tito's pool for the dogs to cool off in too. Lots of seating and picnic tables. read more

I have been skeptical about trying this place because there has been an extreme amount of hype and sometimes that leads to disappointment. The experience we had today was fantastic and we will definitely go back, and take friends. I don't love the idea of having to pay to get into a dog park, we have 3 dogs so it is pretty expensive just to get in the door. That being said, I think it was worth it. Our dogs had the time of their lives and honestly, the staff on hand breaking up any issues between animals made it worth the cost in itself. Make sure you bring towels, I didn't realize there was a dog pool and doggie cabanas, not to mention other muddy areas, I should have been more prepared (as you can see my Boston Terrier was in muddy water heaven). The cost of drinks was about the same as anywhere else. So no surprises there. Give this place a shot, I'm so glad we finally did! read more
