Came here on Saturday at around 5 for the first time. It was pretty slow, we had two dogs with us and there was maybe three others. But it was pretty hot out, and once the sun went down the party really started- there was upwards of 10 dogs when we left! The property is located out in Leander and is pretty rustic- the park is all dirt with lots of seating scattered throughout for humans (a fun vibe with mismatched chairs and tables of all styles and heights) and cute playground furniture for the doggos to run and jump on. There is plenty of tree shade as well, and water bowls set out for the pups. You check in at the bar and then can order drinks directly from a window in the dog park so you don't have to leave the fenced in park, which is nice. This dog park is super casual- no food served here, or cocktails. Just a nice straightforward (and reasonably priced) beer and wine menu. But really, what else do you need? Just some dogs, music (they had music playing) and a cold beer that comes with a cute coozie. The staff was so nice and really good with the dogs- they were there managing all the interactions and ensuring that nothing got tense. I really appreciated that. They do have doggie ice cream that you can purchase and have your dog eat outside of the park (no food allowed inside, makes a ton of sense). This place may not have jumbo screens and margaritas like some other dog parks- but that's fine by me for the relaxed and friendly vibe, reasonable prices, and staff that ensures all the dogs are safe and having fun! We can't wait to come back again- especially for one of their cool events! (pet psychics!) read more

Great place to chill with your pup and have a drink. The people are so friendly, staff is very accommodating and just overall relaxing place to be. Will be back more often. read more

Always amazing Make sure your dogs are vaccinated and neutered or spayed after 6 months. You're good to go with also a very safe place to take your dog!! read more

I have been a member for 3 years, it's such a great community! Sitting under the shady trees and enjoying a beer is a great weekend! Look how tired my boy is after spending time in the large yard! So many smells! read more

The Dog House has been an incredible experience for our pup, Sherlock. As a rescue, he needed a place that was safe and provided a controlled environment. A normal dog park (Cedar Bark Park) had uncontrollable variables, such as parents who didn't pay attention and aggressive dogs with no sense of parent ownership... and Sherlock didn't deserve any more trauma (or worse) than what he's already been through. Jodie has made this place heaven for Sherlock, and now it's almost every week that we go for socialization - not just for him, but now for us. The regulars are amazing people, and their dogs are cute and well behaved. What's most important to us is that Jodie (the owner) is attentive, knows everyone, and makes sure all dogs feel safe (with an attendant in with the dogs as well). What's surprising is in the summer, it isn't as hot as we thought it would be - coming around 6:30-7pm, there's more than enough shade for humans and pups! I didn't think we'd find a place as awesome as this, but... we did. Membership was 100% worth it with how much we go. Thanks Jodie, you've made a lasting forever impression for us and Sherlock. read more

I love this place. We come almost every day. Everyone is great and they take care of unruly dogs when that occurs, which is rarely. So much better than those corporate dog parks like mutts Highly recommend it to everyone read more

This place is Valhalla for dogs, y'all, and it's especially magical for healing a darling dog daughter named Dixie and her owners' devastated hearts! All three of us just suddenly lost our dog son and Dixie's ride-or-die brother, Dylan, this week, so we've all been trying to distract ourselves from our utter heartbreak with Austin adventures, and Doghouse Drinkery has been just the medical prescription for that. This is literally and non-hyperbolically the most zen and at peace that we've all been in four days! A thousand million thanks and licks, Doghouse Drinkery! Truly. We SO needed this! read more

Doghouse Drinkery Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Leander, Texas

While dog parks are "for the dogs" they can provide for a relaxing time for the owners as well. The Dog House in Leander is a very easy to access facility for our beloved furry ones to acclimate themselves and interact with other dogs in a safe atmosphere. As for the owner, there's plenty of parking and adult beverages are available for the owners to indulge in as they let the pooches get some exercise. After checking in for a small fee and signing wavers, you and your four-legged family member go through the gates to a huge field with lawn chairs, tables and all sorts of obstacles for the canines to check out. When I went all of the animals seemed well behaved while obviously being curious about the rear ends of all their new found friends. After plenty of sniffing, it's very interesting to see how the pack mentality works for the many different breeds that are running around. I saw a "height challenged" dachshund and boxer mix run over an elevated plank obstacle, a husky run away from a poodle, and a three-legged black lab run circles around the 10 or so dogs that were galloping in the yard. Luckily my chair was right under an oak providing shade for me and my beer of choice while maintaining a discerning eye. If you're a new dog owner it's a very good idea to get your dog used to other dogs as it will make them better pets. The Dog House is a very safe environment for your pooch to practice their social skills. Now, if you're an owner with an older dog, perhaps Fido would enjoy getting out and stretching the legs a little bit or finally if you have a highly energetic breed this should definitely be on your list of places to visit to burn off some energy. Overall, I enjoyed the park and did the doggie so I give The Dog House 2 paws up! read more

Great place for dogs and people, too! Lots of space for dogs to run and play. And plenty of shady seating for humans.

What a chill place! Our pup, Willow, was so happy to hang with a great group of other fur friends. Jodi was great (good to see ya again). Highly recommend for place for cool pups and colder brews! read more

We love this dog park. We've been visiting regularly for years and never had a bad experience. Fun and relaxing environment to bring your dogs. The owner, Jodi is always on top of everything, and really enjoys her job! She also allows and partakes in many fundraisers to help animals. The music, scenery and people make it an enjoyable atmosphere. We live about 20-25 minutes away and try to do at least a weekly visit when the weather is nice. read more

My wife and I were thrilled when finding Dog House Drinkery. First, the dog park is one of the largest we've been to when trying out dog park bars. Huge area for the dogs to run around, featuring obstacles, pools to cool off, tennis balls, plenty of drinking water, and plenty of shade. The music selection for both the dog park and inside the bar area is perfect, every song chosen a banger. Next, the person running the bar (sorry I didn't ask your name!) is absolutely wonderful. Incredibly hospitable, friendly, and, of course, a major dog person. She had no issue with our curious dog wanting to beg for all the treats. Dogs are allowed inside to cool off if needed, and the indoor space features pool, a ping pong table, and foosball. They offer a variety of drink options including a multitude of different beers, ciders, seltzers, and wine. Also some snacks to chow down on. Don't forget the pup! They have in-house made doggy ice cream, which our pup absolutely loved! They also feature trivia every Wednesday night! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and look forward to visiting many more times in the future. If you're searching for a dog friendly bar, as I was, look no further. This is your spot! read more

Best dog park in Central Texas. I have been a member since it opened 13 years ago. The owner and park attendants monitor for any issues--owner or dog instigated. Very reasonable membership and daily fees, especially if you more than 1 dog. Great beer and wine selection. Had our wedding reception there a decade ago! Have made lifelong friends. I now live in Bastrop, and it is still very much worth the drive! My dogs go nuts when I say we are going to the "dog house:" They have lots of benefits for area shelters. Great woman-owned local business to support! read more

We've been members for five years and have found other owners to be attentive and friendly. Dog owners at many other parks we have been to are not paying attention to their dogs while they socialize, not the case here. Patrons and staff are all sincere dog lovers. Your dog will have a blast! read more

Been to this dog park/drinkery once before COVID, and I will tell you it was a good experience. Decided we wanted to return with our neighbor who is an avid Dog House Drinkery resident. Unfortunately, I can't say our experience was positive this time. To start off, we walk up to the front where you pay your $8 admission fee (no biggie). They ask to see your dog's vaccination status (no biggie) in which as soon as I bring my dog around the corner, the lady in the front gave a not-so-friendly welcoming look. My fiancé asks out of habit if the Dog House Drinkery has Ranch Water, in which the lady working the front states "well we have a menu and visual aids right here." (our faces to be exact). So we said, "okay, thanks" then ordered our drinks. Good selection of drinks and priced fair. So, as we are paying for our drinks, the lady looks over the bar at our dog and gives the look she did before. Cool. ***Come to find out, the lady in the front is the owner! Not a great way to welcome guests. *** So we continued to walk him over, while still on his leash so he can explore and get accustomed to the other dogs and what not. He goes potty (#2) and I pick it up. I throw away the poop bag in the garbage next to where my dog pooped. Come to find out, the pet attendant asks me "oh did you throw your poop bag away?" Of course I said yes because who leaves poop or poop bags in public areas. She proceeds to tell me it needs to go in 1 of 2 trash cans allllll the way in the back of the park. I get it - no smelly park. But I didn't know that. There were no signs. She proceeds to state "well I don't want you to go through the trash." Well, I got the trash bag of poop and walked towards the back corner of the dog park to throw it away. So, We go into the dog park - no issues. My fiancé, me and our neighbor kept a watch and close eye on our dogs. No issues. Our dog comes back to us and another black furry dog comes in and sniffs our dog's junk (no biggie) but our dog didn't enjoy that and became irritated which we were able to redirect. One of the pet attendants came up to us after we redirected the dogs and I stated that the other dog became too nosy, which is what all dogs do. However, the attendant states "well your dog has been trying to hump every dog in here." FALSE. I and my fiancé, as well as my neighbor who knows our dog, watched and there were NO incidents of humping. She states that the black furry dog does have some alpha-issues but he's good. Our dog did connect with another dog, whom the owner and I came to mutual understanding that ALL dogs have personalities like people and that we were able to redirect with no issues. Later this lady and her dog hung out with us-no issues. Later towards the time we were going to leave, the pet attendant comes out with her cell phone and took a pic of us and our dogs at our table WITHOUT our permission and walks away. The pet attendant kept making snarky remarks at us with no reasoning. Making comments about our dog while he was just laying down. Wow. Immediately stated we will NOT be returning as we did NOT have a positive experience and felt as though our dog and us were completely judged... right off the bat. Our dog did have a good time though, as pictured below. read more

When I moved here in 2018, I was so so excited to find out about this place. Our 3 month old puppy was always very social, and he loved running around after the pack of dogs zooming around, making friends, and soaking in the water buckets to cool off. The best part of this place is that they have staff inside the park to make sure interactions stay friendly, and intervene if someone's dog is getting too feisty. There is a bar and bathrooms onsite, and if there's not a food truck parked in the lot, you can have food delivered to the bar. You can choose a day pass (per dog), or you can sign up for the annual membership. We made some great doggy and human friends. To no fault of Dog Haus, we stopped going, as our second dog was very socially insecure and did not enjoy the attention of even well-intentioned dogs. I also really appreciated that they only allowed dogs who have received their vaccinations and were spayed/neutered, so there was no fear of an unplanned litter. There should be a Dog Haus in every city. read more

Horrible excuse for a dog park they charged me 11.00 for my dog to run around in a tiny little area. My dogs are small and a big dog/puppy was there who troppled all over my Yorkies and jumped all over me got me all muddy! Please if your dog is untrained about proper etiquette they should be leashed until they learn manners!!!!!rude!!!!! read more

I am so glad this place is there. We took 2 of our dogs last night. It was fun for them and us. The staff were welcoming. Good selection of beer and wine. It is a laid back, easy place to relax. All the dogs there were well behaved and if someone got feisty they had a worker that would spray the dog with a small squirt bottle to make them chill out. It worked well. They also have a giant sprinkler fire hydrant and a small plastic pool for the dogs that like water. read more

Doghouse Drinkery Dog Park - Lil Luna making fast friends. - Dog Parks Near Me - Leander, Texas

My dog and I have frequented this spot often this spring with various experiences, both good and bad. I've met some great people there and some jerks. The jerks are the ones who seem to think their bully dogs are cute, or they don't pay any attention to the fact that their dog keeps slamming another dog to the ground. There are just not enough refs many times and that must be a thankless job when they have to walk a balance beam of not pissing off one customer and not pissing off the OTHER customers. So go, but keep your eyes open and be the human your dog thinks you are. read more

Dog parents unite!! What I love about Doghouse Drinkery is that there is ample room for your pups to play around in their spacious backyard. What I don't like, is how there aren't many draft beers here. IT'S AUSTIN! The bottled beers are up-priced. If you're wanting bottled beer, just stay at home where you can enjoy your six-pack in peace. It's more cost efficient anyway! The drive just isn't worth it if you're a beer-snob. *NOTE: if your pup is not neutered/spayed, this place is not for you. They have tables in the front of the drinkery, but no play space. read more

Out of all the fenced off leash dog parks in Austin this has been my favorite one by a long shot due to it's relaxed, down to earth vibe. We take our dog, a shepherd husky mix called Bianca at least 3-4 times a week. She loves it. What's nice about the Drinkery is the chaperones that keep an eye out for any unruly behavior between the dogs and are on top of it, which gives owners a chance to relax and unwind somewhat. The bar area is awesome too, and the ladies running it are always friendly. Would highly recommend a yearly membership here, which is very reasonably priced. The addition of live music, adoption and food events/cookoffs here makes coming on the weekend even more awesome. The recent BBQ cook off held on site was a ton of fun, and they have occasional rotating food trucks (Urban Lobster was amazing!). It's an awesome gem for any dog owner! read more

We had a great time tonight at Doghouse. They have a good beer, cider and wine/spritzer selection. The venue is outside with tables social distanced with chairs, picnic tables and umbrellas. My two goldendoodles loved it! They made so many new dog and human friends and their was an attendant on staff to monitor the dogs from getting loose when new guests arrived. Jodi, the owner was very personable and welcoming. We learned that they hold trivia on Wednesday nights and we are looking forward to coming back! read more

First time here and we will definitely be back. Owner was behind the bar and she was super friendly and helpful. Our dog had his best day.

Totally worth the drive from Austin for us! Our dog LOVES the Doghouse Drinkery Dog Park. The staff here is amazing, and the park has tons of seating options and lots of shade! The beer prices are totally reasonable and the bar area is great if you want a break from the dog park action. They have lots of water bowls for the dogs and several tubs of water for them to take a dip in and cool off. Highly recommend this place, it's worth the drive if you're worried it's too far! read more
