    After a Sunday drive, we came across Hounds & Tap on the way home and stopped to wet our whistle. We were surprised to find out that this place is not only a tavern, but primarily a doggy daycare, grooming and boarding location. And get this: the tavern has a large outside (and inside) dog park. Well, we love dogs and cats (more than most people, except Yelp folks, of course, LOL!), and really enjoyed our visit here. We were greeted by and spoke to Jeff, the owner, who was such a friendly, informative and interesting guy. He made us feel very welcome and told us that a lot of folks, just like us, come to the location for a drink without a dog and, like us, enjoy the company of the others' dogs. We noticed that the outside patio "park" area was full of dogs and folks today, all enjoying the great weather today (5/22/22); tails a-waggin' and smiles on owners' and non-owners' faces. We can't wait to come back here to kick back, enjoy a beer and watch the fun, again.

    Dog sitters are great here. You can enjoy a drink while they take care of the dogs. Did notice a rule change on poop scooping but that's ok. Really enjoyed their tasty drinks and food trucks.

    Belly up with your Pup! This place is genius! Dog park meets bar, with great drinks, fast service, and all kinds of dog friendly fun. We've been here for a number of events including Bucks and Packers watch parties, dog birthdays, and fundraisers. We only wish it was a little closer to downtown MKE so we could get here more often! Great concept!

    I take both the pups here for grooming services. They do a great job. And I finally got to experience the bar area- it didn't disappoint. A great way to exercise your dog AND have an adult beverage. There is even a dog chaperone provided to make sure all is well.

    Heard about this place for quite some time and thought I'd check it out with a friend. Not my cup of tea as there was a lot of aggressive behavior with the dogs. The drinks out of a can? Are very expensive at $10 plus tip came to $13 which didn't even taste like what I ordered. Mai Tai it's supposed to be rum based, and even the color was off as Carmel when it's supposed to be bright red orange. The food truck was pretty good with sliders of different varieties. The staff is very friendly and attentive with the animals. When there was too much aggression dogs were separated which was welcoming. But there was one dog that was totally missed behaving and jumping on tables. Does not make me want to sit at a table that's been stepped on and drooled upon repeatedly.

    My friends and I took our dogs for a fun Saturday afternoon play date to the Hounds & Tap. It was a fun and friendly place for both humans and dogs. They have a selection of beers and seltzer for purchase and plenty of fresh water for the dogs. It was fun to let the dogs run around and play, with some extra supervision from the staff. There are a few obstacles and wading pools for the dogs to enjoy. Can get crowded when the weather is nice though.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. They have truly gone above and beyond with all of the services we've used for our 6 month old golden retriever. We've done the dog park, day camp, and boarding and feel so comfortable that we are leaving our puppy in good hands each and every time. So appreciative for finding The Hounds & Tap and we would recommend to anyone!

    Exceeded expectations!! Come for a beer, watch a big screen, nosh on some food truck delights, laugh at the adorable fur balls running around and rest assured that the crazy kind staff who monitor it all are helping the fur parents keep it all cool. My new happy place!!!

    See all

    We board our dog at TH&T and Moe is always happy to go back, and there's no better proof than that.

    FOR A SAFE KENNEL EXPERIENCE GO ANYWHERE ELSE!…read more I'm usually very hesitant to write bad reviews about businesses as my industry is largely influenced by online reputation. However, my experience was so bad with this kennel that I wanted to get the word out to other pet owners. When you first drive up to the place, you see how run down it looks. There are boards over some of the windows and a leaking A/C unit right in the front. I can definitely get past the look of a place, so we brought our 6 month old puppy inside for a stay. The smell was horrendous. I have been to many kennels in my life and have come to expect a pet smell, but this was very clearly urine and feces. One good thing about this place is the lady behind the kennel clearly loves animals. She was very excited to meet our pup. But, after petting him, she began to give us lessons on how to train him and said "you will learn this as you get experience with kennels". She was very rude and acted like we were bad dog parents for kneeling down to pet our dog goodbye... We were informed of the 30 minute pick-up window on Sundays (8PM-8:30PM) before we dropped our dog off, and reluctantly agreed because we didn't want to pay for another day. When we were back in town on Sunday, I called to see if we could pick up our dog at 7:45PM instead of 8PM and was told that "ringing the doorbell before 8PM makes the dogs potty in their kennels." She also informed me that 8PM was the LAST TIME that the dogs were let out to go to the bathroom for the night... Our dog was there for one night, and we provided enough food for 3 days easily. The food was completely gone by Sunday! And, the woman said that she had to feed him some other food because we didn't leave enough. We did not gave her permission to do this before hand, as our dog had been having food sensitivity issues, but she did it anyways. When she brought our dog out, he did not have his collar on. His collar had his tags with contact info and his rabies tag. I can't imagine what would have happened to our pup if he had gotten out of this run down kennel. A loose dog on a busy street (107th) with no collar or tags would never survive. She again began to reprimand me for kneeling down to greet my dog. I paid and got him out of there as soon as I could. He was so nervous and anxious that he flinched away from me when i went to pet him. My dog loves everyone and has never shown behavior like that at other kennels. DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOG HERE! Waste of money and bad for the pups. They are only let out 4 times a day, 4 hours apart. Terrible experience.

    A Lifesaver in a Time of Crisis…read more After experiencing a house fire, our family was faced with the overwhelming task of finding a safe and loving place for our two cats while we rebuilt. That's when Mel at Tiny Tails Lodge came to our rescue. For six months, our cats were in her care, and throughout that time, she treated them with incredible kindness and attention. Knowing that our pets were safe and well cared for gave our entire family--especially our children--peace of mind during an incredibly stressful time. Mel's dedication and love for animals were evident in every update and interaction we had with her. Now that our cats are back home, they have adjusted beautifully, and we know this is because of the stability and care they received while with Mel. We cannot thank Tiny Tails Lodge enough for being there when we needed them most. If you're looking for a place where your pets will be truly loved and cared for, this is it. Highly recommend!

She sent me pictures of my furry buddy every day. When I go on trips, I know Loggins has an even better time than I did. She limits the number of animals she keeps there, and they get so much individual attention! They have so much room I almost feel bad for the home he returns to when he gets home. You will not regret keeping your animal at Tiny Tails Lodge where Mel somehow is able to love your pet as much as you do!

    As promised, I have boarded my dog as well as my sister's pup for an 8 day stay. The pre-stay…read morecommunication was really good. We were able to add details we wanted to the portal. In our case we brought our own food, and asked for a mid-day nap for our pups to be put back into their room together. My dog is 60 lbs and my sister's dog is 13 lbs, so they spend the days with their own size friends but giving them a break together mid-day was good for them. We got pictures regularly which is always a nice way to relax on vacation. When we picked up our pups they were exhausted, as expected. Both were ready to go home, but we felt sure that they had been well cared for every day. Paying for extras is worth it for our peace of mind, and knowing our dog's daily schedule is different but some parts are the same lets us feel like we have done the best we can when we have to board them. The bath required on the last day is helpful, but my dog's ears were highly matted and I had to cut out the knots when I got him home. I understand that this was from his activities with other dogs, but I also had to remember that the bath is not a groom, just a cleaning. I had planned a full groom for my pup shortly after we got home. Thank you to Ben for being so good with the dogs. I believe everyone here does their best to treat the dogs with kindness and we are already feeling good about planning our next trip, knowing we have a good option for boarding with confidence.
