The Hoppy Hound
Introducing our very first dog bar … because good dogs deserve great drinks too!
Step right up to The Hoppy Hound, the newest hangout where canine companions get to enjoy a little bar-time fun of their own. This pup‑friendly pop‑up is designed with our four‑legged VIPs in mind, where dogs can belly up for pup cups and doggie “beer” (bone broth, of course) and sniff out a selection of tail‑wag‑approved treats available for purchase. It's the perfect spot to relax, refresh, and celebrate the goodest boys and girls around!
