Dog Park and Beer Garden – Barkyard n’ Brews
Barkyard n’ Brews is a leash-free dog park and beer garden located at 817 NW First Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (33311). The veteran-owned and operated venue pairs an off-leash play area for dogs with a bar and food service for their owners, billing itself as a premier destination of its kind in the state and a place where both two-legged and four-legged family members can spend time together.
The facility provides a supervised, fenced space for dogs to socialize off-leash while guests relax and order drinks. To enter the park, dogs must be spayed or neutered by ten months of age and current on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations, a policy aimed at keeping the shared environment safe for all visitors. Grooming services are listed as coming soon on the website.
On the beverage side, the beer garden pours a rotating selection of local craft, domestic, and imported beers on tap and offers bottles and cans as well. The bar also serves wines, craft cocktails, coffees, and sodas, providing options for guests who are not drinking beer. Food is available on site, rounding out the experience for longer visits.
Hours run Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the dog park open on Sundays as well. The business operates seven days a week except during extreme weather, and closing times can depend on how busy the park is on a given day.
Barkyard n’ Brews promotes a membership program with benefits highlighted on its website and maintains an active presence on Facebook and Instagram.
