Still five stars for me. The convenience and professionalism is what keeps my review at a five star. Nicole is absolutely fabulous with my Frenchie, who can be a bit nervous and reactive when coming in. She calms him down, and does an amazing job on his nails. read more

This place is cool! I needed to give my dog some doggy time while we were traveling so we came here so the bf could have a beer too. Absolutely perfect! read more

Went to Growlerz for the first time tonight and my 2 year old lil Boston Terrier had the time of his life! Was playing and having a blast the whole time. Folks there were super communicative and helpful in getting a lay of the land. The dogs were very friendly and the people were welcoming and had only glowing things to say about the space. Drinks were reasonably priced, and the cover to get in for my pup was very affordable. Already wish there were more places like this, but I'm glad to have found such a spot! Excited to go back soon :) read more

This is a great space for dogs and their humans. Daycare is wonderful, well priced, and my pup leaves happily exhausted. Adult beverages in the evenings and weekends and fun events for Pride, Halloween, and the holidays? It's our favorite spot, and our dogs too. read more

Growlerz Seattle - White dog "smiling" with beer headband on at 'Barktoberfest'. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Growlerz is my third place. I can't think of many things I like more than watching dogs play and having a beer. Patrons are easygoing, owners are friendly - good vibes all around. read more

WE LOVE GROWLERZ! Our dog Simba knows the word "Growlerz" and will perk up whenever we say it. When we walk by he always insists on pulling as hard as he can towards the door! The staff there are all super friendly and nice, and they clearly all LOVE dogs. We feel incredibly welcomed every time we visit with Simba. The membership is very decently priced, and their drinks are incredibly well priced too! They don't serve food but we love being able to bring our own food and eat while Simba runs around. I always look forward to their weekly newsletters. They hold weekly trivia events and have different drink discounts on many different days of the week. They also sometimes host fun events - e.g. dog photographer, casino night, etc. They're also constantly doing renovations - they recently got fancy TVs to display their menu and they are getting their turf redone this week. FYI they do have a no-excessive-barking policy and require vaccinations and spay/neuter. As a result, the dogs inside are always very nice - sometimes I hear scary stories at public dog parks about aggression and we have never encountered anything like that at Growlerz! Best of all, even though we live in an apartment where we don't have a large fenced yard, our pup Simba is able to get the outside time he needs. We love you Growlerz :) read more

Growlerz Seattle - a golden retriever laying on the grass - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my Seattle happy place. Super cute, friendly dogs at the park. And really nice and kind staff that are true dog lovers. Growlerz is a great part of the Columbia City community and they host frequent themed events and have rotating beers/alcoholic, non-alcoholic beverages, and some snacks. They host trivia, drag bingo, soup cookoffs, beer tasting events, Halloween party w/a costume contest, etc. They are very inclusive and accepting of all people. A really inviting place, where it is easy to make a friend (dog or human). No dog is required to enter the dog park, but dogs have so much fun playing, bring your doggos here if you can. Dogs are safe, supported, and adored here. Nice on a sunny Seattle day, but also when it's colder and rainy. Growlerz has heaters and covered areas to enjoy the space year-round. read more

This is my single favorite place to take my Basenji, Maya, in all of Seattle! I'm a local and I've been taking Maya to Growerlz for several years now. Growlerz is a fantastic play park for dogs with a social atmosphere for adults. Dogs are well-vetted and monitored and I never have to worry about Maya's safety, unlike at public parks. Rates are very fair and competitive for the area. The turf is kept clean and the facilities are secure and well-lit, with covered spaces and fire pits for adults to keep warm by in the cold winter months. They offer beer, wine, and other beverages at a discount on Tuesday's. I run into other regulars often. The owners and staff including Caryn, Carl, et. al. are super friendly and run the place with attention to detail. There are frequent events throughout the year such as "Barktoberfest," a Christmas bazaar, Pride month, and so on. Growlerz feels like an extension of my life at this point. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

I've been taking my dog, Eleanor, to Growlerz since they first opened in 2020, and it is her favorite place to be. Because the park is artificial turf, she can play hard and not be dirty and muddy like if I take her to the local public off-leash. There is a great sense of community here. The owners, Caryn and Karl know all the dogs, and do a great job making everyone feel at home. All their staff, past and present are wonderful: They've got a great selection of local beers on tap (which you can also bring home in a growler) and they have regular events here like trivia, bingo, and the occasional food truck. There are many dogs that are regulars, so dog owners all get to know each other's dogs and help make sure all dogs here have a safe and fun place to play. Eleanor especially has her favorite human regulars and pup pals here. Whether it's for park play or for doggy day care, Eleanor and I highly recommend bringing your pup to Growlerz! read more

My firsthand experience as a customer of Growlerz Seattle has been poor. I have not been allowed to bring my dog because I refuse to castrate him without sound medical justification. In fact, their requirement that "ALL dogs over 7 months of age must be spayed/neutered." is medically harmful - dogs have not finished developing at that age and those hormones are necessary for regular healthy growth. read more

Unsafe and dogs barking and fighting. I was visiting a friend and we went here. The place was horrible and dogs were miserable and freaking out the whole time. read more

This place is a saving grace for us! We take our 14 month old Doberman here for daycare and the play park on the weekends! She has so much fun and comes home tired every day. The play park is great for grabbing a drink while your dog plays! read more

Growlerz Seattle - Back area - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best trivia in town! Trivia is Wednesday night at 7pm each week with a $2/person buy in. Winners take the pot! Soooo much fun!

My dogs' favorite dog park. Huge outdoor area where the dogs can run themselves ragged. Much cleaner than a standard dog park and it lets us kick back and have a drink or two. The two owners Caryn and Karl are amazing, very caring with all the customers and the dogs. They tend to have weekly events where they bring in food trucks, groomers, photographers etc. Sports games often are on the television, Sounders sometimes even on the big screen! A lot of other dog parks let the puppy come home with a lot of pent-up energy, but she's always completely exhausted at this location. All the other dog owners seem to be very caring and maintain their dogs behavior well. And there's also a great assortment of craft beers, ciders and local wines available. read more

This place is the BEST place that hit Seattle! We live right down the street and will be here weekly to enjoy: - The outdoor/covered fire pits - Food trucks - Beer/Wine selection The ability to sit by the fire, let the dogs play, drink wine, and catch up with friends is the COOLEST thing ever. Karen the owner is awesome too! read more

I think my dog loves coming here more than being at home. This is like his dream house. Hes here for day care and when he comes here to hang out, he forgets that I exist and plops on the couch, tail wagging. When we even get close to the street like down the block, he starts wagging his tail, ready to run to the building. I think Karl is his favorite person in the world. :) I'm so grateful that Growlerz exists! Its fun for dogs and humans alike! Awesome beer selection, staff and just an amazing concept. Your dog gets to run around, unlike a typical patio and you get to drink beers. What more can you ask for! read more

Our dog is a bit shy but the setup of Growlerz gave her the opportunity to branch out at her own speed while being able to circle back to us whenever she got uncomfortable! The staff took the time to say hello to our dog and remembered her name at the end of the visit, Growlerz is an awesome spot to meet up with friends and include your pup! read more

Such a fun place! Grab a beer and watch your dog play. Perfect spot to meet up with friends who are also dog dads/moms, or even come without a dog and watch everyone else's dogs play! read more

Growlerz Seattle - two dogs playing with a water bowl - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here last night for a beer, we don't have a dog but it was SO great, during this Covid time, to sit outside in a HUGE open space, have a great beer, and watch all the dogs playing- it was so much better than going to a movie! The owner is absolutely fantastic-so friendly and real, two thumbs up. Will definitely be back and will try to support them by posting on Facebook, letting friends know, etc. Want this business to flourish and stay. Even in winter we'll be able to go there, have a drink and hang out, lots of covered spaces. This is a real win for South Seattle!!! read more

This place is pure gold! Took our pup for a COVID-safe and dog-friendly meet-up with a friend and had a perfect Sunday afternoon. The owner, Caryn, creates such a welcoming atmosphere, and she has an incredible touch with dogs. I can't wait to come back again to sip a tasty beverage and also take advantage of the doggy day care service! read more

Growlerz Seattle - My pup (right) made a ton of friends on Sunday. - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Amazing spot! The owner is so kind and might I say.. a dog whisperer? Great vibes. Everyone there had full control of their dog and knew their temperament. Had the best time with our pup. read more

My dog has been INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHED by reception lady. I bought my first dog about 4 weeks ago. Previous owner gave me some vet receipts and told that dog is neutered and have microchip. I brought my dog at Growlerz. No one asked me any questions other if I want to buy a drink and keep my tab open. After some playing, reception lady was calling my dog but he was playing with other dog at that time. I was cold and went to covered space with fire pit. Reception lady came and asked to pet my dog. After some time because of my dog face expression I understood that all that time she was touching my dog genitals. So she lied to me that she wanted to pet my dog. She told me that my dog is not neutered and I supposed to go to see a vet. I've seen a vet a day before and provided vaccinations record. I have not been told that my dog is not neutered or I have to do it. Anyway THAT LADY supposed to tell me that she will touch my dog genitals and what's the reason instead of lying she just want to pet my dog. I feel assaulted as well as my dog. No one, especially her have a right to touch my dog's genitals without my permission and tell me what I have to do. Additionally I can't tell anything good about that park. All artificial grass is soaking in poopy water as well as your shoes. Just terrible and humiliating experience. PLEASE protect your pets!!!! read more

Growlerz is a great place to hangout with your dog and have a cold beverage! There is lots of space for the dogs to run around, the turf will come in handy in the wetter season and in COVID times it is easy to keep your distance. We brought our pup to hangout as well as for daycare & the owners are great, easy to work with and talk to, plus they offer training during daycare sessions. Highly recommend! read more

In town for my sons wedding. Caryn and Growlerz were fantastic. They took awesome care of our 51/2 Mo Lab. For two days so we could concentrate on wedding festivities. Professional, friendly , and clean facility with awesome employees. Gerry greeted both myself and Raven by name both mornings. I highly recommend Growlerz for doggy daycare. We will be back next month. read more

I am so grateful for a place that is clean, feels safe, is well lit, and has great dogs for my pup to run around with! This is the perfect place for a socially distanced beer and for dogs and humans alike to meet their neighbors! read more

This was such a fun idea! We brought our pup here on a Friday night and there was quite the crowd wine free play opened. We were able to bring in our own dinner and order drinks at their bar. read more

My pup and I LOVE Growlerz! I adopted my new pup at the beginning of the pandemic and after his vaccinations I wanted him to be socialized with other dogs but hearing a lot of horror stories about public dog parks I was hesitant. After looking around I found out that Growlerz just opened up for day care and was a quick walk from my house! The fact that all dogs require vaccination for entry and that dogs at day care went through temperament testing was reassuring to hear as a nervous dog parent. From the very first email and interaction Caryn and Karl were very welcoming and responsive. You can definitely tell how much they love dogs. I dropped my pup off for temperament testing and shortly after Caryn said he passed and is welcome to stay for the full day. My pup came home with a great report card and was very tired and happy - I was sold! He's 8 months old now and we go to day care at least 2x a week and the results from this daily exercise and interaction with other dogs have been fantastic. He recently started taking training classes during day care with Elisa and I continue to see improvement every week. We also go to play park on the weekends and all the owners that come in are friendly, responsible, and keep an eye on their dogs. The bar is also a huge plus ;) All of this while practicing safe social distancing of course. My dog and I are so grateful that Caryn and Karl have created this space for dog lovers! I highly recommend! read more
