Paws and Pints is a wonderful place to bring your dog for safe and well maintained play. Dogs are allowed indoors in a play area, in a small fenced in fetch area, and a large outdoor play area. In the winters there are great opportunities for pups to duck outside to play then come indoors to warm up. The food is fine--bar food. Big TVs that play sports events can be found indoors and outside. Dogs can be on leash on the restaurant's patio or covered patio. They are not allowed indoors at the bar. read more

This place is incredible for you and your dog. You can't help but smile and feel joy as soon as you walk in! They offer a plethora of services for your dog as in daycare, grooming, boarding, training, and many many more. Offer a dog park class if your dog needs help being around others in a stimulating environment. The grounds crew are absolutely incredible and are on top of all situations helping you with whatever you need. I highly recommend asking questions to the grounds crew in the dog park area about anything you might want to know they will help you.They do offer food and beverage service and haven't had the best experience when it comes to ordering food, but if you are looking for a bite to eat with friends without your dog service shouldn't be an issue. This is a dogs dream hangout spot for you to create amazing memories together. read more

Fun place for dogs and people alike! Really nice set up with an indoor and outdoor dog park and a bar with a patio. Dogs are not allowed in the bar but you can leave your pup in the dog park while you eat or bring your dog out on the patio. Special menu for dogs - my dog liked the meatballs quite a lot! Cocktails were delicious and we enjoyed the tacos and the salmon BLT wrap. read more

4/5 stars. Great experience for my dogs! I loved the food. Perfect social time for the dogs. The staff was great though they should probably communicate more Now the more negative part- Children were grabbing and picking up my dogs. Kids were playing inside dog structures. The foods a little pricy but it makes up for it with how great it is. read more

My small dog loves to come to this dog park. He gets along well with other dogs large and small. My concern is with management- there seems to be no concern shown when a human is seriously injured. I have contacted them 4 times since my accident there on2/16/24. They canted be worried about litigation since a pet owner signs a gazillion Releases before stepping foot on the dog park premises . Can anyone address this lack of caring? Is this attitude good business? read more

Absolutely wonderful place to take dogs. Best dog park ever. Bar none. P and P is the best!!!! read more

Brandon the groomer is very good. I continued to give Paws and Pints a try even though previous to Brandon I had some poor grooming Experience. For a person the app and appt system it is very awkward and not user friendly. There was a problem with the appt I had scheduled. I was trying to get it corrected and find a solution. What is most upsetting is the way I was treated by the manager I talked to. She was very unsympathetic and rude in my opinion. I am Very disappointed that the appt I wrote down and made IN person when I left my last appt was either changed or input incorrectly. read more

This is gonna be a tough one. I came from New York to this lovely area to try out the food since I've been hearing this is the place to go to have a different experience. I gotta tell you the service is awful I haven't been asked once throughout the whole 45 minutes being here if I needed a refill on my drink or if I had any concerns to the food I was eating, but I could tell you to stay away from the Mexican street corn it had way to much blue cheese or whatever cheese I was eating. I definitely don't recommend the restaurant part of the facility. It wasn't worth it. Trust me. read more

Amazing place! We were driving cross country with our 3 dogs and really needed a spot for them to get some energy out...and for us to have a drink. I wish there were places like this everywhere! Great food, great drinks, and tons of room for the dogs to get that road energy out. read more

The dog park and area was a 10/10. The staff kindly removed an aggressive dog that stomped on my friends' puppy and the puppy had a blast! The restaurant side needs some work. I didn't catch the servers name but her last name was Fregoli? Maybe? As a fellow server, you have to read your audience. She didn't and made us all uncomfortable and I couldn't tell if it was her personality but she was so scatter brained. There were about 5 or less tables and most were 2 to 3 tops. The food was cold. She mixed up my receipt with my friends receipts and overcharged me. She didn't know what the condiments available for chicken tenders were? When I asked for the receipt it took her about 10 minutes to print a receipt. They use Toast so it should've taken less than 2. I think she needs additional training if i'm being honest. Aside from the not so good experience at the restaurant the vibe was chill and there weren't too many people. Overall 2/5 read more

This place is so amazing. I cannot express how much I love our groomer Sandra!!! She is so wonderful with my puppy Vlad. She goes way above and beyond for service. You can tell she has a real connection with animals. This place is a must do!! And Sandra is the groomer to ask for I love you . read more

This is not a place you can just drop in with your dog and grab a bite or drink. There is a whole registration process requiring Fido's vaccinations. Not what we were hoping it would be so we didn't stay. read more

The waitresses were indifferent. We had to wait until one of them had finished clearing off tables to get a menu. You have to pay up before ordering. They had no clue as to what the rotating draft beers were at the time we visited (couldn't they have at least been given a list??) We finally gave up towards the end and had to track down a waitress to get our check. Food was ok. read more

A dog mom's heaven! Paws & Pints has so much to offer for your fur baby. Some of the features I loved were: workers who could supervise your dog as you got a drink, a huuuuuge dog park with so many fun features being built, indoor and outdoor play spaces for your dog and delicious food and drink! Our Winston had so much fun and will definitely be back! read more

Paws and Pints - Dog Parks Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Such a fun place! The only reason I am only giving it 4 stars is because the indoor dog area is pretty small. You would think that since we are in Iowa that they would've made this area a lot bigger considering our weather is not great 60% of the year. I was also disappointed that the large outdoor dog park has been closed for various reasons each time we have gone. I feel like admission should be discounted on these days where the whole facility isn't available. read more

It is so great when a business can take feedback even when it's not the most positive and turn it into something positive. I have watched processes, technology, staff, facilities and menus continue to get better and better everyday here. I've also tried new services and will continue to utilize the many benefits and offers under one woof here at Paws & Pints! The membership fees are well worth it and I am even happy to tip the Dogtenders in addition, since they now have a Venmo account! Thank you all for your continuous work to make this place, the best place in the world!! read more

Large space. Active dog community, no fights while we were there. Outdoor dog space is nice! Liked the chicken sandwich, nachos were just ok. The website/app are unnecessarily confusing. read more

Paws and Pints has the friendliest and most helpful staff! Everyone there greets you as if they are truly happy to see you. We have been numerous times and have enjoyed the food and atmosphere very much. Definitely recommend for dog owners and non dog owners! read more

What an awesome place for you and your pup! In order to enter you need updated vaccination records. Food for human and dogs is really good! Staff is friendly and constantly watching out for the dogs. Dog parents are able to drop dog off and enjoy food and drinks. Busy place with all the pups but lots to do for them. Will be back! read more

We drove 9 hours to come to Paws & Pints and I instantly fell in love. This place is heaven and exactly what I was looking for. My fur baby Leo is 5 months old and was a bit nervous but the staff, owner and environment were positive and welcoming. They made him comfortable and feel safe. By the second day of visiting, he was playing with the water and running all over the place. As a dog mom, this made me so happy. I would 10/10 recommend and definitely worth the trip. Food and drinks were delicious as well! Such a cute and fun place. Will 100% be coming back!! I wish Paws and Pints had more locations across the US! Thank you Paws & Pints staff! You were amazing read more

This place is simply dangerous for your pet. I have been twice and I have seen 3-4 dogs injured each time. Some owners do not watch their dogs and some are very aggressive. My dog was injured this time.. I will not be back, the control level is to low. Aggressive dogs are not controlled and will injure other dogs. I now have to get X-rays for someone else's irresponsibility. Never again read more

This place is literal heaven for dogs. I was honored to attend a soft opening, and got a first hand look at this glorious location. First impression when you first walk in, is this place is professional, clean, and modern and incredibly welcoming. I got to experience the large indoor dog park and the bar and grill. They have giant flat screens within the dog indoor park, brand new toys and turf. With windows that open so you can leave your dog to play and enjoy some food or drinks. I got to try the buttermilk crispy chicken sandwich with fries and let me tell you that sandwich was insane complemented by housemaid spicy pickles. Food was 10 out of 10. I also tried the corn and plantains appetizer, and it was perfect. It honestly reminded me of when I used to write food reviews for the Des Moines register because the food was so good and I didn't go with the intention of writing about it! I would highly recommend this place, although I didn't bring my dog, I was visiting while I was at work, but I can tell you that my dogs would love it. I am attaching a few photos I got of my food. I would highly recommend P&P for anyone needing doggy daycare, a place to play and enjoy a quick bite while your pup plays, grooming, training, and boarding. Just a quick note with boarding. They have beautiful stalls for animals needing to stay over and some of them have video monitoring as an option so you can take a peek at your pet while you're out of town. I think that is amazing and would make me as a pet parent feel really secure about the stay. I cannot recommend this enough. The outdoor patio with live music and giant fire pit is going to be glorious as well as the giant outdoor park. Congrats on your opening! read more

So, let me start by saying we didn't have our dog with us!! So, this review is based only on the restaurant/bar amenities. We wanted to check out their menu and happened to be in the neighborhood. But, overall, food wasn't great. I hate saying that but it just wasn't. We ordered cheese curds and those were good! But, our entrees were bad. We got burnt ends, side salad, chicken sandwich and pulled pork sandwich meals. The chicken sandwich and burnt ends were BURNT and not how burnt ends are supposed to be. Like they were black/charred. Unfortunately, none of us liked our meals. The atmosphere and drink selection are what get it to 3 instead of 1 star. Great choices for drinks both hard alcohol and beers! I'm hoping we just went on an off day. We've gone to the dog park and enjoyed drinks and love the concept, cleanliness, atmosphere!! read more

Great options for drinks and food. It's a little pricey, but I love the convenience of being able to hang out with foods/drinks and the dogs. I often get food while waiting on my dog to get groomed. They do a good job with cleanliness and using technology for ordering. Highly recommend this place! Gem of Des Moines :) read more

Have had a great experience with P&P! My dog and I have gone a handful of times so far- this place is truly like Disney World for your dogs. The staff is very attentive, you can trust your dogs are in great hands and will be kept safe. They host a bunch of fun events weekly-their dog yoga was so much fun! read more

Paws and Pints - Indoor dog park area - Dog Parks Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

For about 80% of the time, this is the nicest dog park you could ever really expect in any location, let alone Des Moines. The park staff is significantly better than anything you'd expect, and the dogs are very well behaved and they have plenty of room to run and play. When it is an average night, it's quite literally the best place you can take your dog, bar none. Unfortunately, management is also fixated on the bar aspect and occasionally runs events that significantly decrease the dog's experience to drag in non-regulars and overcharge them on drinks and ruin the entire mood of the park. There is a DJ they wheel in semi-regularly that plays blaringly loud music in closed spaces, which is a terrible notion for a dog, not only for its mood, but safety as well given how riled up the dogs get and makes it when any of these terrible events are happening. You can't even bring your dog because the clientele just becomes a gaggle of undesirables and it's no longer a safe place for them to enjoy themselves. So, I would check their calendar before going. If it's an average Tuesday afternoon and nothing special, it's a tremendous 5-star place to be. But on a Friday night, I doubt I would go even if paid to attend, it's atrocious. If they would just stop trying to cater to drunks and miscreants and focus on the actual community that their whole business is designed to target, it would easily be a five star location consistently. read more

Love this place. Staff are amazing !!!!!! The care for the pups snd humans to have a good time. They watch very closely for any signs of unwanted behavior! You are supposed to keep an eye on your pup and watch for bathroom etc, some people forget to watch but the people working there are watching, will pick up pups and take up owners!! Love love love this place !! read more

Incredible. Our pup had the time of her life, and the fun doesn't stop there - we LOVED the food and cocktails too. The staff was great, the atmosphere is wonderful.. they didn't miss a beat when building this place. It's truly the best way to tire out your pup, especially on cold winter days when walking them doesn't sound as exciting for us humans! We can't wait to come back. read more

do not go here. scheduled an appointment online and call to confirm and they said they cannot do it unless they have all paperwork ahead of time. i work two jobs and set up everything around that. told them bringing paperwork with me. they did not care and were very rude. just think what they would do to your dog since they're rude to you. read more

Great place for dogs and humans! My dog has a wonderful time and gets worn out every time we go!

I love bringing my pup here !!! He's an older dog and I haven't brought him to a dog park since his breed is vicious' and everyone there just loves in him ! He likes to be right by my side the whole time and they try to get him to do something else. The food here is amazing!! Definitely recommend the soft pretzels with queso for a starter, and the fried chicken wrap with a side of fries! The serving staff is amazing! Daycare and lodging people are amazing! I lodged my dogs when I went on vacation and got the luxury suite, for both my dogs! And every night they were in there cuddling with my pups! (They're big cuddle bugs). They let my dogs out together because one of them is aggressive towards other dogs, and let my non dog aggressive one out with the others, so he could get in some play time! The groomers are amazing! They are so loving and gentle with my pups! My dog doesn't like water much, and they told me he did very good! He came out smelling very good, and lookin handsome as ever! Overall I would recommend coming here, whether or not you bring your own pups! read more

We were staying in Des Moines as a pit stop during a road trip. On the way into town I found this and had to stop to check it out! We called and they walked us through the registration and vaccination requirements so we were ready to go when we walked in. Although we could only stay a little while because they were closing everyone was super friendly and welcoming especially Gabriel. They made sure we were taken care of and that Murphy, our puppy, had a great time. There are 3 big areas for dogs to play with each other and run around and plenty of tennis balls for fetch. We will make this a stop on all road trips what a great place. read more

Love this place! My dog loves Katlin, she's the best. Doggy daycare, grooming, overnights, bar. Great place for dogs & dog parents.

The food was SO GOOD, and the set up/space is awesome. We had the plantains and street corn and the peppers for appetizers, and the street tacos and chicken sandwich for meals. They were all fantastic. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in Des Moines and the homemade pickles were BOMB. Our server was an absolute sweetheart, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. So cool to have somewhere like this in Des Moines for dog owners! read more

As a first time dog owner I had so much to learn. More than I could have ever imagined. Especially when you have a dog with bouts of reactionary issues. Just over a year after I adopted my dog, Paws and Pints opened - and we were so excited! Finally, a place to let my dog get out his energy, talk to other dog owners, and just relax. We had a few bumps at the beginning when we visited (reactionary issues with Birdie), however, let me tell you this - P&P staff, management, and ownership immediately worked with me to get my dog into an amazing training program with their onsite trainers at Imperial Canine Obedience. They did not treat my dog like he was a bad dog, or me a bad owner. They advocated for us. Paws and Pints, from the moment we walk into the door, we feel welcome. They know who we are, remember our names and greet us with a smile and a little laugh because, "oh man...here's Birdie!" The Bark Squad (the amazing people who work in the dog permitted areas) know Birdie's personality and can anticipate his wants/needs/behaviors at the park. We know they don't just remember our names, but remember our personality - how awesome is that? One of the biggest things I would like to stress is that we BOTH feel so safe at Paws and Pints - and that is so important to us. Birdie and I want to feel safe, and want those around us to feel safe, because that is what makes this business work so well. We know Paws and Pints is an advocate for us and will do whatever they can to teach, learn, communicate and all around love your family. From the bark squad and the waitstaff, to the daycare and lodging - we can not say enough good things about Paws and Pints. We feel so lucky to have such an amazing place to visit rain or shine! read more
