    The place has a cool concept where you can bring your dog to socialize and it's also a bar. Place was clean and staff were friendly. Dogs had a lot of space to run and interact with other dogs and it had an indoor and outdoor area as well. What I really liked is that there is staff walking around making sure the place is cleaned up. The bar had some cool drinks. It was a nice experience and a great place for dogs.

    I think that this place does the best job with creating a safe space for our pups to play in Charlotte! I love the grapefruit mimosas myself, and then love the pup cups and watermelon/banana pupsicles for Leila! We also got a really cool deal on a summer dog park pass on Memorial Day - ngl, wouldn't have thought to try it out without the deal - and now I know that when it ends I'm gonna have to keep taking her to Skiptown! My little Leila is socializing so well now that we go to Skiptown every week or so. She used to bark all the time at passing dogs, but now it's just every once in a while when she gets bad vibes. She'll play with the doggos at Skiptown and feels so free off the leash. It's kinda funny to watch her play - she only wants to play with the big doggos and will play for like five minutes then retreat back under the bench where I'm sitting - it's hilarious, but also great that she can be herself and still find a safe place when she needs it. The space is really nice outside - so spacious and fun for the doggos to play. I think the inside is just like any other brewery, so when it's not nice outside, I'm probz not stopping here. But the outside is unmatched in Charlotte - especially for apartment doggos. The staff is also really good about making other doggos keep space - like if a dog starts humping your dog, they'll stop it. And I love that spayed/neutered is mostly required and you def have to stay up to date on your dog's vaccines, so you feel your dog is as safe as they can be in a place like this! Ps. my Leila is spayed :) so I don't worry too much about that anyways, though I def want other doggos to give her personal space when she needs it. Only every once in a while do I run in to a doggo that is kind of an a**hole, and it's always a reflection of their owner who's usually just getting drunk at the bar without even paying attention to their doggo - note, you should be watching your doggo when you're here - for their sake, if anything (your doggo loves you unconditionally and just wants to hang with you). Do wish that the staff would reprimand these people a little more, though. It's also a great place to make a pup play date with a friend while you catch up with drinks. I also did come on one of the days that they open up early to try to work there while my pup played during working hours. My opinion on that is mixed. They only open up the small side part of the bar and outside for these hours, which I kinda get, but with the scorching hot days in the Carolinas, there's not enough inside space for people to work. You and your dog will end up way too hot when sitting outside that long, plus your computer will start to overheat. I think they should have the whole inside open during these hours so you're in the AC and able to work - I probably won't be back for a "work day" given the limited space in sweltering heat. I will say their mocktails were super delicious and refreshing during these hours, so I'd grab another one of those if I did end up coming back during these hours. I honestly can't wait for their Noda location to open up because I'll be there daily - my biggest complaint about this Skiptown is the location. Parking is a nightmare and South End is just a nightmare itself for a thirties gal like me. I usually end up taking an Uber here just because it's easier. When you can't find street parking, the parking was like $30 in the garage when we were there for like three hours - way too much. Overall, great place for your doggo to play and make friends in an open space while you grab a drink! Def recommend!

    My dog would leave me for a better Mom if ever we were to stop coming here at least twice a week. And I wouldn't blame her ‍. Best dog slash human bar I've ever been to, and I spend a lot of time finding places to take my lab girl with me to!

    Upscale dog park with great alcoholic beverages for the humans. Pretty secure, however I would appreciate a more definitive method of matching owner to pet. Perhaps maybe numbered wristbands/dog collars? Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and get exercise and make lots of new friends. Will definitely make this spot a staple destination.

We missed him like crazy and worried about how he was feeling. Dennis actually had us come in halfway through, showed us what Carson had been learning, and said something that I keep thinking about: Carson wasn't missing us. Not because he doesn't love us, but because dogs live in the now. He was busy, focused, doing his thing. We felt so much better after that. Carson came home happy and calm and confident. He understood the rules and felt good about it. And he wasn't (as our son put it) a "bot" now - he was the same sweet and goofy pup but now, he could follow instructions and maintain self control when we needed him to. The staff were also straight with us about the fact that he'd have setbacks. That's normal. They spent a lot of time explaining what you do when it happens. In fact, they spent almost an entire day with all the families at graduation - going over what the dogs learned, getting you hands on practicing how to do it, answering questions, and really teaching a ton of helpful information. We're about to set up our in-home training visit, which will be for all of us, including our three kids - really great to get everyone aligned with Carson's training. The Dog Knowledge is fantastic! We are members now and plan to board our dog with them whenever we go on vacation. I cannot imagine trusting any place like we trust them.

When I picked them up after work, they were brought into the lobby smelling of urine. They left wet paw prints on the floor. When I got them into the car, the urine smell was overwhelming. I went back in and asked the woman at the front desk why the dogs reeked of urine. She actually asked, "what do you want me to do about it?". I replied maybe return the dogs in the same condition as when they were dropped off. She said maybe they rolled in it outside. Rolled in urine? Um, ok. Thank God I have a dog cover over the back seat of the car. It was soaked. Their collars and leashes were wet and reeked as well. I had the enjoyment of running everything through the wash and giving the dogs 3 rounds of bathing each to get the smell out of their fur. They were obviously kept in their kennels without being let out to relieve themselves. Both dogs are housebroken and well behaved. Not a way I want to spend my evening after working all day. Not to mention that doggie daycare is not cheap. The first strike was when I came to pick them up and while I was waiting for them to come out, a very large aggressive dog named "Tarzan" came in with his owner and the owner had no control over him. The female front desk staff wouldn't take him back to his kennel. They had to call a male to the front that could handle him. My dogs had to be kept behind glass doors until it was safe for them to come out. That's a huge liability on Pet Palace if that dog hurts another person or dog. Ever heard of making the owner call when he's in the parking lot to make sure the lobby is clear?

We took our dog to get a full wash, trim, etc. We had just adopted him from the Humane Society and really wanted to pamper him and get him all cleaned up. First of all, the staff in the office is so kind and warm. You can tell they love dogs! That made us and our doggo a lot more relaxed for our first visit. They give you plenty of info and reassurance. When we picked him up he looked amazing!!! His coat was shining and he was all smiles. They also did a temperament test for him too, which was great because the Humane Society didn't have a lot of history for him so we didn't know how he'd do with other dogs. I love that they do the temperment test for free and give you a whole report card!!! Such a fun and helpful touch. Our dog loves it here. He never wants to leave when we pick him up lol. Thanks to their staff for being so helpful and sweet!

I love this- I always hate planning my day around when my dog is going to be ready at other groomers. It seemed like the dogs were just wandering around the grooming area and there was a little area for strictly playing, but it's not like they take them to a separate room or outside, but I still love how they socialize and aren't caged!! It was pricy- at other groomers I have paid $80-$90 for a groom and here it was $105, but that also includes getting to play and socialize for as long as you need, so I think it's worth it!! I will note, they charge a 4% credit card fee if you use one. But they don't if you Venmo or pay cash. We will definitely be back!
