Is this heaven? Rolled into town after a four hour drive with the dogs and found this oasis If we lived near by I would be a regular. If you've never been, here's what you need to know. 1. You need to fill out a waiver for each dog. 2. Day pass is $10 for two dogs as of this review 3. Full bar! Not included in the price of admission 4. Food truck. The night we were there was Paddies Patties. Top notch smash burgers and wings! 5. Your dogs will be totally exhausted by the end of your stay. It would be awesome if....they had a coffee bar. That would be prima! read more

I adore this business. I've only visited in the winter but i imagine it is idealistic in the summer. The drinks are quick and staff is attentive. The outdoor yard is perfect for dogs to roam and owners to relax with a cold beverage. $10 dog day pass or 10 visits for $80 read more

We would never have come here since we aren't dog people but a friend had a birthday part gathering. It is not too far from our house. Upon entering there is a fee if you have a dog and since we did not it was free to enter. The crew working the counter was very friendly and helpful and they have a wide range of beers and other canned cocktails in addition to non-alcoholic drinks. Prices were OK. Didn't really notice if they had food... Our group gathered in the shade of the building and not out in the dog park itself. It was nice enough and a gent was playing his guitar on the nearby stage. I kind of wished there were a few more beer gardens (sans dogs) on the east side of town. For a beer garden experience I will stick with the one at Olbrich Park read more

Cool business concept. HOWEVER. Gotta be honest and say that if you come here and use the jukebox, they will change the song if it isn't like blues/country/instrumental beats/rock. They will take your money, skip your song, no refunds, no nothing. If you're gonna have a jukebox, if the song is in the library provided by the jukebox, it should get to be played. Consider this. If I ordered a pizza and paid for my additional toppings/customizations, I should get the pizza I ordered entirely. I shouldn't get a fraction of the pizza because the owner or patrons of the pizza place disagreed with my order, and then proceed to keep the money I paid. If you don't like people playing songs they like (and more importantly, pay for) and you only want to hear your songs, then simply don't have a jukebox. It's that simple. Just think it's kind of bad faith to skip songs people pay for if it's a service the establishment decided to implement and offer to patrons. And no, I didn't load 20 Creed songs and leave as people on the internet do. read more

Great place! Came here to spend sometime outdoors and have our pets off leash for a bit. Great beer, good food, even better atmosphere. Was able to watch the football game and had many open sitting. Service was great ! Will visit soon read more

The Boneyard was the first place our dog fell in love with, and we couldn't be more thrilled. They offer a great selection of beverages, keep us warm in the winter, and our dog Hank comes home exhausted 100% of the time. It's a win-win. read more

Awesome service, friendly and super nice dogs an dog owners ive met so far. Definitely recommend taking the pup there

My husband and I are on our third or fourth 10-pass.... there is nowhere else near here to let your dogs run free where you can also get some great beers. I LOVE how much exercise my dogs get while I also get to pet dogs of all shapes and sizes.... and they're all so cute! The bartenders are friendly and have good recommendations for what to try. I always say, "This is my happy place." I only wish they were open Mondays and Tuesdays, at least during spring and summer! (And as a total aside, the food carts have been delicious too!!) read more

Amazing! We love the boneyard. We have a hard time leaving our dogs to go out, and this is the perfect solution. The staff is super friendly. Everyone who has a dog is responsible and super kind. I love their large variety of drinks. The food is also great. Highly recommend! read more

We love going here for Wednesday trivia! The owners and staff are all really friendly, and they've crafted a great dog friendly environment. They have a good selection of beers and even some NA drinks, as well as CBD seltzers from a local business! They have pretzels you can order, but also host food trucks every once in a while that are great. Be sure to check out their Facebook page to see what trucks are there and when, and see what events they are hosting read more

The ambiance is amazing! Not really a dog lover but the bf has one...ha! The dogs all had a great time and lots of beers to choose from. Had a great burger from the food truck! The gentleman that owns it was super great! Wonderful customer service...everyone would feel at home here. Had an unexpectedly great time. Every city have one of these! read more

Fire pits, food trucks, music, hot and cold beverages and a happy dog...I'm in heaven! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Other patrons are fun and courteous. I'll definitely be planning some play dates here, especially over the winter! read more

We have been coming here for over a year with our dog. We like it. Nice place to have a beer and watch your dog play with other dogs. Yesterday while sitting in a chair watching the dogs play ,I heard dogs fighting behind me. I got out of my chair and turned around and saw a man kicking a dog repeatedly in the ribs that was fighting with other dogs. It was not my dog, but no way, I wasn't going to not try to stop the kicking of the dog. I yelled " Don't kick the Dog"!!! He yelled your dog is hurting my dog ! Then he started yelling at me all sorts of really ugly things. I then said , again you don't kick dogs! Finally the owner of the Boneyard came over listened to him say my dog was hurting his dog. ( it wasn't my dog) I got up and left. The owner of the Boneyard came up to me inside as we were sitting in shock inside and said sorry, nothing I can do about it. Do you want a free burger! It was a very ugly incident with horrible things said bye the man that I will never forget and not ever coming back to Boneyard, We don't feel safe with our dog there anymore! read more

We're Boneyard fans! It's one of the most convenient places for dog-owners in Madison. Beer selection is on point, and Chef Ken's food is out of this world! Try his Pad Thai when you get a chance. read more

I love this place. Anywhere that I can visit with dogs and get a drink is aces with me. Drinks are a little expensive but they have a great beer menu. Service is pretty good. Small place and can get overcrowded quickly but worth it. Trivia night is fun. read more

The Boneyard is awesome! My dog loves making friends here and so do I. It's a great place for him to burn off energy while we get to relax with a beverage and food from the food truck of the day. So fun to see all the doggos play! read more

LOVE! My fiancé and I are not dog owners. However, we absolutely love dogs - and who doesn't love tap beer and wine? So we decided to stop by the Boneyard on a Sunday afternoon. They have an extensive beer selection, as well as a few different wines and canned cocktails. Humans are free admission (dogs are each $10), and I thought that the drinks were reasonably priced. The dog park is large, and has both an on-leash and an off-leash section, both with picnic tables. We sat in the off-leash section, and had a wonderful time enjoying our drinks and petting the different dogs. My fiancé also got some fries from the on-site food truck, and really enjoyed them. Overall, this is a very cute and creative spot that is surprisingly affordable. I'd definitely recommend this place to dog owners and dog lovers! read more

Boneyard is so much fun, whether you have a dog or not!! You pay an entrance fee per dog but humans are free so you can always go just to hang out as they host a lot of events. There are three areas: indoor on-leash (bar and tables and chairs), outdoor on-leash (gravel with picnic tables), and the large off-leash area which also has picnic tables and other fun things like a fire pit in the winter. It gets muddy but there's an indoor dog washing station, although it backs up pretty quickly if there are a lot of dogs needing a wash. Tons of drink options including tap beer, tap wine, and a stocked fridge. There's also usually a food truck and in the winter it's connected to the building via a garage door so you don't even have to go outside to get food! I had Philly cheese steak nachos this week and they were soooo good. Taking off one star because there's no shade outside so dogs get HOT in the summer, and more washing stations would be nice. read more

I didn't try the food because the food truck was busy and I'm an impatient person lol but it was a fun experience for Sadie and I! I love that they have lawn chairs, bowls, a nice big water spout, on leash sitting and off leash sitting areas. I went when they had a fundraiser and it was fun! I really enjoyed chatting with everybody - everybody seemed very friendly! All of the dogs were super nice as they should be of course! read more

Great place to meet up with friends, have a drink and let your fur babies run around. The dogs always have a blast. Love the fire pits that keep you warm when it gets cool outside. read more

Excellent selection of beers, food trucks, a stage for live music, and video games, and it's all for dog lovers. So happy I found this place. Being new to town, it's fantastic to meet other dog lovers and play pals for my dog. Giant fenced in field for off leash run time too. read more

Had a great time! Great vibe and the space is very clean. The beer selection and service was exceptional, food was available by food truck and the people that were with me said it was great and reasonably priced. I will definitely bring my dog to hang out soon. read more

The Boneyard is a super innovative spot that I'm surprised no one has thought of until now. People make friends at pleases like these! It's exactly what you think, a big dog park with beer. They provide chairs so you can sit and socialize while your dog runs a muck. The variety of beer draws a better crowd as well (more than Miller Lite!) and more often than not, they have a food truck. I would go here all the time- IF it didn't cost $10 to get in. That's a little hefty for me which is why it's not 5 stars. read more

Went for the band. Fun place! No dog no charge. But got to see and enjoy them. Good section of beers-I got a Karben4 IPA One in Four for (lots of 4s) $7. No prices posted so not sure if same for all beer/wine. Worth checking out with or without Fido! read more

I love having a dog-friendly bar / coffee shop on my side of town, but this goes a step further with a full on fenced-in dog park on the premises. They have heat lamps and fire pits set up to gather around while your dog runs in the off-leash area, so you can supervise while staying warm. They have a great selection of drinks for the humans, host fun events like their recent holiday pawty, and support other local businesses like food trucks - even a dog treat truck (Excite Bites) frequently visits! They also have a dog wash station inside, which is included in the price of admission. It's great for dogs who love nothing more than to find the muddy spot and take advantage. We're planning to continue supporting this business and watching it continue to grow. There's so much potential with the space - I can imagine them hosting agility events in the yard, for example. Check out their website for more information about pricing and the waiver required for entry. It all seems reasonable to me and we've had a great time with no incidents. It's so nice to have a place like this for the local dog community to gather and socialize while our dogs exercise. Even when you have a stubborn Shiba who sits by the gate. read more

I went this past weekend with my friend and his dog. Such a cool concept. You pay a daily fee and you can have the dogs inside on a leash. Outside they have plenty of space for off-leash and even a dog washing station! We enjoyed a selection of beers and a local chef cooking Thai. read more

Awesome place. My dog loved it. They have craft beer and food trucks. We loved meeting all the dogs.

This place is great! Nice beer selection, friendly staff, nice indoor and outdoor options. AND for those of us who don't have a dog, you get to see a bunch of dogs playing while you have a beer! Very fun place and they organize some good events too read more

We have been here a few time and have really enjoyed it! Plenty of drink options, when they have food it is delicious, fire pits when it's cold, and my dog gets to run and play as much as she wants! Will definitely be getting the annual pass!! read more

We took our dogs here for the first time today and ultimately had a good time, but the check-in process was super stressful. The front staff person was very rude and dismissive towards us, such that we almost left without even going in. Also, the cleanliness of the food cart there was pretty questionable. read more
