I've been coming here consistently since July 2023, usually 4 to 6 days a week every single week, so this place has genuinely been a huge part of my routine and community. My Google review from a year ago gave this place five stars because it truly felt like an amazing space built around dogs, community, and responsible ownership. Looking back at that review now honestly makes the decline even more disappointing, because even just a year ago this place felt completely different in the best way. This place is supposed to be a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs and the people who love them. For many members, our dogs are family, and that's why the recent direction of the business has become genuinely heartbreaking and honestly alarming to watch. A growing number of members are becoming deeply uncomfortable with the decision to repeatedly host large rave-style events at a facility specifically designed for dogs. After previous events, there were already serious concerns about the condition of the property afterward, even after professional cleaning crews had supposedly finished. Members and staff still found debris throughout the space and parking lot and many people are now questioning whether any environment used for late-night parties like this can realistically ever be cleaned well enough to guarantee dogs are safe there afterward. Dogs spend their entire time at this facility with their noses on the ground, sniffing turf, licking surfaces, and putting things in their mouths. That is exactly what dogs do. The idea that dangerous substances, residue, pills, or other hazardous materials could potentially be missed during cleanup is terrifying for pet owners. One mistake could have DEVASTATING consequences for someone's dog. The best comparison I can make is this: imagine if a daycare hosted large rave parties at night and then told parents the next morning that everything had been cleaned and was safe again. Most parents would never feel comfortable with that. That is exactly how many dog owners are starting to feel here. What made this weekend especially upsetting was learning that the business was supposed to reopen after the latest event, only for members to then receive notice that the facility would remain closed due to cleanup issues, with uncertainty about reopening even the next day. That only reinforced concerns that these events are creating problems far beyond a normal private party. At the same time, members continue paying premium annual fees while receiving reduced operating hours, less access, ongoing inventory problems at the bar, and repeated closures tied to outside events. Many people joined because this was marketed as a community-centered space focused on dogs, safety and responsible ownership. Lately, it feels like those priorities are no longer coming first. I know several members who are already questioning whether they will renew their memberships because trust in the safety and direction of the business is starting to disappear. read more

Easy to register your dog online and staff were informative. No food available besides chips. Would have loved to see a food truck here. Decent options of beer both on tap and canned. It definitely had a dog smell but that is to be expected. They also verified all vaccines so it was safe for dogs. Staff were also there to help keep an eye on dogs. They do allow dog strollers and they had a splash pad for dogs. read more

We visited two shepherds taproom on a Saturday morning with a coonahoulagan (treeing walker coonhound catahoula) and a house hippo (shar pei German shepherd). We had registered beforehand and had our dogs vax records approved to hang out. The people who work at this place might be the coolest people in the world. All of them were friendly and chill and clearly loved dogs. Definitely my kind of crew. They went over all of the rules with us upon entry and the rules are solid and enforced. I really appreciate their commitment to everyone, kanine or not, has a good time. When I heard there was a dog park taproom fusion, I kind of expected a small indoor space and a dozen beers. I did not expect 78 different drinks and a spacious indoor area and a sizeable dog park in the back! They keep the whole place really clean and they've got this adorable splash pad where a lot of dogs were enjoying themselves. They've got plenty of chairs and tables for you to sit inside and outside. It's honestly ideal. It's super worth noting that my hound dog is a flight risk. This place had very secure entry and exit gates and I actually didn't worry about her at any point here. This place is locked down and it made me super comfortable. I think it's safe to say that if I lived nearby, I'd be a regular here. The vibes were awesome and our dogs had an awesome time. The dogs were good. The beers were good. The people were good. read more

My pup loves it here! Lots of space to run around. He loves the sprinkler on a hot day. Staff is super friendly. They host great events with local groups including Dog Moms of Tampa Bay. read more

What a great spot to have great craft beers, and a place for the dog to go running around other dogs. This place is awesome. No food on premise, but a truck selling lobster roles is right by the mail dog area. They had a good selection of craft beers on tap, and the can and bottle list is also quite extensive. Good diversity of styles and name brands. read more

Such a fun place to bring your pup and hang with friends! The play area is huge and clean, with plenty of seating. The staff was kind and explained how things worked since it was our first time. I would recommend registering your dog online before you go to make things easy. We can't wait to come back for more of their events! read more

Our dog loves this place! The drinks are good and the bartenders are always nice. They host fun activities and the outdoor space is really large so the pups have a lot of room. The reason I've given 4 stars is a lot of the owners do not clean up their pets potty inside / out and it kind of puts a damper because it takes a bit for staff to find it and clean it (not their responsibility but someone has to do it) maybe a member on the floor for this would be helpful read more

I don't even own a dog and I loved this place! I stopped by here to find a place to hang out for a while that had wifi in the area. I arrived right around when they opened their doors and the beertender was immediately attentive and friendly! Not to mention, the wonderful pup on duty who greeted me as I came through the gates! So stinking cute!!! Great beer selection as well as seltzers and sodas if you prefer not to partake in beers. A large seating area inside is air conditioned wonderfully and there is an amazing outdoor playground for your doggos to have a ball while you have a beer. Despite not having a dog, I would totally come back here based on the service, environment and prices. Amazing little hidden gem in the area. read more

Came to Two Shepherds with a friend and her pup! I used to visit more frequently for bingo with some friends and their dogs, but this was my first time here in awhile since I don't have a pet myself. For a place that always has a ton of dogs around, it's feels clean and I love the large open space! read more

Two Shepherds is the best dog friendly establishment I've ever been to! We drove from Miami for a Basset Hound meetup, I loved that they verify the dog's vaccination beforehand. There's an impressive selection of beers, the staff was very friendly, and there is plenty of space for the pups to run around. We had a blast, we can't wait to come back, it was worth the drive. read more

The best place to hang out if you have dogs. They offer a variety of theme days and nights which make coming always fun. The staff loves the dogs and the people and always make you feel right at home. read more

I don't think I've ever seen dogs have this much fun. What can be better than a huge spot to run, play, get wet, sniff, make dog friends, sniff more, get soaked, run some more, and pretty much completely ignore everyone else in there? All the while, pet parents can drink, chat, and watch sports - all in addition to observing the enjoyable antics of the slew of dogs running around without any rules. The bar has a lot on tap, and just as much in cans, so you'll definitely find something you like. There is indoor bar seating and some other tables, but most people sit outside - there are lots of comfortable chairs and tables to choose from under absolutely massive umbrellas that should do a pretty good job of shielding you from a fierce midday Florida downpour or sweltering sunny day. Spend a few hours just watching the naturally occurring dog chaos, have a few drinks, throw some tennis balls (there are a ton of them for the taking), and leave with one happy pup. read more

Came here to see what this dog park and bar was all about. It was quite impressive how they set this up for both dogs and their humans to enjoy. The bar tender was friendly and helpful as she explained how things worked. They do not brew their own beers, but have some yummy craft brews on tap. All the dogs and their owners seemed to really enjoy their time here. It is a really neat concept that they seem to be executing well. read more

Awesome doggo playground and brews for dog parents everywhere! We went for their 4th of July foam party and it was a blast. Our Koko is a bit shy so stays near us but loved seeing other dogs off leash, and having a great time. I also love that this is a social platform for both dogs and parents alike and it's safe and fun! $7 for entrance fee and dogs must be up to date with vaccines. But other than that they have ample seating, indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to roam . Their brww variety is fantastic. $15 all u can drink mimosas on Sundays! I didn't find out until we were leaving haha read more

It's everything you could want for your pups! They have a nice set up that feels safe and clean. All dogs have to have their immunization records uploaded and shared in advance of entering. They offer beer and snacks for the humans and a romping good time for the dogs. There are plenty of water features and tubs and umbrella for hot sunny days and dogs can also come indoors to cool off. The customers are cool as are the staff members. Very fun day. read more

Two Shepherds is a happy playground for dogs and their people. All kinds of dogs can hang out, run, play and chase tennis balls, which are plentifully scattered so there are plenty for all. Big dogs and little ones get along well. The only drawback is when folks bring big picnics and leave food where a big yellow Lab (like ours) will steal whatever he can. So look out for careless owners. The beer tap selection is vast and varied. read more

The best place ever. Everyone is friendly, respectful, and cleans up after their dog. It is super relaxed and the perfect place to hang out and let your dog get some exercise read more

This is such a fun place!! I'm so inlove! So I came here because it's down the street from all of the dealerships. I'm waiting for my car. So I decided to venture here while I waited, and I'm so glad I did. This taproom offers a great selection of wines, beers, and ciders. And dog owners can hangout in this beautiful spacious area, sipping on great drinks, while their dogs run around and play! There are tennis balls, tubs filled with water, and other activities for the dogs to enjoy. It was so much fun playing with the dogs while I sipped on my cider. There is also a bbq food truck (veteran owner called Liberty House) that chills in the parking lot. I'll be reviewing this later. I enjoyed the triple jam cider. This was so incredibly good. I'm a cider person, so this definitely was amazing for me. There was a nice touch of sweetness and an amazing flavor profile to this drink. It was so goo that I ordered it twice. So if you like ciders, you will definitely enjoy this. The customer service was amazing as well. Once I entered the taproom I was immediately greeted by the friendly hosts and a cute dog! The ambience is great! Tampa's weather was so great today. A nice and breezy 80 degrees on a Saturday. Dogs playing freely outside. There were plenty of tables to sit at so that I could enjoy my cider and food. But be warned, the dogs will jump on the table. Because they are dogs! So if you have an issue with that then I suggest not coming. But it's so funny to me. I would definitely return. I wish that I had a dog to bring. If you want to just hang out with your dog and enjoy a day with food (only here certain days of the week), drinks, and fun then I recommend visiting. read more

Came here today after hearing about this being a dog friendly location with room for the dogs to run and play. Upon arriving we were greeted by two pups that walked us to the bar. With the exception of one lager this establishment only serves outside breweries beers: we had come hoping to find a place where we could relax, enjoy a beer and have our pups off leash and also enjoying themselves. All of this is possible at this location. The catch is the dogs are charged $12 each to be here. They do have a annual pass for $300 . They do verify all annual shots have been given to the dogs and any dog over a few months old must be fixed. I'm holding off one star simply because I wouldn't pay to bring my dog to a brewery. I had no idea there was a fee to bring your dog here or I probably wouldn't have gone so clearly I may have missed this in my research. The staff were nice and the dogs seemed to be getting along and enjoying themselves so take this review as just me trying something that didn't fit for us. read more

First impressions this place is awesome!!! I love the indoor space because it gets soooo hot out during the day. The staff is super friendly and really makes sure the dogs are having a great time! I can't wait to see what this place grows Into. Update: Their grand opening party was so much fun! I love all the agility equipment they added to play with! The vendors were super cool too and gave the dogs so many samples! My furry friend was so happy he took the best nap ever when we got home! read more

We go about twice weekly, and our dog is one of the regulars at two shepherds taproom. It is very spacious both outside and inside, which is great when it rains (which happens pretty often in Tampa depending on the month). Our dog loves playing with the other dogs here, and definitely gets his exercise in. The place is clean and well-maintained. They also just added a ton of shade outside, which helps a lot with the hot afternoons. The staff is super friendly, and the beer selection plenty. It's a great place to give your dog exercise, and if you don't have a dog, just hang out and pet all the dogs! We're staying regulars. read more

Fun place to bring your dog and have a beer. It's kind of like a dog park with a brewery attached. They have a great selection of beers on tap and in the can/bottle as well so excellent choices, there's something for everyone. They have one beer of their own, a Two Shepherds lager but I didn't try that one. Well spaced for socially distanced, but a good place for people to talk about their dogs together. They also have a hot dog stand for you or your dog. Nice place in Tampa by the stadium. read more

Amazing place to grab a beer with friends and let your dog have some off leash time. Very responsible owners and staff members during my visit. The beer selection was a great mix off different styles to accommodate all customers. Even if you didn't drink beer there was sangria. I will for sure come back to this location in the future. read more

Cool place and was very excited to try it out. We submitted all our vaccination forms online beforehand which makes it easy when arriving. It is nice that all dogs need to vaccinated and spayed/neutered! Unfortunately when we got there they told us our friends 4 months old baby was not allowed in so we didn't end up going in :( read more

We were down in Wesley Chapel for 2 1/2 months visiting my in-laws. Working from home is a beautiful thing. Re-read about this place on BringFido and we decided to give it a shot. It is a great place to bring your dogs and have some beers. The people there are very friendly and there are lots of spaces for the dogs to explore, both inside and outside. The outside area has a little water park for the dogs, and there are ample supplies of water, bowls, and doggy bags. You can bring your own food, and during the weekends, there are food trucks. The barbecue food truck is affiliated with the tap room, but we never got a chance to try it out. When we come down in August, we are going to renew our membership and get the doggos some playtime. Highly recommend for people with social dogs. read more

Two Shepherds Taproom - Dog bar - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place is the best dog bar in Tampa! Love coming here with my friends who have pups. Huge outdoor turf with plenty of outdoor seating, picnic tables, TVs, food truck, and water system area for the dogs to play in. Parking lot gets full sometimes, because this spot is such a top-notch dog bar in a prime and easily accessible location. I recommend any pup lovers to come here to spend some time in the sun outside or take advantage of the separate seating and bar inside with another section blocked off for the pups who love the air conditioning on a hot day. Please come here - you won't regret it! read more

My FAVORITE dog bar in the Tampa Bay Area, hands down. Two Shepherds is spacious, making it the perfect spot for both big and small dogs alike. There is an indoor and outdoor area, so it's ideal for any weather. There's also a splash pad and pools outside to keep your pups cool in the hot summer months. They also keep the grounds super clean! Some of the other local spots smell, which makes spending time there less enjoyable but Two Shepherd does a great job maintaining the space and ensuring it's a comfortable place to hang while your dogs get some much needed exercise! Not to mention, a great selection of local and craft brews and seltzers at reasonable prices! read more

We love this place so much. Stella is treated like a celebrity there. Between the food trucks, events, beer selection, the people, and of course the dogs, there's always something to do. Owners are responsible and the employees are attentive. This place is so special and I'm very grateful for it. read more

So this place has a cool concept but the indoor flooring isn't sufficient. It's easy for a dog slip or have their back legs split. This happened to my greyhound. So if you don't have this issue than I recommend. Great people and good vibes. Scratching my review and saying if this place doesn't want recommendations like I was speaking to a staff member about maybe some simple padding on the indoor doggie playground floor and their response "I know. I'm not the owner." Than I'm out. Not coming back. If the staff doesn't want to make this place better and same goes for the owners. Yeah, highly recommend not going here. read more

I've been here a few times now and I really love it. The outside area for the dogs to run and play is HUGE! They have multiple shaded seats for people to sit and relax while the dogs do their thing. Normally, there are a few wash tubs for the pups to jump in and get cooled off. The inside is divided up into two sections. The first one is the main bar area with ample seating and a few good TVs great for catching a Lightning game. The other side is much more roomy is seems like it is built for what could be training for dogs. This section also has a few of the typical bar games that have been popping up lately (Jenga with large blocks, a 5 foot tall connect four board). The best part about the inside though, is simply that it is air conditioned so that you and your dog can escape the Florida heat. Lastly, they have a decent beer selection. It could have a few more options, but at least they have all of the flavors of High Noon. If you are bringing your dog, be warned, the parking lot is black concrete and gets real hot. I'm not going to lie, I carry my pup from the car to the bar every time. read more

Great place to hang out with a friend for a drink and let your fur baby roam around and play. Pretty hot on a summer day but there are large umbrellas that provide decent shade and there is plenty of seating outdoors. There was a BBQ food truck the day I went which was pretty decent. read more

Two Shepards Taproom is fantabulous!! We went today for their first doga!! Dog-Yoga!! Luckily, it's going to be a monthly thing!! Last Sunday of every month, they will have a yoga! The yoga teacher was nice, it was very beginner level, and hard to hear her. She seemed to hesitate, maybe trying to adjust to the dogs running around. The taproom and outside area is huge! There were a ton of balls and climbing toys for the dogs and several tables and chairs for the people. Inside was cool and has high ceilings. There is another play area as well. There are two huge garage like doors that can be opened to create one huge area. (don't forget to clean up after your pooch!) Everyone was super nice and helpful. There are a lot of beer on tap, amazing wine, and drink selection. To bring your dogs in, they have to be registered and have paperwork completed. For humans, it's a day pass or monthly pass. Make sure to connect to their Facebook and Instagram to be notified of events and specials!! read more

Zero stars. Staff is rude. Place is overpriced and in accessible. Make sure you bring your dogs license, rabies, distemper, spade or neuter documentation. Now pay up and go through the gate past the the guard and enjoy a warm beer. Never mind don't waste your time and gas. What a joke. read more
