Bring Petzooie to Bark Bar and let him run about in the off-leash section. Arkansas' first indoor/outdoor dog play area and bar is Bark Bar. Grab a drink while your dog is playing, whether it's a cup of coffee, a local brew, or a unique cocktail. Treat your dog to a Spaniel Sundae, a dish of Mini Carrots, or a Dog's Dog, all washed down with a Doggie Ale. There is also a tiny assortment of human food available. To visit the premises, all pets must have a one-day pass, a monthly membership, or an annual membership. Before obtaining a pass, dog owners should carefully study the Bark Bar's list of rules and regulations.
