I took my small dog to the dog park on a Monday and there were more medium/large dogs than small dogs. However, all of the dogs are gentle and I did not see any aggression at all. Although my dog didn’t play much but it was still nice to expose him to all this environment. They have WiFi and I worked a bit while my pup being distracted, it was a win/win situation. Love the bartender there! I will definitely come again.
The experience provided by West Street is unmatched by any other doggie spot. I absolutely love taking my yellow lab to West Street. The staff are all extremely kind and polite. They treat your animal like its their own. They go above and beyond to make sure you and your pet are happy with their services. I love the bar on the dog park side, the drinks are excellent and it’s a really friendly environment where everyone knows everyones name. I even brought my mom, and we sat and had coffee on our once a week coffee meet-up. It’s a great place , and even though I moved out of he neighborhood , I still travel to West Park. My Bennett absolutely loves the friends he’s made.
We brought our 9 month old puppy here for the first time today and had a great experience! The staff was so welcoming & friendly and it was very clean. Our dog had a blast and we loved that they had popcorn & lemonade for our kiddos. Will definitely be back!
We take our baby boy here every week. He gets so excited when we turn onto the street it’s on. This place is his home away from home
The employees are always very nice and treat our guy, Sawyer, so well. They know him by name. .
Wish we could take him more than once a week. Maybe soon.
Really cute indoor dog park/bar in Raleigh! You must pay to enter and your dog needs to be up to date on vaccines. Staff are really friendly and the drinks were great. Shoutout to Tim (the bartender) for being so welcoming and taking good care of us.
It’s a dog park so it doesn’t smell great, but they do a decent job at keeping the place as clean as possible.
Highly recommend!
