Dogs are allowed at the 2,500 square foot off leash dog park and leashed dogs are welcome on the covered south patio which features a 60′ long gas powered radiant heater.

Hot bevvies, sugary snackies, and fireside movies—is there anything better this time of year? Head to Grounds for Dismissal Coffee where these things await you and your whole fam (pup, too!) Each ticket includes 1 s’mores board (enough for 10 s’mores) and 2 bottomless hot chocolates (plus kid hot chocolates are free). They’ll have a fire pit and heaters outside, but bring something to keep you and your woofer comfy cozy while you enjoy one of the three different holiday movies playing.
