FAQs

  • Hound Haus an all-day cafe, bar, and dog park. Our establishment offers a supervised, gated dog park that also has amenities for dog-owners. While dogs run around and play, dog-owners can enjoy a coffee and pastry in the morning and a beer in the afternoon or evening. Our staff of "houndskeepers" will monitor dog play, clean up after your dog and consistently sanitize the play area. All dogs need to be up to date of vaccinations in order to enter.

  • Membership is essential to get to know all the dogs that enter the space and can accordingly address any issues that arise. It allows us to establish a safe, socialized, fun environment for everyone. And in the city of Mr. Rogers, it’s important to know your neighbor to create a true community.
