Because we have trained staff to watch over the pups, owners are able to sit back and relax with an adult beverage and watch their pup having fun and getting worn out.

Our Story
In 2013 adopted my dog Shiner who was about 1 year old. While it was worth feeling like a good dog parent giving him 2-3 hours of play time 6 days a week at public dog parks, sometimes I just wanted a beer.

While it was worth feeling like a good dog parent giving him 2-3 hours of play time 6 days a week at public dog parks, sometimes I just wanted a beer. Flash forward to 2021 and The Watering Bowl opened. At first I thought there could be nothing better than drinking beer and playing with dogs for a living and that was my goal. However, after working in both a corporate and startup environment my dream now has a purpose which is to utilize an outdoor dog park and bar in a way that not only lets people give their dog their best life without sacrificing time with friends, but I also want to help people disconnect from work and stress because if we are all being honest, who can say they have true work life balance these days?
