You like to have fun.  Your dog likes to have fun.  What if there was a way to have fun together?  Enter  Bark Social!  Founded by two entrepreneurs, Bark Social is a dog lover’s social club that incorporates dining and shopping with dog and people socializing.  You can sit, stay and make new friends!  The first location in Maryland, is due to open this Spring.  The 25,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor venue  features a craft beer, wine and coffee bar and a professionally monitored off-leash dog park.

Sounds like we need one in Philadelphia! Good news…Bark Social plans to expand with locations up and down the I-95 corridor including among others, Philadelphia, Richmond, Northern Virginia, DC, and North Jersey.

No specific location has been given, but we hope to mix, mingle and sniff around soon!
