Dallas Dog Park and Restaurant Mutts Canine Cantina Opens in Austin | Eater Austin

"A Dallas-based dog park, restaurant, and bar opening in Austin’s Lakeline area that operates on a membership model (daily, monthly, or annual) to grant access to its facilities; once inside, dogs can run and play in staff-overseen areas while owners eat and drink. The site occupies about 1.6 acres and features multiple fenced play areas, a splash zone, dog washing stations, patios, fire pits, and private cabanas. The human menu focuses on casual American fare (chicken sandwiches, burgers, fries, breakfast tacos, grilled cheese with crispy pickles) and a broad drink list (margaritas, Texas mules, frozen drinks, boozy and non-boozy milkshakes, wine, and beer), while canine offerings include small hot dogs and frozen popsicles made with beef broth and peanut butter, served with an edible bone. Regular business hours are 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Monday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–midnight Friday–Saturday, and members may enter the park from 5 a.m.–midnight daily (though dog staff are not on-site outside normal business hours). The concept first launched in Dallas in 2013 and added a Fort Worth location in 2018, with additional Austin and out-of-state expansions planned; initial Austin openings experienced delays." - Nadia Chaudhury
