Bark Social

We’re so happy Bark Social Columbia is back open! It’s such an open, playful, and safe space—huge thanks to Jess. The Bark Rangers keep Nori happily busy (Colleen and Xavier are pawesome!), and the bartenders always take great care of me (shoutout to Daniel and Cynthia!). Love this spot.

We are so happy this place is back in operation! It really fits our lifestyle and allows our dog the social connections she would otherwise miss. And the service and personal connections the staff make with you and your dog are from a place of genuine care. Just today, Cynthia went out of her way to come to our table to clear our drinks and get us refills. She knew what we had ordered and what the tab was without asking us. And Jess, the manager knows our dog by name and sight. What a great thing to have in our community!

A very welcoming atmosphere and lots of dogs playing and having fun. The spaces are clean and there is plenty of water for the pups and towels to clean your pup before you exit to your car. I've only had the coffee so far, but it was fine. The staff is very friendly and really good with the dogs.

Bark Social Columbia is situated right by a park and walking paths. There's a convenient parking lot and big outdoor area for dogs with a section for little dogs too. The staff is great. They break up aggressive play and take orders. Great for socializing humans or dogs.

I’ve been 2 times so far and this place is amazing, both times I’ve went there have been plenty of dogs there for my golden Lilly to play with. The 30 minute drive is well worth it. The chicken tacos were filling and delicious. The espresso mudslide is my favorite drink there. Still curious how the Baltimore location will live up to this one though. Staff is always very kind and friendly.

A wonderful place! It's clean and well supervised. A great place for both dogs and people who love dogs!

Awesome place to hang with or without a dog. The staff is nice and very playful with the dogs. Only complaint is wait times for the food. It seems like the kitchen can only do one order at a time, so you may be waiting 30-45 for something as simple as a shareable appetizer.

Can’t wait to come back! Everyone was very friendly. My dog played more than I’ve seen in a long time. He slept like a baby when we got home!

Bark Social in Columbia is an amazing dog-friendly place. Logan one of the Bark Ranger here does an amazing job with keeping all the dogs socialized and active.

An amazing experience!!! It honestly exceeded my expectations... if you've been to the Bethesda location, this place beats it by far! FOOD- surprisingly good!! I was honestly shocked at how good their food was. I tried out the nachos and brisket tacos I believe? Both great! DRINKS- small cups but they tasted great... not to mention, we came on a day it was 50% off drinks which made it even better. They also walked around with a variety of different samples!! SERVICE- Rachel was amazing! She recommended all the best food and drinks. She eventually walked out in a dog costume while "who let the dogs out" were playing and it was upbeat and hilarious. All the employees were friendly. The dog patrol made sure there were no dog fights and gave all the dogs so much love. They also clean after your pets! 5/5. A worthwhile experience. They have plenty of run room for your dogs, heated and lit seated area, multiple TV screens with different channels playing, an indoor humans only food ordering section! Definitely check this place out!

We had the best first experience at Bark Social in Columbia!! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was spacious enough for the furbabies to roam around. There is ample amount of free parking spaces. I tried the frozen mango margarita as well as the pretzel bites which were delicious! My dog ate some of their seasonal pumpkin flavored pupcakes (human grade), and he loved it very much. He's normally a picky eater so kudos to the baker! :) We will be returning more frequently.

If you have a dog, this is the place to be. I brought my niece's dog here to have some play time and he absolutely loved it. He had so much fun that by the time we got home he was so tired he went straight to his crate to rest. They have bark rangers to keep an eye on the dogs for friendly play, replenished their water bowls, and also cleaned up after them. The staff were super friendly. The place was wide open for dogs to run around. Lastly, the food and drinks were pretty good. Great place to hang out with friends, family, and dogs! Lives up to their tag line: Bar for dog lovers!

Omg! I cannot believe that Bark Social is open finally! When I saw them building it a while ago, I was so excited and quickly Google searched to see what it was exactly. What a great concept to bring pet lovers together to socialize with our fur babies. They have a great location. Being close to Merriweather and the lake, which are all within walking distance from each other allows for the Columbia community to really come together from all sides. I am so excited to bring my baby and can't wait.

I don't have a dog, but I saw on WBAL-TV that all of the Bark Social facilities have closed due to bankruptcy. The one in Columbia just opened recently. I gave a 1 star rating, because the business must have been poorly run to file for bankruptcy.

I was so excited to have a Bark's Socials in the neighborhood. Bark's Social should have been a fun experience. It was not. Their accounts aren't synced with other Bark's Socials making you have to sign up for their location causing a long line. To add to it I had already signed up but was required to scan a QR and sign up again with a payment method. The food was basic and the yard staff was inattentive and poop wasn't picked up. I'm really sad about this experience but will try them again after they work out their kinks.
