I live about a mile from The Dog Bar, and several years ago, when it was still rather new, my young neighbor and I went to check it out. Our experience was not good at all. We went in the afternoon and there were a few other people there. They appeared to be "regulars" because they knew each other and the bar tender and seemed to engage in comfortable conversation. I am in an older generation than most who would frequent this place, but my neighbor was in her late 20s at the time. I mainly remember feeling rather snubbed, and even when we tried to engage others in conversations about their dogs, we were met with rather cold stares, and the affect was that we were unwelcome visitors. The bottom line is we never went back. Dogs are very important to me and they are my young neighbors very LIFE! We had hoped to find a place to hang out with people of like mind and maybe form some friendships. In my opinion, The Dog Bar is not the place for that! It seemed more like a yuppy wannabe place to me!
