Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 14, 2023 Park-9 Dog Bar marks its territory in Everett P New England’s first year-round indoor dog park and bar opens to the public on Thursday, April 13 ark-9 Dog Bar welcomes dogs to bring their humans to the Boston area’s first and only indoor dog park and bar in Everett beginning April 13, 2023. A Leash Cutting Ceremony is scheduled at 5 pm, before DJ Petro cues in the public at 5:30 p.m. Park-9 was created by spouses Emily Gusse and Tess Kohanski alongside Chris Kohanski to provide dogs, dog parents and dog lovers (canine companions not required) a clean and comfortable space to play and gather year-round. Park-9’s Dog Care team of dedicated and highly trained Park Rangers will ensure every dog receives the care and attention they deserve. Relax and play within multiple on- and off-leash areas (both indoors and out) with a cocktail, craft beer, or glass of wine in hand. The Bob Barker (Tito’s Handmade Vodka, fresh lemon, blueberry, mint) kicks off Park-9’s rotating cocktail for a cause. From each Bob Barker sold, Park-9 will donate $1 to Sweet Paws Rescue (https:// www.sweetpawsrescue.org/). Tito’s Handmade Vodka will also be matching Park-9’s donation up to $1,000. “Inspired by Tess and I craving a fun environment where our golden retriever Nora felt welcomed, Park-9 provides an indoor space where dogs can safely play during the dead of winter as well as during the hot summer months,” says Park-9 Co-Founder Emily Gusse. “Chris, Tess and I not only opened Park9 to be welcoming of all breeds, but also an inclusive space for humans of all ages to hang out with their dog and friends while also having a drink and watching a game.” “As Park-9 is steps from the Northern Strand Community Trail and among the area’s premier breweries and distilleries, we are proud to potentially be introducing a new pack to the area and to others in the dog community,” says Co-Founder Tess Kohanski, who also serves on the Board of the Everett Chamber of Commerce. “Everett is a dynamic city and we’re excited to be a part of the vibrant community and have a positive impact.” Cocktails & Treat/Food Menus: The elevated indoor dog park and bar experience is matched with an equally carefully curated bar program from General Manager Andrea Bergner and Bar Manager Michelle Gitschier. Fresh juices and herbs are mixed with quality spirits in playfully named, seasonal craft cocktails like the Double Dog Dare and Snoop D-O-GG as well as Zero-Proof options like the All Bark, No Bite. The primarily New England-based beer list highlights draft beers from breweries like nearby Night Shift Brewing and New Hampshire’s Smuttynose Brewing Company.
