Conveniently located along the Northern Strand Community Trail, dog-lovers taking their best friend(s) for a walk can stop inside for a drink and some delicious food. Your dog(s) will be able to socialize with other dogs and have plenty of fun in the spectacular play area, which features indoor and outdoor spaces. “Now that the weather is getting warmer, I suggest everyone consider taking their dogs for a walk on our bike trail and stopping inside for a drink and a good time for both dogs and humans alike,” said Mayor DeMaria. “It was a pleasure to join Park-9 at their “leash-cutting” ceremony, and I wish them the best of luck.” If you’d like to stop by, their hours are as follows: Monday– Friday: 5 p.m.–10 p.m.; Saturday: 9 a.m.–10 p.m.; Sunday: 9 a.m.–9 p.m. For more information, please visit www.park9dogbar.com.
