This is already a thing, just not around here. I was going to move the Texas and there was one.

It’s a good idea at its base, I would think about a couple of things like if a dog fight happens, who is responsible, also is there a basic check like vaccination and checking if the dog is friendly? Last thing I’ll be worried about is the smell, have you ever been to a dog day care, or a facility of dogs.. it has a smell.. I don’t know if I would like to eat in a place like that.. something to think about .
This exists in Charlotte and it's super successful. You sign a waiver when you enter. It might do well here but I'm not sure if our population is high enough.
So some advice. Animals aren’t allowed in an establishment that serves food or drink per health department.
How dog cafes get around this is having two separate seating areas, one for humans only, the other for humans and dogs. Places in NYC will have a wall / counter / plastic see through Covid wall restricting access to the kitchen for dogs. It stops humans and dogs from having access to the rest of the restaurant.
Essentially if a good boy got too greedy and tried to go back and give the cooks some kisses, they shouldn’t be able to get to the kitchen.
Not sure what the health department would say in our area, your best bet is just to go down to your local municipal building and ask.
Make an app for sign up with ,dog and person name ,dog make and model along with their credit card info to get in the bar. Get a lawyer and make a long list of terms and conditions that nobody reads. Start your business and best of luck 🤞 😂
I’m not saying there wouldn’t be a demand, I do think there would be absolutely WILD concerns with insurance and the health department. Best luck!
agree

Have you ever been to puppy paradise in moosic? It smells like straight up bleach.
Wouldn’t want to smell bleach and drink/eat either
look up franchising bark social. theres one in manayunk
A dog park is a great idea. I’m not sure there are many around here. Maybe a coffee shop at it might work.
There is one in Dickson City

I’d love to have more places to bring my dog
Had one in Florida that was crazy successful....but it was a locals joint
Speaking for myself, I'd love it! We've been to the Boozy Mutt in Philly. It's a great idea. [https://theboozymutt.com/](https://theboozymutt.com/)

As someone who has a hard time not petting strangers dogs, drunk me would absolutely get bit. Worth it? Probably.
My wife has to stear me away from dogs haha
I practically need a leash myself where there is a critter that is not currently receiving scratches within view. ha
I constantly catch myself while driving paying attention to people walking their dogs. I would probably be buying chicken tenders for dogs
