Shuttered dog park and bar in Manayunk will get a new leash on life – The Philadelphia Inquirer

Fetch Park, an Atlanta-based company that combines an outdoor off-leash dog park with a bar for humans, all under one woof (or ruff, take your pick), plans to open its first location outside of Georgia this fall in Manayunk. Fetch Park, whose debut in 2018 makes it one of the earliest entrants in the dog park-bar space, is taking over Bark Social, which closed in November after a year and a half on a site next to the United Artists movie theater at 3720 Main St. The Maryland-based Bark Social and all five locations filed for bankruptcy protection in December. At Fetch Park, which has four locations in greater Atlanta, dogs roam free in a off-leash park overseen by “Woof Wardens” while their owners sip craft cocktails and coffee, eat from a Southern-inspired menu, and socialize. The park will provide dog cooling stations, outdoor TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Access for dogs will be available through daily, monthly, and yearly memberships; rates have not yet been set. Entrance is free for humans, no pup required. Dogs must stay outside, where there is a covered patio in addition to the turf field. » READ MORE: What are the top dog names and
