Bark Social - Bar in Philadelphia - 3720 Main St Suite E, USA

I was skeptical of this place. Saw them building it and thought that it wouldn’t be too likely to be big success. I was proven wrong. Place is always busy on weekends and evenings. Free to go in, you are just paying for your dog(s). I went a few times to check it out and decided I would likely go enough to make a membership worth it. Great atmosphere of dog minded peeps. Drinks are great and food is decent. The “park rangers” help watch over the dogs so you can relax if you’d like.

First time visitors to Bark Social Manayunk! We had the BEST time! The facility is immaculate, the staff is attentive and engaged with the crowd/pups, drink/food service was awesome! What a great place to spend the day and the dogs had a BLAST! Thanks BarkSocial!

Bark Social is great. It's a dog park with a bar / restaurant attached. They have a huge selection of beer. Their food is OK at best. Like it's good enough but very mediocre. Would love for a much better option. Their competitor in the area has much better food. But the park itself is much better than the competitors. The field here is enormous and the Bark Rangers are awesome. Legitimately awesome. They know all the dogs by name even if you don't come often. They have a great way with the dogs and can settle things before they get out of hand. They have a ton of parking and my dog always has a blast here. It's my favorite dog park / restaurant in the area. Bring your dog, have fun!

All the staff are extremely kind and friendly! Bark rangers always going above and beyond also, putting themselves at risk to keep dogs and people safe. The atmosphere and space are excellent, very spacious and fun for our dogs. The people (and of course the dogs as well!) and their efforts again is what makes this space so very special! All their events and classes are super fun! Food could use improvement and/or larger portions. I wish it was more like Luckys on main st for example, I’m sure that would be very nice to attract more people outside of the dog circle.

We visited today for the first time (our first visit being free) and we will definitely be back! Check in was very smooth as I’d submitted all forms in advance. The Bark Rangers were so friendly and welcoming. Especially the young woman - wish I’d gotten her name! - but she was so encouraging and loving with my shy small dog. I went inside to get a coffee, and when I came back out the Bark Ranger was holding my dog in her arms and being so loving with her! That really sold me. (Also, the coffee was great!) They do a great job of watching play and making sure everyone is safe. We had a fantastic first experience and couldn’t have asked for more! Can’t wait to come back.

So we were skeptical when we heard about this place initially and now we absolutely LOVE Bark social. Our dog loves it and since there are no toys for dogs to fight over and “bark rangers” that are monitoring while you relax and watch dogs run and play which is a joy in itself. Not to mention the bark rangers love dogs so much! Good beers on tap that change! (Haven’t tried any food but will update when i do) Edit: Food pretty basic chicken strips or pizza not the most incredible but made to order makes it decent to munch on [are you really there for the food or dogs though am I right?] Two things: Since there are a lot of dogs marking their chairs/tables they have to spray a solution that has vinegar in it that permeates throughout the park when its hot. Secondly there isn’t really any cover from the elements (at this time) and they are going to get an awning that should take care of that. Edit: there is a covering now for some of the outdoor seating.

My dog and I enjoy going here on occasion (we are no members) and she has a great time. There's enough room for larger dogs to run around and plenty of seating options for humans (picnic tables, Adirondacks, high tops, plus indoor seating) Coffee is always great 👍 and recently had their breakfast sandwich which was also good. We've had pizza and pretzels on other occasions and the food was good. Clean facilities, they sanitize the ground when dogs go bathroom, and the team outside helps keep dogs calm and entertained. Large parking lot available. You do need to bring proof of vaccines and spay/neuter depending on the age of your dog on your first visit.

Bark Social in Manayunk is an awesome hangout for humans and dogs alike! Dogs get to run free and play with supervision and attention from the “bark rangers.” Humans get to relax and order drinks or food at any time of day. There’s even a doggy store and a bath station. Great for a quick trip or a workspace. Staff is wonderful and caring!
