BarkYard n’ Brews combines dog park and bar to bring together community (includes video story)

Located conveniently in Fort Lauderdale, BarkYard n’ Brews is a blend of an off-leash dog park and beer/wine garden.

For co-founder Russell Knutson, the vision was to foster socialization not only of dogs, but also their owners.

To ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere, BarkYard n’ Brews requires all dogs to have a membership and up-to-date vaccinations, They also must maintain friendly behavior. Daily dog passes are available for those who want to visit occasionally.

BarkYard n’ Brews plans to expand its offerings with grooming services.

I am a senior majoring in digital media and journalism. I enjoy filming and I would love to continue my career with the ABC network after I graduate.
