What visitors consistently say

The highlights

Reviewers rave about the staff, who know the regulars by name and step in to redirect bored dogs back into play. The "welcome committee" of golden retrievers and the upper hill for calmer dogs get repeat mentions, as do the rotating local craft taps.

The community

A tight community of Weaverville and north-Asheville regulars, joined by a steady stream of visitors who spot the place driving in from Tennessee on I-26. Monthly-pass members treat it as a second living room; trivia and music nights pull a consistent weekly crowd.
