The Barking Dog is much more than a neighborhood bar. We actually specialize in catering to office parties, birthday parties, retirement parties, bar mitzvahs and more.
In addition to our DJ booth and dance floor, we have a dart board, corn hole toss, and Skeeball for your entertainment. We strive to make your next event at the Barking Dog one that your family, friends, or staff talk about forever.
The Barking Dog has an extensive catering menu that can often times be customized to meet all of your catering needs. Most special requests and dietary restrictions can be accommodated with at least one week's prior notice. We often are asked to create special theme parties for our valued customers and we would be honored to help you plan your dream party with us.
You are always welcome to make an appointment with us to scope out our venue.

Perfect spot for adult birthday party

I recently hosted a 65th birthday with 100 guests and a live band at The Barking Dog. The party was perfect in every way. Can’t say enough good things about Bob (the owner) and Matt (the manager). They were easy and pleasant to work with, the staff that worked the party was great. The food was tasty. The room was comfortable for 100 people - neither too large nor too small though it could have held more. There is a built in dance floor and plenty of room for the 9 piece band I hired. It is metro accessible and there is plenty of nearby parking. I’m so glad I chose The Barking Dog to host my party. Highly recommend.

Bob and John at The Barking Dog were fantastic to work with. We held our 20th high school reunion there and they were so helpful guiding us every step of the way from budgeting to ordering food and setting up the venue. Can't wait to go back for our 25th.
