Daily News | Dogs and their humans share bar action at Bark Social in Philadelphia
Hiro is a chill boy. While other dogs frolicked along Bark Social’s green expanse of artificial turf, the shiba husky mix sat up straight in his owner’s lap on a bright red Adirondack chair, surveying the action — much like a shy toddler at a gym.
This is the third location from founders Luke Silverman and Jeff Kurtzman, who opened their first in Bethesda, Md., in early 2021 and followed in Baltimore in spring 2022. Three more locations are on the way, Silverman said.Check-in is behind a series of doors and gates. It’s free to walk in without a dog, and about 30% of Bark Social customers at its other locations don’t have one, said Charlene Lee, the chief of staff.
The human food menu is based on what Lee called “guilty pleasures.” There’s breakfast all day, plus sandwiches, fried foods and pizzas. Top-seller so far is a one-pound soft pretzel.
