Welcome to Skiptown, the place where Charlotte pups come to play and their people come to stay awhile. Our bar and dog park in Charlotte, NC, combines spacious play areas, refreshing drinks, comfortable seating, and a lively community atmosphere in one seriously fun destination.
Let your pup chase new friends across clean turf while you relax with a craft cocktail, cold beer, glass of wine, coffee, or nonalcoholic drink. It may be designed with dogs in mind, but humans have plenty to wag about, too.
Off-Leash Fun Meets Laid-Back Drinks
Skiptown gives dogs room to run, romp, explore, and release their zoomies in a large, fenced-in environment. Our off leash dog park includes indoor and outdoor play areas, clean artificial turf, tunnels, and a seasonal splash pad for dogs who believe every good day should end with wet paws.
Skippers are stationed throughout the park to help maintain the space, clean up after pups, and encourage visitors to follow our park etiquette rules. Pet parents remain responsible for supervising their dogs throughout every visit.
