Pups and Pints

Ya'll know what this is another 4.5 star review. Full disclosure. I don't hate or dislike dogs. I just dont care to see people and pets in every store or restaurant I enter. This place? They got it right! It is designed for dogs & their humans! Outside doggie play area. They dogs can sit with their owners in the bar area and there is a doggy daycare situation that happens during the week. I must say the dogs who were there were well socialized and so were their humans. The bartenders were on point! They even had a side window for the dog and humans outside. Fried pickles were excellent. Y'all know I am a fan of those. However, the price point for what you get? Nah. That was more like a $5 serving or a side serving. $8? I need a plate! Cut me up a whole pickle please. The hot dogs? Excellent. We doubled up for a few dollar more. Worth it! Keeping with the theme, the hot dogs are named after various breeds.These are the reviews I hate. The ones where I gotta put ya'll on to a gem of a spot. Be advised there isn't a lot of indoor seating. We were there with the Ravens flock. I don't know if the limited seating was due to he group OR if that is typical on game day so get there early!

This place was the cutest little outdoor area to bring my pup! There is plenty of seating and things do to such as cornhole, some outdoor games and even a little sand box for little ones. The dog park area where you can let your furry friend roam without a leash is something you have to pay for or gain a membership for, so we ended up not doing that and keeping our pup with us in the seating area. There is a little window on the side of the building where you can order your food and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. I was super surprised how good the food was. We ordered the Philly Burger, BBQ Chicken Flatbread and the Fry Flight (not pictured). All were SO GOOD, and portioned pretty well! It definitely was a little pricey but given the quality of the food, I couldn't be mad about it. There was a good selection of beers as well. Definitely would come back to plan more pup dates with friends/family!

My Daisy and I love this place! She gets to play and run around while I get to enjoy a few drinks with friends. It's a great atmosphere and she really loves the outdoor play area. It's a fun, safe place for her to play with other pups and wear herself out

Opening weekend was probably completely overwhelming for the staff of Pups & Pints, and I commend them on how they handled the huge numbers of people/dogs and the problems with their POS/internet, kitchen backups and drink availability. Opening dates are always a great learning experience and I look forward to returning in the near future to, hopefully, see some improvements.I, admittedly, don't have a pup. I have a cat who thinks she's a dog, but she'd be a bit out of place here. I do love a good, cold beverage and some friends were checking out this place so we tagged along. This past Sunday, around 3pm, it was slammed! They have a large parking lot, but we ended up parking on the back of the property along a row of trees. People were parking wherever they could find a spot. The front entrance was noted as closed and a sign told us to go to the side entrance, so we did. I noticed they have gates so you can directly go to the outdoor area as well. Inside, there appeared to be an open play area to accommodate pups in inclement weather. They have a single bar, which was flocked with people both inside and out. Inside is open-air, but no dogs except service dogs are allowed. The staff had to tell people many times to remove their pets. There were 3 steady workers behind the bar and the woman who helped us was WONDERFUL! She was accommodating to my young daughter and so apologetic about the waits/system crashes etc. We were hoping to order food, but we were advised that the kitchen was hours behind and were warned against it by the bartender. The menu sounds good, but I have a thing about fried pretzels. If it's fried, it's not a pretzel. It's fry bread. I wish they had more healthy options too, like a larger entree salad or bowls. Given the chance and a kitchen running on time, I may try the black bean burger on my next visit. The leashed dog park is HUGE and there are plenty of picnic tables, chairs and even swings for the humans. They also have games - cornhole, tic tac toe and putt putt for some entertainment. I love that they have the kiddie pools with water for the canines to hydrate as well. And the turf versus grass should stay nice for the long haul! I don't have high hopes for the beautiful potted flowers around the space. Dog urine will kill those post haste!Room for improvement:- Cups. I TOTALLY get that they don't use glass - nobody wants a pup with a wounded paw, but the unbelievable amount of plastic produced by this place is sad! I hope they will go for an alternative - more recycling containers available or a reusable option like silicone would make a huge difference!- Shade in the off-leash park. There were only a couple of umbrellas in this area - no tents or gazebos like the leashed area. Doesn't bode well if you are conscious of heat or UV exposure.- More beer options. With "Pints" in the name, it wouldn't be a bad idea to offer more variety. There are only 12 options and half were tapped out by Sunday afternoon. They have more canned seltzer varieties than beer. Overall, I wish them well & hope they take some suggestions to heart. It is a wonderful place for you and your pup to socialize!

My wife and I went for a trivia night there and ordered some food while we played. The building was super nicely maintained and my burger and hot dog were good, but it kinda goes downhill from there. We ordered nachos, cheese sticks, a burger, and a hot dog, and it took 30 minutes for it to come out. Actually, the nachos were ready after like 10 minutes, but they just sat there getting cold until the other stuff was ready. The real kicker is I ended up with food poisoning starting before we even left and until the next morning. It seems like this place is *almost* really good, but they need a new manager to whip stuff into shape or something. 2 stars bc there are signs of greatness and chances to be awesome, but our overall experience was not good.

Overall this place has amazing potential! The scenery is great, and the customer service is good too, but the service is very slow probably due to having a short staff. My food was decent. I had the flatbread pizza, and my wife had the BullDog hot dog. The hotdog was really good!! They have a decent variety of beer and alcohol. I came in on a Sunday afternoon and the parking lot was very full, so try to show up early if you can. This business is very new, so I'm sure it'll take them some time to make more improvements. I will definitely return in the future because it is a good place to bring your dog.

Man. Better have your dog vaxxed to the max to use the off leash area. Leashed area is good to go with no vaccinations.

My beautiful girlfriend, our dog, and I have been coming here religiously since it has opened. We have invited friends and family. All of us love it here. The staff is hands down the best! The bar offers quick service with a very large variety of drink/food options. The outdoor space is maintained and managed well by the pawficials. The free run area is great for socializing for both humans and dogs. There is nothing negative about this place! Will forever be a regular here!Bri is freaking awesome! She's a bad ass bartender and our favorite!Sherry is defending the life of the party! She's always greeting new propane making them feel welcome!

Super unique spot for doggos! They have an area where you don't actually have to pay for the dog "membership" but your dog has to be leashed. The off leash area is a fenced in area that has a small splash pad. The area is nice but I wish there were more trees for some natural shade. We ordered a frozen pina colada, super yummy! I'm glad that they have more than just beers! Overall, great experience but would not frequent.

Virginia Beach has been needing this place for ages! The food is delicious. The staff is superb. And the doggie play areas are fantastic.
