The public has voted Kansas City’s Bar K as the best dog bar in the US Today’s “Best Dog Bar 2024” competition. Nestled in central Kansas City, Bar K has quickly asserted itself as the place to be after opening in 2018. Below, we’ll discuss why Bar K has so much to offer the Kansas City area.

The restaurant offers a diverse menu of delicious dishes, ensuring you and your dog have a great meal. The full menu can be found here.

You can host or attend a Doggie Birthday Party.
Bar K offers many fun services, including birthday cakes, bubble machines, giant tennis balls, homemade treats, and even a dedicated “dog tender” to look after the pups at the party.
Are there any dog restrictions?
Bar K welcomes all breeds, including Pit Bulls, and is committed to ending any breed-specific legislation.
All dogs must be over 3 months old and have current vaccinations. Dogs under 25 lbs and under 6 months of age are restricted to the smaller dog park for their safety; however, they are allowed in the on-leash areas.
Bar K’s dog parks are catered to small and large breeds.
Pet Finder Park, a 3000-square-foot off-leash area located at Bar K, is available for private rentals. It is also used for adoption events, training classes, and other activities.
Bar K has a separate, smaller park for dogs less than 25 lbs. This park has a dedicated bar, TV, and play equipment.
Thursday nights are also home to “Puppies’ Night Out,” a fun-filled event where small dogs can play at their small dog’s dog park from 6-8 pm. The park is transformed into a lively playground, with various activities and games for the dogs, and a vibrant, social atmosphere for the owners.

A wonderful thing about Bar K’s parks is that they have dedicated “Dogtenders” who look after all dogs and guests and keep the park safe and clean.
It has dog swimming pools.
