By Grace Huffstetler, OMAHA, Neb. – Located just off of 14th street in Little Bohemia, Omaha Dog Bar is a unique establishment. It’s a popular adult bar and eatery with a large outdoor area for dogs – and adults – to socialize.

Omaha Dog Bar offers a full daycare throughout the week, with drop-offs at 7:30-8 in the morning, and pick-ups in the afternoon.
“They play fetch, they play water games when it’s not cold outside, of course.” Perry says. “And they take a little nap at lunchtime, just so everyone is not overstimulated.”
Roughly 75% of Omaha Dog Bar’s customers are regulars. They take up on the annual or monthly memberships, as well as the daycare, so the employees often see a lot of the same dogs.
“Watching puppies grow up, watching families change,” Perry says, “they’ll have a puppy, then they’ll grow up and have another puppy, that’s definitely my favorite part.”
Omaha Dog Bar has also expands their venue out for events, such as parties, weddings and dog meet-ups. There is a calendar on their website detailing any and all events at their establishment, such as Trivia Thursdays.
