Dougie’s Dog Bar Now Open in The Packing District, Celebrates with The Bark Mart Orlando on March 8th

ORLANDO, FL Dougie’s Dog Bar is now open, bringing a new social destination to the Packing District where dogs and their people can gather, relax, and connect. Blending the atmosphere of a neighborhood bar with the energy of an off-leash dog park, Dougie’s introduces a community driven space designed for play, connection, and local collaboration. The venue features a rotating lineup of 12 local Orlando brews on tap, classics, wine, and non-alcoholic options, complemented by a casual shareable menu of artisan pizzas, sandwiches, and elevated bar bites. Dogs can also enjoy house made treats and menu options created just for them.

To celebrate its arrival in the community, Dougie’s will host “The Bark Mart Orlando” on Sunday, March 8th, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Presented by GoSee Local, The Bark Mart is a free, dog-friendly pop-up market featuring over 20 local pet brands, makers, and small businesses. The event offers a unique “shop, sip, and socialize” experience where owners can browse high-quality pet gear, treats, and accessories while their dogs enjoy Orlando’s newest off-leash destination.

“Dougie’s Dog Bar was created to be more than just a park, it’s a community hub where dogs can be dogs and humans can actually relax,” says Adam Harbin, VP of development at Dougie’s Dog Bar. “Working with GoSee Local for The Bark Mart is the perfect way to showcase our new space and support the incredible local pet businesses that make Orlando so special.”
