What a cool spot. I didn’t know about this hidden gem. Dogs, dog park, beer, open spaces and good music. What more could you ask for? If you say food well then you got food here too. A couple food trucks and some little shops. It’s a great hang and it’s on the river too. Little more off the beaten path but very much worth the ambiance.

Wow!! Anytime we travel, we look for a dog friendly place that has an off leash area for the pups. This place is wonderful. The pizza was delish the coffee drinks were so good and the staff was friendly. The dog park area had tons of room and fun activities for the pups. This is a MUST stop if you have dogs. Let them get out and run around while you grab a bite to eat. Very clean and safe area for them to play in. Great job, whoever owns this!! We definitely will be back here if we are in TX again. Thanks for the fun time

We were at Elsewhere next door when their ability for making cocktails left little to be desired. Meandered over to Hops and Hounds where they made us really good cocktails and mocktails. Cute place that had an agility course for your pups. Bartenders were super nice and the restrooms were clean. Glad we came upon this little spot.

The is an amazing place to take your dogs. I love Hops and Hounds. They have an amazing dog park that they provide for our fur babies water dishes, kiddie pools with water, fans, obstacles. You can also sit and relax while watching the game. Eat...drink and have a puppy blast. Highly recommend.

Very cool. We loved the set up! So clean, the trees provided shade, bathrooms were clean, bartender awesome, and Max had a good time! Laid back atmosphere, for sure. We were able to play ball, have margs, and then lounge out front. Very cool concept!

My pup and I love this place, we come down here all the time. I’d say probably the best hangout spot for humans and dogs in SA, right on the river walk, lots of great options all around. We are down here at least once a week, very chill vibe. Food trucks, full bar, tvs, and a very large dog park

Cool place to stop for drinks while walking the river. We are visiting from UK and loved the dog park concept. I had a really nice sour beer and my husband the strawberry wheat beer.
