Hey Knoxville, a New Way to Hang out is Here!

Wagbar Knoxville has officially opened its gates, bringing our one-of-a-kind mix of off-leash dog park and bar to East Tennessee!
Located at the former Creekside Knoxville space, Wagbar is where dogs can play, humans can relax, and everyone can enjoy a vibrant, social scene.

Now Open Daily!

Our Grand Opening Celebration on October 25th was an unforgettable kickoff — filled with live music, food, drinks, giveaways, and (of course) plenty of wagging tails!
Now, we’re open every day for good drinks, great people, and relaxed fun for dogs and their humans.

Whether you’re stopping by for an afternoon drink or a night out with your pup, Wagbar Knoxville is built for comfort and connection — with plenty of space to roam inside and out.

What is Wagbar?

Originally founded in Asheville, North Carolina, Wagbar is a proven concept that’s redefining how dog lovers hang out.
It’s an off-leash dog park and bar where dogs run free and humans sip, socialize, and unwind — all in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.

Why You’ll Love Wagbar

Why You’ll Love Wagbar Knoxville

At Wagbar Knoxville, we’re redefining what it means to “go out” with your dog. It’s not just a bar. It’s not just a park. It’s a place built for connection — where dogs run free, drinks stay cold, and everyone instantly feels like part of the pack.

From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the energy:

  • 🐾 Indoor and outdoor off-leash play zones so your dog can burn energy rain or shine

  • 🔥 Fire pits, shaded patios, and cozy seating that make it easy to linger

  • 🏖️ A sand pit for digging, playing, and pure dog joy

  • 🎶 Live music, trivia nights, and community events that keep things lively

  • 📺 Outdoor TVs so you don’t miss the game while your pup makes new friends

  • 🍺 Craft beer, seltzers, ciders, served in a clean, laid-back bar environment

  • 🚚 A rotating lineup of local food trucks with something new every week

  • 🌙 A friendly, 18+ crowd that’s all about relaxing, laughing, and letting dogs be dogs

This isn’t a dog park you visit once and forget — it’s a place you’ll want to spend your weekends. A space where you can grab a drink, catch the game, meet fellow dog lovers, and give your pup the best day ever.

No dog? No problem.
Come hang out anyway — the good vibes, great drinks, and happy tails are contagious.
