The Hounds & Tap

The indoor and outdoor infrastructure is impressive! It's a great place to take your dog and enjoy a drink for a celebration or sports game. They also have food trucks which pairs well with their nice outdoor area. This is definitely a good place for friends to come together and let their pets hangout in a safe, contained environment.

We hosted a sweet 16 birthday party for our beautiful black lab along with 11 of her dog friends and 15ish of her human friends. It was such an amazing experience! The owners are caring, attentive, and thoughtful people. Communicating was easy and the process was smooth to get things set up. They provided a private space, tables/chairs, water bowls, and puppy treats. They even pulled out a cot and blankets in case our elderly pup needed a soft comfy place to rest during the party. We were able to bring in apps and any additional decorations which was really nice. There are no places like this in the greater Milwaukee area. I will be back supporting this amazing business and concept! +5 6 Share Response from the owner 4 years ago Thank you for the review!

Our puppy Willow loves going to daycare here. Her tail wags like crazy as soon as she gets out of the car. Every time we leave the house, she runs to the door hoping we are taking her to Hounds & Tap. It’s her favorite place and we love how happy it makes her.

Great places to take your fur babies, and have a cocktail! Although, the cocktails are a bit pricey! Our dogs really enjoyed playing with all the other pups! Like Share Response from the owner 2 months ago Thanks for the review! I am glad your pup had a great time!

We love coming here! Our pup has such a great time and is always so excited when she sees where we are. You can tell they care about the pups that are there and ensuring everyone has a safe and fun time. We come often for the tavern but we also do day care every now and then and also board her here. They treat her like their own and even surprised us with a birthday pic of her when she came in for day care! We’ve only had one issue with another pup and their owner, but it wasn’t anything separating the dogs couldn’t handle. Ivy, our dog, is very shy and submissive and they do a great job of helping making sure she’s also enjoying her time even when the crowd gets a little hyped up! We can’t say enough good things. The drinks are a little pricey, but overall we love coming here. Like Share Response from the owner 2 years ago Thank you for the review! We appreciate the kind words and love spending time with Miss Ivy!

My pup has the absolute best time here. The staff at the daycare are outstanding and my boy gets super excited as soon as we turn into the parking lot. We had the best grooming experience too! Best part is my dog is wiped out from all the playing!

My wife and I have wanted to stop by and check this place out, finally, with our Golden, Trillium. We got there at opening, we were greeted immediately and asked how we heard about them. Grabbed a couple of drinks and entered the play area with Trillium, who was immediately entertained by Nadia, we had a nice conversation about the establishment and we enjoyed her company. It was a nice experience. Services Service not listed Like Share Response from the owner 6 months ago Thanks for the kind review! We hope to see you and your family again soon.

This was a cute little dog park to go to. I wouldn't recommend going to this if you have a high energy dog that likes to get there energy out by running versus playing. The area is just not big enough. However, with that being said, the staff is so nice and the ability to drink while you are hanging out is an added bonus.

Update after they responded: except our dog came back clean from worms/parasites so I asked at what point could we bring them in? You didn’t answer my question. When taking our dogs to the vet we were notified of more cases of kennel cough in your daycare so then in my email I asked at what point do you notify families of a HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS going around because we knew of FIVE PLUS DOGS. To that they refunded us our money. I think refunding us was there way of getting us to shut up. Instead of answering our questions they refunded us. I do NOT think that was appropriate or respectful. We had been going to hounds and tap for about 3.5 years. Within the last 6/12 months our family had grown by 3 dogs. Our 2 newest dogs did great. Our 3rd attempted to come in (but has SEVERE ANXIETY due to past trauma) he pooped in the lobby and accused him of having worms so declined him and the rest of our crew. We checked for DAYS each and every dogs poop and saw NO SIGN. We later sent in a stool sample to the vet and it came back CLEAN. I asked what more they needed for proof? Then one of our pups stayed overnight and he came home with a cough. It continued to get worse so we took him to the vet to find out he had kennel cough. A week and half went by and our oldest dog during the night had difficulty breathing. That folllowing day we took her to vet and she was diagnosed with reversed sneezing but they got more cases of kennel cough. She then started vomiting and not eating so we rushed her to the ER where we were told she also had kennel cough. When emailing with hounds and tap they wanted to call and discuss this over the phone. I have a normal job and can’t just call during the day. They stated they were unable to take a phone call after 5pm. They followed up with an email and kind of pushing us away from the facility. I said we knew of 5 cases of kennel cough so at what point do they send out an email to parents? I said we had just purchased packages so we will stay and use those up. The manager Armon responded with you have been refunded for the packages. I want my dogs in the best care when we are not available to give them the love and attention they deserve. I think there response was very rude and disrespectful. My concern is with the dogs safety and to think they can just refund me money and everything will be fine? I don’t want other families to go through what we have.
