Wagbar Knoxville is Taking Shape – Opening October 25th!

Wagbar Knoxville is Taking Shape – Opening October 25th!

The countdown is on, and we couldn't be more excited to share what's happening at our upcoming Knoxville location! If you've been following our journey, you know that Wagbar is coming to East Tennessee in a big way, and the progress at our former Creekside Knox site has been incredible.

Construction Progress is Rolling

Things are moving fast as we transform this space into Knoxville's premier off-leash dog park and bar. The fencing is going up beautifully – creating that secure, safe environment where your pups can run free while you relax with friends. Our team has been hard at work with painting throughout the property, and honestly, seeing it all come together has us more pumped than ever.

The signage is starting to appear around the property too, which means you'll soon see those familiar Wagbar markers that let you know you've found the right spot for some serious tail-wagging fun.

Beer Lovers, This One's for You

Here's something that has us really excited – our 10-tap draft beer system is going in this week! That's right, ten different options flowing fresh for our Knoxville community. Whether you're into local craft brews, classic favorites, or something in between, we're setting up to serve exactly what you're craving while your dog makes new friends in the park.

A Swimming Hole for the Dogs

But wait, there's more. We're adding something special that's going to make Knoxville dogs absolutely lose their minds with excitement – a swimming hole! Because what's better than watching your pup splash around with their new best friends while you sip a cold one? We can already picture those happy, tired dogs heading home after a perfect day at Wagbar.

Mark Your Calendars: October 25th

We're officially opening our doors on October 25th, and we can't wait to welcome Knoxville's dog-loving community. This is going to be the place where dogs run free, people connect, and everybody leaves with a smile.

Stay Connected for Updates

Want to catch every update as we put the finishing touches on Wagbar Knoxville? Follow us on social media and keep checking back here on our blog. We'll be sharing behind-the-scenes progress, sneak peeks of the space, and all the details you need to know before opening day.

The team behind Wagbar Knoxville – our incredible mother-daughter duo with their rescue background and passion for creating safe spaces for dogs – is bringing something truly special to East Tennessee. We're building more than just a dog park and bar; we're creating a community hub where every tail wags and every person feels welcome. See you October 25th, Knoxville! 🐾
