Bark Bar Permanently Closes Its Little Rock Gates

Bark Bar & Grille, the Little Rock dog park, bar and restaurant located at 1201 S Spring Street, is closing its gates permanently.

The business announced the decision in a Facebook post on Aug. 29, thanking the people and pets who made Bark Bar part of the Little Rock community.

“Bark Bar has always been so much more than a dog park, bar, or restaurant. It became a community—a place where friendships were made, dogs found their best friends, birthdays were celebrated, drinks were shared, and an incredible number of memories were created.”

The Bark Bar team also thanked customers who visited with their dogs, attended events, grabbed a burger, supported the staff or simply made the business part of their routines.

“We are incredibly proud of what Bark Bar has meant to Little Rock, and even more grateful to the people and pups who made it special.”

The post did not provide a reason for the closure.

“While this chapter is ending, the friendships and memories made here will always be part of the Bark Bar story,” the team wrote. “Thank you for being part of our pack. We’ll miss you more than we can say.”
