A Toast to New Beginnings.Pup Social’s Soft Opening
Our First Night, a Birthday, and a Beautiful Start
On Friday, April 26, we opened our doors—and our hearts—to the very first guests of Pup Social, Chicago’s newest dog-friendly bar and off-leash park that took over the site of old Green Dolphin night club. The occasion was extra special: not only was it our soft opening, but it also coincided with our founder’s birthday. Talk about good vibes and great timing!
The night was filled with firsts: the first happy barks, first cold drinks poured, and first tail wags in our dog-friendly lounge. Guests mingled, pups explored, and the entire space buzzed with energy and curiosity. It was the perfect introduction to our Off Leash-inspired concept to friends & family: a place where humans can unwind and dogs can feel right at home.
Behind the scenes? Butterflies. Excitement. And gratitude. This night marked the beginning of what we hope becomes a true community hub—one drink, one pawshake, and one connection at a time.
