Fairmount is going to the dogs! Literally.

A new, locally owned indoor-outdoor dog bar is opening in the former North Star Bar next spring. Combining cocktails and wagging tails, The Boozy Mutt is an off-leash dog park, bar, and grill allowing customers to let their four-legged best friends play and romp throughout the facility, all while dog lovers enjoy craft cocktails, beers, a bite to eat, and a front row seat to the mutt madness.

The 7,500 square-foot indoor-outdoor facility with 140 seats will open late Spring 2023 at 2639 Poplar Street in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood by newlywed entrepreneurs Sam and Allison Mattiola. 

This interactive new concept invites dog owners and dog lovers alike to spend quality time together in a safe, fun, and upscale environment. Humans get to enjoy the ambiance, elevated bar food, and upscale beverages while their furry friends socialize inside the two-story building or in the outdoor yard. There will even be a menu for pooches to enjoy a selection of treats.

Sam and Allison are working closely with the Philadelphia Health Department to ensure that the business is up to code to be fully operational to allow dogs both inside and outside off leash. 

Don’t have a dog? No problem. You don’t need a dog to join in on the fun.

To ensure the ulti-mutt experience for the dogs and guests alike, The Boozy Mutt team will include trained “Rufferees” stationed throughout the facility. Rufferees will not only keep the dog play in check, but will also help to keep everyone safe, replenish water bowls, and maintain cleanliness.
