Join us at Uptown Garage Brewery for Yappy Hour!

Join us for a dog-friendly happy hour that's all about good beer, great company, and supporting homeless pets at the ARL. Bring your drinking buddies (human and hound) for a tail-wagging good evening!

Humans can enjoy craft beers from Uptown Garage and the ARL will be selling our version of dog beer (beef broth with egg white foam on top) AND bark-uterie cups (peanut butter or Easy Cheese with treats on top). It's the perfect way to chill out and kick off your Friday evening!

A portion of the proceeds from the evening will go back to the ARL.

This is a FREE event, though we ask that you RSVP via the ticket link below.
