SPOTLIGHT — DALLAS DOXIES
Powered by the Dachshund Community
We’re proud to partner with Dallas Doxies, one of the most active dachshund communities in North Texas.
Their involvement helps ensure:
Strong racer participation
Experienced volunteers and handlers
A passionate, built-in audience of dachshund lovers
This isn’t just an event about dachshunds — it’s built with the dachshund community.
GRRROWLER’S isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s a destination built around community, craft beer, and dogs.
Located at The Shacks in The Colony, Texas, GRRROWLER’S is a dog-friendly tap room and beer garden overlooking one of North Texas’ most beloved dog parks. It’s where craft beer enthusiasts, dog lovers, and neighbors come together for something refreshingly different: a relaxed, welcoming environment designed for both people and pups.
GRRROWLER’S curates a rotating selection of high-quality craft beer, hosts engaging community events, and creates experiences that bring people together — from trivia nights and beer education classes to dog-centric festivals and seasonal celebrations. Their programming is intentionally designed to drive connection, support local organizations, and create memorable experiences that keep guests coming back.
More than just a bar, GRRROWLER’S is a community hub — partnering with local rescues, dog groups, breweries, and neighborhood businesses to create events that are fun, inclusive, and impactful. With a loyal local following and proven marketing reach, GRRROWLER’S consistently delivers strong engagement both online and in person.
Whether you're enjoying a craft beer on the patio, watching dogs play in the park, or attending one of their signature events, GRRROWLER’S offers a uniquely North Texas experience:
Great beer. Happy dogs. Strong community.
