Sip. Stay. Play.
In Door Play and Pour is Door County's first indoor dog park and café, created to bring people and their pups together in a fun, welcoming environment. Located in downtown Sturgeon Bay, we offer separate play areas for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, along with comfortable spaces where owners can relax with coffee, snacks, and local beverages.
Whether you're looking for a place to socialize, need doggy daycare while you explore Door County, or want to participate in training opportunities through our partnership with Up A Level K9 Academy, we're here to make life better for both dogs and their humans.
Founded by dog lovers Brent Leatherman and Nicole Brunette, In Door Play and Pour is more than a dog park, it's a community space where everyone feels at home.
