Mutts & Martinis now open, Florida’s first dog waterpark and full liquor bar

Get your dog wet and your martini dry. Mutts and Martinis officially opens at noon today, a new dog waterpark and bar at 2900 Central Avenue, offering playtime for dogs and dog parents alike.

The massive space in Grand Central has been under construction for some time, and the highly anticipated grand opening was officially announced last week. Ownership is calling Mutts and Martinis “Florida’s first dog waterpark and full liquor bar.”

While we wait for our first visit, sneak peeks show a huge space (the building is the former Kings Transmissions), with two large rooms offering plenty of room for activities. Pictures and renderings also show an outdoor pool area with obstacles and toys, as well as covered seating areas.

Opening weekend festivities include a DJ, a light food menu, and of course, the dog pool and a full bar. Mutts & Martinis says membership and day pass details will be shared soon, but announced the following requirements for dog entry:

  • A copy of up to date vaccines for rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and bordetella
  • Male dogs over 18 months must be neutered
  • All dogs may be temperament tested

Oasis Pavers and Pools led the design and construction on the dog pool, as the celebrated local company turned its talents to canine structures. Their pool design will give dogs an easy spot to cool off and play in the water.

Mutts and Martinis is being opened by the same minds behind the two Love My Dog Resorts in St. Petersburg, the upscale dog daycare and boarding facilities, as well as Love My Dog Grooming and Boutique.

The new spot is opening in a very dog-friendly neighborhood, of course, as Grand Central, the Warehouse Arts District and Historic Kenwood are home not only to hundreds of dogs, but the Burg’s best dog parties and celebrations year-round. St. PetersBARK is a popular pet market just across the street, and Dog Bar has long been a staple in the neighborhood as a combo dog park and bar. The nearby and newly-opened Zoie’s, in fact, is named for the owner’s chihuahua.
