One of the main reasons Paw & Pints owners, Kyle and Megan Casey, were brought together was their love and affection for dogs. They currently have three members of their canine tribe, Kora, Murphy and Myers, and love to take them everywhere they can.  They both spent many years working in corporate America before deciding they wanted something different.

While on a trip in Colorado they fell in love with the idea of a dog park bar concept, where dog owners can come together to enjoy a cocktail while their dogs can exercise and socialize. They immediately put the idea into action by setting out to find a bigger, and more exciting way to bring the DSM dog community together. After a year of extensive research, they decided it was time to take the next step toward opening a canine oasis of their own.

Paws & Pints was built around two things, bringing the dog owner community together, while also catering to the everyday needs of dog owners.  The name represents just that. “Paws” refers to the extensive list of dog-related services, including grooming, daycare, lodging and training, while “Pints” represents the full bar, restaurant and coffee shop. From the beginning, the goal was to create a business that catered to dogs and their owners at the same time and create a membership that truly has value.  And while Paws & Pints is a small business located in the heart of Central Iowa, Megan and Kyle have taken action to build Paws & Pints into a national brand while continuing to eye opportunities to bring the business to other communities.

In fact, for the past four years, the pair, along with their business partners, have worked hard and made heavy investments to build a concept and a brand that is original and recognizable, as well as prepare for future nation-wide growth and expansion. Paws & Pints is truly unique because it’s the first concept to bring this specific collection of services together, plus a hospitality component, under one roof.   The mission is to provide a one of a kind experience for all the dogs and dog owners and that’s why they have gone to the lengths they have to create such a unique space and protect all aspects of their brand.

From all of the owners and team members at Paws & Pints, Your Best Friend’s Bar, Mo’Tail & Spaw and the Bonetqiue, THANK YOU for all your continued support!
