As we close our doors today, please know that we are so thankful for the community you guys built in the park. We have enjoyed making your ruff days better the last two years.

We don’t like good-byes, so make sure to come out today to say “See you later”.

To our Ruff Draft community:

We are sad to say that our last day open will be this Saturday, November 16th. This last 2 years has been a wild ride, and we have loved getting to know and serve all of our human and pup regulars alike. Unfortunately we just haven’t been able to develop enough traction to keep the business afloat. Thank you to everybody who has supported us over this last couple of years and made our little community what it is. While we’re sad to see it go, we’re excited to see the space get transformed for its next chapter. It’s a tough time out here, so please make sure to support your local bars and restaurants as much as you can.

This one’s going to be good. Here’s our November specialty cocktail, the Sampson. A chocolate caramel White Russian. We’re going to be sipping on this all month long. 🍂

Meet Sampson! Our November Pup of the Month. Rescued by his parents on the side of I-40, this happy 5 year old loves hiking in the mountains with his dad, long walks downtown, and all the clothes his mom buys him! Sam prefers people to toys or rough housing and is always eager to make a new friend to get as many free pets as possible. He is charming and patient to a fault. He has two siblings (cats) that he is very protective over, and of course, he’s got the best ear floofs in the business. See if you can guess any of his breeds!
