Bar-K and Red Solo Pup will be two of Oklahoma City’s newest places to hang out with your family and your furry friend come next year.

Right now, Oklahoma City doesn’t have any place like the two. While the concepts are similar, the owners of the venues got started very differently.

“It celebrates the bond where people can bring their dogs with them instead of leaving them at home because who would want to leave and important family member at home when going out to eat or drink?” said Dave Hensley, the co-owner of Bar-K.

They already have locations up and going in Kansas City, but Hensley said Oklahoma City was an area they saw potential in.

The other coming soon, Red Solo Pup, is owned by Julianne Thomas. Thomas said she wanted to name her dream restaurant/bar after their dog, Solo, who died two years ago.

"We've done our research. There are some in Florida. They are all over the place. We were like, 'that is a great idea and Oklahoma needs something like that,'” said Thomas.

Although both places are waiting for construction to get underway, the owners said they are glad that they have venues that will allow for a lot of outdoor space so people can social distance.

"Right now, we don’t know what will happen with social distancing and we don’t know what that will be like,” said Thomas. “So, we will have plenty of space so you can hang out with your family away from others and still enjoy the weather."

Both places are set to open in 2021.
