House policies.

The short list of rules that keep Dogwood the good time it is. Read before your first visit — group bookings should read all the way through.

01

Age policy.

Dogwood is a sports bar first and a family destination second — that means our rules shift as the night moves on. Daytime is open to all ages; late night belongs to adults.

  • Before 9pm: All ages welcome with parent or guardian
  • After 9pm: 21+ only · Valid ID required
  • Axe throwing: 21+ at all times · No exceptions
  • Beer wall: 21+ · Wristband required · We scan IDs
  • Bar bingo: 21+ regardless of time
Heads up
"We card hard. Bring a valid government-issued ID even if you look 35. Expired IDs aren't accepted, and we don't take photos of IDs as proof."
02

Dress code.

Keep it casual but not sloppy. Sports bar means jeans, sneakers, hoodies — all welcome. We just ask you skip a few things that have caused issues in the past.

  • Welcome: Jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, hoodies, hats
  • Welcome: Athletic wear, workwear, business casual
  • Not allowed: Visible offensive graphics or language
  • Not allowed: Bare feet · Shirtless · Swimwear
  • Axe throwing requires: Closed-toe shoes (no flip flops, slides, sandals)
03

Waivers & safety.

For axe throwing and any group activity involving instructors, all participants must complete a signed waiver before throwing. Save time by completing the online waiver before arrival.

  • Required for: Axe throwing · Showdown team building
  • Online waiver: Linked from our reservation confirmation
  • Minors (axe excluded): Parent/guardian must sign
  • Valid for: 12 months from signature date

The beer wall.

Our self-serve beer wall is the heart of Dogwood. You pour, the card tracks, you stop when you want. A few things to know before your first pour.

  • Card limit: 32 oz max per session · refill at bar after that
