Orlando, FL (RestaurantNews.com) This Valentine’s Day, love goes to the dogs. Orlando’s ultimate canine paradise and community social hub, BarkHaven, is redefining date night with a new festive and inclusive “Pawsitively in Love” Valentine’s experience for couples, singles and dog lovers and their four-legged Valentines. On Saturday, February 14, 2026 starting at 4pm, BarkHaven guests can choose between a Dinner for Two with a Pup Plate or a Single and Pup Valentine’s Meal, ensuring every human and their dog get to enjoy a special meal together. The evening also features signature His and Hers cocktails, a Valentine photo booth and a Valentine’s Couple Packet filled with interactive mini games and playful prompts. With festive décor and a welcoming, pressure-free atmosphere, BarkHaven is offering a fun way for guests to celebrate love with their partner, their pup, or both.
BarkHaven also enters its second year with an expanded event calendar, including weekly recurring nights for members, breed meet-ups, free billiards and live DJs as part of BarkHaven’s exciting new late night launch. In addition, BarkHaven is hosting more monthly social events, tournaments and community-driven experiences, including all this February – karaoke, beer pong, cornhole, wine down and a special “Bark Bowl” Super Bowl weekend party. Plus, new this year, BarkHaven members receive expanded perks like exclusive member events, priority access to programming and discounts on food, beverage and merchandise.
“We are extremely grateful for the phenomenal response the animal-loving community of Orlando has shown us in our first year,” says General Manager Amber Jackson. “BarkHaven started with a simple question: Why don’t more places exist where people and their dogs can genuinely spend time together? BarkHaven was created as a gathering place for the whole pack – a safe, welcoming space where neighbors can meet, friendships can form and dogs are free to play while their humans relax, eat and connect. It’s the city’s only venue where people and dogs can fully enjoy time together in one space – a concept truly one-of-a-kind in Orlando.
“We are excited for all of the fun new events and programs we’re offering this year like our Pawsitively in Love Valentine’s, and we look forward to continuing to build community, strengthen the bonds between people and their dogs and create a place where everyone feels they belong,” continues Assistant General Manager Chase Bowden.
First open on November 21, 2025, BarkHaven is a full-service restaurant and bar with a scratch-made kitchen, a supervised off-leash dog park and on-site grooming facilities. Located between Ivanhoe Village and Mills 50, the venue offers a beer garden with fire pits, 18 large TVs, indoor games (pool/darts) and private event rentals, along with regular dog birthday celebrations and community gatherings. After dark, BarkHaven comes alive with late-night vibes and a live DJ every Friday and Saturday, making it a unique destination for both dogs and their humans.
