“SIT, STAY, DRINK, AND ENJOY!!!”
By Elvis Caron
Following up on the success of a new hybrid concept space opened in Charlotte, NC in 2005, Dog Bar opened their combination dog park and craft cocktail bar in St. Petersburg, FL in early 2016. Allowing dogs to socialize off leash with each other while their well-behaved humans hang out and drink together under the watchful eyes of Elvis Caron’s canines, Caron’s colorful welcome embodies the Dog Bar’s invitation to “Sit, Stay, Drink, and Enjoy.” Caron says he’s “dang near created everything you can think of, from illustration to web development, to murals and chainsaw art” but this was his first mural in the thriving Grand Central District—a hip section of Central Avenue designated as a national and state “Main Street community.” @elvis.caron
