New Greenbelt social club plans ‘a little bit of magic’ for people, pets

A new social club is going to the dogs in Garden City.

Stockyard Social is bringing a new concept to the former home of Clubhound, which closed in May.

Located at 415 Remington St, Stockyard promises to have something for everyone, with a dog social club, market, coffee shop, beer bar, sauna, cold plunge, and event space for Boise-area dog lovers.

The club is marketed as “An all-day community campus on the Greenbelt… a little bit of magic everywhere you look.”

Chrissy Larsen is one of the owners of Stockyard Social.

“From the moment you walk in the door, it’s not just one thing,” Larsen said. “We hope to be a destination experience.”

The 2.5-acre parcel will feature an indoor hall, a bar, coffee bar, televisions, roll-up doors, fenced outdoor play areas, patios, utilities, and more.

“What we are trying to do is create community and connection for people and their pets,” Larsen said.

What’s inside Stockyard Social

Morning Club will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and will not allow dogs, with a coffee bar and food available at a coffee counter called The Roost.

The preliminary menu includes smoothies, breakfast bowls, and coffee items.

After 10 a.m., the campus transitions into its dog-friendly daytime rhythm.

The Yard is “the social heart of the campus — for dogs and the people attached to them,” according to Larsen. It will feature indoor and outdoor off-leash play, giving members a place to exercise and socialize.

The Clubhouse is the main-floor gathering place and offers drop-in work seating and communal tables along with community “office hours.” The Loft, an upstairs lounge within The Clubhouse, sits at 1,500 sq ft and includes a merchandise market, coworking spaces, quiet rooms, and a production studio.

“We’ll have a production studio for our park partners,” Larsen said. “We’ll have a whole marketing system that is part of it that we help to collaboratively market all of the pet businesses in the valley and connect them together.”

The Watering Hole is a neighborhood bar within Stockyard and will have a full bar top, five existing televisions, and a roll-up door connecting the bar to the yard.

The Market inside Stockyard Social will feature three distinct retail experiences, including the Everyday Market, which offers preordered meat or dog food, fresh treats, and local provisions.

“We have Stockyard Steak, which is a whole steak line available in our market. We’ve partnered with IDA Meats out of Burley, and we will have a food truck outside that is Stockyard Steaks’ brand, so we will be able to serve barbecue as well,” Larsen said. “We’ll also bring in rotating food trucks.”

The Outdoor Market will be a flexible gathering place for local makers, growers, food vendors, and community partners. And last but not least, the Swag Shop in the upstairs lounge will offer Stockyard apparel, dog gear, local gifts, and limited seasonal releases. Larsen said she hopes to open the Market to the public on October 23.

Private cabanas will also be available for all-day stays for guests and their dogs.

A future Recovery Yard will add sauna and cold plunge options through a separate all-day entrance, according to Stockyard Social’s website.

The social club is also marketing “dog-free nights” where the pups go home, and the campus becomes a grown-up gathering place with event space for country dancing, live music, themed parties, community dinners, comedy, and private events.

Membership

Membership options include $45 for a standard monthly pass, with $15-20 day passes. If members sign up before November 15, they can get special pricing on their three-year “Pack Pass” membership and be among the first to experience Stockyard Social during its grand opening on November 15 from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Those who join the Pack Pass, Larsen said, will receive a custom cooler to fill with raw dog food and Stockyard Steaks, which will be available on site in their market.

And as for Clubhound fans, don’t fret; dogs are still very much part of the plan.

“The Stockyard hopes to honor what that community loved and carry its spirit forward — while opening the gates to even more ways for people to connect,” according to the Stockyard’s website. Larsen said to reach out to Stockyard Social, which will honor the memberships of previous Clubhound members.

“We are hoping to be a community space for the pet community,” Larsen said. “That’s what we are trying to create: a place that people and their pets feel like they can come to and they’re home”
