Dog park-bar concept Fetch to open a second location in Alpharetta

Another season of college football is upon us!

And college football fans of all shapes and sizes celebrated its arrival with the "Show Your Spirit and Dog Costume Contest" at Fetch Park and Ice House.

The ACC Network hosted the big event to celebrate the arrival of the 24/7 ACC Network. It launches Aug. 22.

Dozens of dogs arrived in their ACC best, like Super Duke.

Let's go jackets!

The North Carolina Tarheels were well represented!

The new network will feature 40 regular-season football games, 150 men’s and women’s basketball games, and 200 other regular-season competitions and tournament games from across the conference’s 27 sponsored sports.

The network kicks off its football slate with Georgia Tech vs. Clemson on Aug. 29 at 8 p.m.

ACC Network football analyst and former Georgia Tech star Roddy Jones served as a judge for the costume contest.

Somehow a couple of Bulldogs slipped through the mix...both the four-legged variety...

and the two-legged. That's former UGA QB Aaron Murray.

A trio of dogs took home prizes for their attire.

With the night's top prize going to this pooch representing Florida State.

A popular Old Fourth Ward dog park-bar hybrid is expanding.

Fetch, which opened in June 2018 at 520 Daniel St., announced yesterday that it will open a second metro Atlanta location in Alpharetta next year, Tomorrow's News Today first reported. Fetch is also slated to open a location in Nashville.

Co-owner Stpehen Ochs told the AJC that a specific address for the Alpharetta location will be released soon, but that it will be close to Ameris Bank Amphitheatre.

Ochs -- whose business partner is former Atlanta Falcons player Garrett Reynolds -- partners with local businesses, dog shelters and non-profits to raise money and awareness for local charities and organizations.

Fetch currently serves coffee and alcoholic beverages out of an Airstream trailer. A restaurant and bar, Fetch Ice House, will open on the property soon, serving "high end bar food with a Texas twist,” according to Ochs.

The park features outdoor TVs, wifi, cooling stations, a dog bath area and “Bark Rangers,” who monitor the dogs as they play. Visitors can pay a $10 daily fee to enter with their dogs, or choose from monthly, yearly or month-to-month membership packages.
