Our Story
Black Dog Pub was created by Marc and Peggy Driskill with a shared vision of building a place that brings people together. From the start, they set out to create a neighborhood pub with live music multiple nights a week, thoughtful perks for regulars, & a strong connection to the surrounding community.
Marc, who has long worked alongside songwriters and artists, wanted to create a space that truly supports live music — a place where musicians are heard, valued, & given the opportunity to succeed.
Peggy’s focus was creating an atmosphere that feels comfortable & familiar — the kind of place where you want to sit back with a pint and spend time with family & friends.
Together, they transformed an old house — previously used as an office space — into a cozy indoor-outdoor pub filled with beautiful antiques & vintage charm, with a patio where guests can gather & dogs are welcome.
"We wanted to create a place where
everyone feels like family- including dogs."
