At Paws On Tap, our mission is to create a place where people and pups can gather, connect, and truly feel at home. That vision is made stronger by the heart and community focus of our co-owner, Pam Koehler.
Pam brings not only business experience, but a deep-rooted commitment to building welcoming environments — the kind where people feel comfortable the moment they walk through the door.
A Foundation Built on Comfort and Care
Pam has called this area home since graduating from law school. After spending more than 20 years practicing with a firm, she made the decision to open her own practice.
Her goal was simple but powerful: create a more comfortable, less stressful experience for both clients and staff. She believed that professional spaces didn’t have to feel intimidating — they could feel warm, supportive, and human.
That belief now carries into Paws On Tap.
Meet the Ambassadors: Nigel & Blueberry
If you’ve spent any time around Pam, you know her love for dogs runs deep.
Her law office has two full-time “ambassadors” — Nigel and Blueberry — who help set the tone for a welcoming, relaxed environment every single day. They aren’t just office pets; they’re part of the experience.
It’s no surprise that when Pam heard about Chad’s vision for a dog-friendly taproom, she instantly felt connected to the idea.
Why Paws On Tap Felt Like Home
When Chad shared his dream of building a self-serve, dog-friendly taproom, Pam immediately saw the opportunity to help create something special for the community.
A place where you can:
- Pour yourself a great drink
- Enjoy a tasty snack
- Catch up with friends
- And let your furry best friend enjoy a pup cup
Paws On Tap is designed to bridge the gap between traditional restaurants and dog parks — creating a space where connection happens naturally and dogs are always part of the experience.
Rooted in Whitestown, Built for Community
Pam is proud to be part of the growing Whitestown and Boone County community, and she’s excited to help bring something new and meaningful to the area.
Paws On Tap is more than a business venture. It’s a place built around comfort, connection, and shared experiences.
Opening Spring 2026, we can’t wait to welcome you through the doors.
Be Part of the Community
Now that Paws On Tap is officially open, we invite you to stop by and become part of the community we’ve been working to create.
Come explore the self-pour taps, enjoy something from the food menu, relax in the beer garden, and experience Paws On Tap for yourself – with or without a dog by your side.
We built this space for people, pups, and community, and we’re excited to welcome you.
