Devil's advocate: this would be a horrible office for a teetotaler with a pet allergy, an alcoholic who wants to quit (possibly - from a productivity standpoint - also one who doesn't), or someone with dog-related trauma. None of that describes me, but just saying. For me, frankly, that seems like a distracting work environment that values camaraderie more than productivity; there's nothing wrong with the former but it shouldn't come at expense of the latter (and the converse feels like a weaker assumption).
Some people have a genuine preference for a brutalist cube farm and it's not because their aesthetics barometer is malfunctioning.
And that right there is the absolute glory of the home office. You can be in a brutalist white noise ADHD de-stimulation box and I can be in my bathrobe with fuzzy slippers, winter spice tea, groovy bass tunes and pup curled at my feet. Our worlds need not collide.
Indeed - lest my comment be taken as pro-office, it absolutely was not. Just that dogs and bar is what I would want if I were to leave my home office which has both.
