Austin Beerworks

While we adore Austin Beerworks for their beer, it wasn’t until recently that we started taking our pups along with us to their brewery. Why? Dogs used to not be allowed on their turfed patio, but now they are! So grab those puppers and enjoy some of the best brews in town!

Beerburg

The newest brewery along what I call the “Beermuda Triangle” (you know what I’m talking about), Beerburg has a huge dog-friendly beer garden for you and your pup to hang out in. Since they do make food in-house, pups are not allowed in the taproom, but that’s okay because they have their very own fenced-in dog park on the grounds. Great job targeting the ATX dog owners, Beerburg!

Bell Springs Brewing Company

Chalk another one up to the Hill Country — Bell Springs Brewing opened next to their 10-year-old winery and is already serving up some incredible brews. They have a huge beer and wine garden to bring the pups out to, plus their air-conditioned taproom is also dog-friendly.

Bluebonnet Beer Company

Bluebonnet crafts some delicious beers out of their quaint brewery, which allows dogs inside and outside... However, the brewery can get pretty crowded, so plan on getting there early if you want a spot inside.

Blue Owl Brewing

Whether you’re a sour (beer) person or not, we always recommend that people at least try one from Blue Owl’s. The best part is that dogs are allowed in their taproom and covered patio, however, it can get crowded fast, so be sure to get there early to nab a spot in the AC.

The Brewtorium Brewery & Kitchen

While we love this place, they unfortunately don’t allow dogs in their taproom. However, they do have a nicely shaded patio that welcomes dogs, but there isn’t a lot of air flow, so it can get pretty warm. Still worth it if you can make it on a not-so-hot day!

Central District Brewing

Unfortunately, due to city regulations Central District is not dog-friendly at all.

Central Machine Works

The only thing “micro” about this microbrewery is their beer production, only having one to three of their own beers on tap at a time. Their huge dog-friendly space makes up for it, and they have plenty of other guest beers for you to drink while you visit.

Celis Brewery

We recommend Celis to everyone with a dog because, duh, AC! Yup, they allow dogs both inside their taproom and outside on their patio/parking lot area.

Draught House Pub & Brewery

This British-style pub/brewery is another go-to spot while up North. They have a huge dog-friendly patio which stays nicely shaded and breezy.

Hi Sign Brewing

Located right by the Airport, Hi Sign allows dogs in their air-conditioned taproom and in their outdoor patio (which is more like a gorgeous backyard). Keep in mind that it can get pretty noisy due to the airport, so we recommend bringing pups who don’t get anxious with loud noises.

Hopsquad Brewing Co

One of Austin’s newest (and most anticipated) breweries, Hopsquad’s spacious and open-concept taproom is totally dog-friendly. Since it’s new, it is often crowded, so we recommend getting there early to grab a good spot inside.

Independence Brewing Co.

While they used to allow dogs inside, Independence Brewing currently only allows dogs in their outdoor area. There isn’t a lot of shade (plus it’s in the parking lot), so we only recommend bringing the doggos when it’s cool outside.

Infamous Brewing Company

Another brewery totally worth the drive is Infamous (can we count that as a pun?). They allow dogs in their air-conditioned taproom, as well as on their partly-shaded patio.

Jester King Brewery

One of our all-time favorite breweries, Jester King, is extremely dog-friendly. They have a huge plot of land, and dogs are allowed almost everywhere. It does get pretty hot, but they have lots of shaded spots with fans and misters.

Last Stand Brewing Bar and Kitchen

Dogs are not allowed in the taproom at Last Stand, but they are welcome on their nicely shaded patio. If you’re coming during the heat of the summer, get there early to grab a spot in the shade!

Lazarus Brewing Co. East 6th

Lazarus features a dog-friendly room which is nicely covered and air-conditioned. They do not have bar service in that room, so you’ll have to either bring a friend or tie your pup up when you’re ready to order.

Live Oak Brewing Company

While dogs are not allowed in the taproom, Live Oak has a gorgeous back patio in which almost every seat is shaded by giant trees, making it a perfect spot to bring your dog.

Nomadic Beerworks

Austin’s newest brewery, Nomadic, is already doing. it. right, by allowing dogs inside their cool taproom. They also have a small outdoor area with lots of grass in case someone needs to potty.

Oddwood Brewing

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the Oddwood Ales taproom, and their patio is fairly small and uncovered. Because of that, we don’t recommend bringing your pups here unless it’s a decent temperature outside.

Pinthouse Pizza

Since they make food in-house, dogs are not allowed in the taproom. This location has a couple of outdoor tables, but no shade, so we only recommend bringing your pup on cooler days.

Red Horn Coffee House and Brewing Co.

Serving both beer and coffee, Red Horn is one of my favorite work-from-home spots. Dogs are allowed on the nicely shaded patio and on their covered deck.

Rentsch Brewery

If you’re up for the drive, this is one of our favorite dog-friendly spots in North Austin. They have a great covered patio, as well as grassy areas that are partially shaded.

Southern Heights Brewing Company

A great warehouse-style brewery, Southern Heights allows dogs in their breezy taproom as well as on their covered patio.

St. Elmo Brewing Company

While we adore St. Elmo, their partially covered patio can get pretty hot and sunny on those pesky summer (and spring and fall) days. They do not allow dogs in their taproom, so we either recommend getting there super early to grab a shaded spot or leaving your dogs at home if it’s uncomfortably hot out.

Suds Monkey Kitchen & Brewery Dripping Springs

A great option for those super-South Austinites, as they allow dogs in their air-conditioned taproom.

Twisted X Brewing Company

Another great brewery in the Dripping Springs area, Twisted X allows dogs both in their air-conditioned taproom and on their gorgeous patio. Totally worth the drive if you ask us!

Vista Brewing

A great location out in the Hill Country, dogs are allowed in the air-conditioned taproom plus all over their grounds (keep those leashes on, please).

Whitestone Brewery

A great dog-friendly option for those up North, Whitestone allows dogs on their covered and breezy patio.

Zilker Brewing Company and Taproom

Zilker allows dogs on their covered patio, but it can get pretty warm during the summer, so get there early to snag one of the best spots! They even have some great doggy merch, so be on the lookout for that, too.

12 Fox Beer Co

Dripping Springs has another fantastic brewery! 12 Fox has a property made up of a few acres, all of which are dog-friendly. They have a lot of outdoor picnic tables with lots of room for the pups, as well as a covered (but open/no AC) taproom. Definitely a must-stop if you’re driving that way!

(512) Brewing Company

We’re waiting to get full confirmation on this one, but for now, it appears that 512 has a few outdoor tables where dogs are allowed!
