Dorchester Brewing Co.

$$ · ModerateLeashed only

A large Boston taproom on Mass Ave with more than 20 tap lines, slushies, M&M BBQ on site, skee-ball and a four-season rooftop greenhouse with skyline views. Dogs are explicitly part of the setup, with leashed pups welcome on both the first- and second-floor outdoor patios year-round.

Why it made the list

A dog-welcoming brewery where pups and pints meet on two levels of patio, with the Museum of Bad Art thrown in for free.

Good to know before you go

The official FAQ states 'Dogs are always welcome on our 1st and 2nd floor outdoor patios!' — so dogs are patio-only, not inside the taproom. Check the website's hours page for current taproom and rooftop times since they were not published on the page reviewed.

Practical notes

  • Dogs are patio-only, so pick a mild day
  • Try a slushie while your pup claims the patio corner

What is available on site

  • Shaded seating
