The Brig

$ · BudgetLeashed only

A spacious outdoor beer garden on Barracks Row with 21 draft lines, German and local beers, cocktails, and bar food, plus big screens for watch parties. The venue advertises itself as a dog-friendly and kid-friendly space with a large heated patio for year-round use.

Why it made the list

The huge open-air patio means your leashed dog has room to settle in while you watch the game in any season.

Good to know before you go

Dogs are welcome on the dog-friendly patio when leashed, per thebrigdc.com; indoor rules follow DC health-code limits. Winter hours are reduced and early openings happen for Bayern Munich matches — check posted hours on the website. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.

Practical notes

  • Grab a picnic table away from the entrance door for your dog.
  • Winter domes and heated seating keep dogs comfortable in cold months.
