Love the sours at this brewery and it’s amazing that it is dog friendly!! I brought Daisy today and the staff was super accommodating, they filled her water bowl, and she met the patrons who wanted to meet her. Great aesthetic and atmosphere with multiple flatscreen tvs broadcasting the games. Awesome time here, per usual:)

4 stars for the incredible space/building and service. I still don't like their beverages. We had a party of maybe 25 people and most of them still weren't enjoying what they had purchased. I think we forced ourselves to finish our beers/wine & or selzter because they are so expensive. I've read reviews that said they've gotten better since they've opened, but we don't think so.

Great atmosphere, nice people, and awesome food truck. We asked about going on the fire truck and the bartender said it was okay as long as kids weren’t running. Another staff member then told us not to be on the fire truck, other than that we had a great time.

Beautiful large building with some delicious beer . My friend and I both got a flight so we could them all. There are also wine options. They also had a small food menu but we don't try the food, maybe next time. Would like to go back in warmer weather.

The inside is really beautiful. They did such a great job remodeling the old fire house. They have an old (but restored) fire truck and police motorcycle. There are lots of seats and they have games. The beer was good and the staff was friendly. There don't serve food, but did have a food truck. I would recommend going with family or friends for a fun night out.

The cider beer was extremely expensive and you couldn't find a bartender so I won't go again almost $20 for two cider beers is absolutely ridiculous. And no food.

Nice atmosphere and the selection of drinks is good. It's also ideal for adult birthday parties and gatherings

Incredible place! Great beer and an historic ambiance. The attention to detail and creative touch can't be beat. Cannot recommend enough!

First off, very cool place! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the place's history and of course the beers on tap. If you go and expect a food truck, call them up to see if any food trucks are there. If not you can bring your own. Also very dog friendly! They even encourage it! Definitely going back!

They get 3 stars since I didn't actually try anything. They don't serve any food here, you have to order in from another restaurant that will deliver. They should display this somewhere on their website, I wasted my limited time.

They are not just dog friendly they are dog encouraging. Staff is beyond friendly and the atmosphere is one of a kind. Need a relaxing time with your pup or not highly recommend Bad Dog

I'll preface that I'm not a fan of pets in public places, especially where food and drinks are served. But this brewery is very big and spacious indoors that i felt comfort with all the dogs there. The beer was fantastic. I liked that there's space for all sorts of folks. Those with little kids, those on dates, those who want to watch TV/sports, those who want to hang, host parties, private rooms can be reserved, etc. I will definitely come back.

We visited Bad Dog for the first time because we were chasing a food truck, and we’re so happy it led us here! I love how the brewery has really made an effort to preserve the history of the building, which was previously a firehouse, and has antiques throughout. My fiancé enjoyed his beer, and the food truck they were hosting that evening was great. We chatted briefly with one of the owners, who was very nice and invited us to check out their private event space upstairs which was beautiful! They had nice live music, and I hear they have great trivia nights that we’ll have to come back and check out. There were a plethora of games to play while you hang out too. Super wholesome place that gave us Vermont vibes!
