Ivy is an English Setter who lives in the Northside of Lexington with her humans. By 1 year old, Ivy had visited every dog-friendly brewery on the Brewgrass Trail. These are her brewery "tails."
Burl Brew may have a brewery cat, Burly, but with three cat siblings, that just makes Ivy feel right at home. Burl Brew also welcome dogs inside and out. With lots of TVs to catch the big game for humans, Ivy likes to lounge on their couches or cool concrete floor to cool off in the summer.
Does everyone at West Sixth have a dog? Maybe. With an indoor beer garden with cold floors and a large patio, West Sixth offers a comfortable canine hospitality experience. With dog bowls at the ready and a big bin of treats behind the bar, West Sixth is the perfect place for a yappy hour. And if a pup needs to stretch their legs? There’s Coolavin Park right across the street where they can run around!
COUNTRY BOY - LEXINGTON
Stop into this classic Lexington brewery and you'll be rewarded with great beers, friendly staff, and lots of pups. Dog friendly inside and outside at their Lexington location, Ivy loves to relax on their expanded patio next to their food truck where she hopes someone will drop some of their delicious food. They always have a treat waiting for her behind the bar and lots of dog bowls for use.
Indoor and outdoor, Mirror Twin is a doggie paradise. With toys and water bowls ready for use, Mirror Twin can become a puppy playground with plenty of outdoor space and always lots of local dogs. If they run out of treats, they’ll give you some pepperoni from their in-house pizza restaurant, Rolling Oven.
Goodwood's Lexington location has a pet-friendly patio. When the weather is nice, dogs are welcome. Order yourself a beer while you order your dog a treat, made with their spent grain.
ETHEREAL – DISTILLERY DISTRICT
While all the Ethereal locations love dogs, only Ethereal in the Distillery District is dog friendly indoors. (Check out the patios at Ethereal Public House and Ethereal Cornerstone too!) Ethereal Brewing is located right in the center of all the fun in the Distillery District and dogs are welcome inside and out. With cool concrete floors to help cool down pups on hot days or the breeze from the Town Branch Creek at the patio, Ethereal’s options for pups and humans alike is unsurpassed!
Another stop in the Distillery District and with a big patio on the Town Branch, Wise Bird has treats behind the bar and lots of love from all the bartenders. Wise Bird also sells dog merchandise so wrap your pup up in a fun Wise Bird bandana to keep them stylish. Located along Town Branch Creek also gives pups a nice little strip to walk around and play!
Your dog might not be able to drink your beer, but they'll sure be tempted at Blue Stallion. Blue Stallion welcomes pups of all shapes and sizes outside on their patio. Ivy loves to join her humans' trivia team on Thursday nights - where lots of people gather to play - and pet her, of course!
Ivy's favorite stop after coming back from hiking at the Pinnacles in Berea, Dreaming Creek in Richmond is a great place to relax and enjoy a craft brew out of the city. Richmond's only brewery serves up delicious brews and has water bowls for dogs. With a large selection of board games for humans to choose from, the concrete floors are welcome resting spot after a long day of hiking or exploring.
