Ultimate Guide to:

Dog-Friendly BREWERIES, TAPROOMS, PUBS & PATIOS

in Livermore


Nothing like crackin' a cold one with the crew on a sunny patio, and your dog sprawled out at your feet! Livermore's brewery scene is every bit as dog-friendly as its vineyards, with taprooms and beer gardens all over the Tri-Valley welcoming leashed pups onto patios, lawns, and even inside. As a dog owner myself, I'll take any excuse to bring mine along because why shouldn't she get to enjoy a flight with me?


Suds and a snout, hops and a hound, pints and paws, whatever you want to call it, there's a spot below for you and your best friend. Whether you're a local building out your weekend rotation or planning a Bay Area day trip, here's your guide to sipping beer with your dog by your side. Before you head out on your day for a bevvie, capture some special moments! I'd love to help with a relaxed photo session at one of these breweries or somewhere nearby. Reach out and let's plan your perfect brew day.
