Bad Dog Brewing Company

"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."

"Great place to hang out or hold an event. Great beer selection. Dogs are allowed and rooms upstairs for holding events. Check it out Bring food, or they have food trucks on site. Update.... I've been to 6 events, and I still think it's a cool place for parties . The one problem is there are no beer taps upstairs, so you order a beer at the bar, and then the bar tender has to run downstairs to get your beer. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool place, but the bad dog owners need to put taps upstairs. Or at least a cooler with beer so you don't have to wait."

"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!"

"What a great find on Easter Sunday! Amazing brewery, beautifully renovated in an old firehouse and next door to the Torrington Firehouse - refreshing selection of small batch brews from locally sourced ingredients. Relaxing and just a perfect way to chill after a morning ramble. Highly recommend!"

"I came here on a Sunday afternoon before seeing a play in the nearby Warner Theatre. Boy am I glad we stopped in! The brewery is in an old firehouse and had a great theme throughout. The decor was perfect and you literally sit in the old bays where the trucks were. The folks inside were so friendly and quick to offer recommendations and explain the place. There was an outdoor patio, an upstairs with tvs, and the big downstairs near the bar. A super nice layout. They had a 12 tasting flight, the biggest I've ever seen, and loved to be able to try all the beers. The hefeweizen was really good followed by the Vienna ale. Overall highly recommend a stop in!I came here on a Sunday afternoon before seeing a play in the nearby Warner Theatre. Boy am I glad we stopped in!
