Dog-Friendly Breweries for Winter in MA

Jumbo UNO and a side of Reggie under the table at River Styx in Fitchburg (sadly, now closed!)

There comes a point every winter where you and your dog sync up and go stir crazy from being in the house together 24/7. At this point, you can lean into the crazy and start filming dog TikToks… or you can follow my lead and visit one of these dog-friendly breweries in Massachusetts. Each one has been personally vetted by me/Reggie and allows dogs INSIDE during the winter. Because no one wants to channel Winter 2021 and freeze to death under a woefully under-gunned patio heater amidst -20 wind chill.

Untold, Scituate MAOne of the few South Shore breweries that treat dogs and babies the same: they must be monitored for everyone to have a good time. Untold’s indoor bar area and schoolhouse room are both dog-friendly and they usually feature a local food truck and live acoustic music on the weekends.

Stellwagen, Marshfield MADogs are allowed inside this massive brewery space as well as outside in an enclosed run area.

Widowmaker, Braintree MAAnother toasty indoor spot that not only allows dogs but actively loves and encourages their presence.

Treehouse, Charlton MAA massive complex that allows dogs inside.

Park 9, Everett MAThis is a bar/restaurant that’s also a dog park, all indoors of course.

Castle Island, Norwood MA: Large brewery with good food; allows dogs inside.

Break Rock, Quincy MA: An airy modern brewery on the water in Marina Bay that allows dogs inside.

Redemption Rock, Worcester MA: A central MA spot that allows dogs inside but really is asking for trouble with the astroturf flooring.

River Styx, Fitchburg MA: Huge brewery with tons of games and a food truck outside. [CLOSED IN 2023]
