Wet Dog Tavern - Washington

Nice outdoor area, dog friendly, and helpful staff. If you just want a beer its a good place to go!

I passed Wet Dog Tavern on the way to dinner the other night and told my husband we should stop by after for a drink and see what the vibe was like. It is a small tavern, but definitely has a cool converted industrial building atmosphere. The outdoor patio provides for additional space to hang out and play corn hole or watch sports on there large wall projection. It was chilly that night and they did have several gas heat lamps going, which you could see groups of folks huddled around. I like the wrap around bar setup, as it allows the bartenders to serve both inside and outside guests simultaneously. The beer selection was pretty good. If you like IPAs, then you will like their beer selection more than I did, but I did try a cider and my husband ordered a stout...both were in cans. We generally prefer darker beer, such as ambers, porters and stouts; though I do also dabble in ciders and sours. The large canvas outside was the highlight for me. I loved the ode to Michelangelo 's The Creation of Adam, from a canine perspective. Just awesome. All in all, we had fun; so if you are looking for a nice little meet up spot for friends with or without dogs, this is a great option. Thanks for a good experience!

The place is chill and they have a big screen TV for sports. Drinks are kind of pricey though.

Favorite place to casually grab a drink and catch up with friends. Great staff and good vibes

Was excited to come here when visiting DC. We had our pup with us so I googled pet friendly restaurants in DC. This place popped up and looked cute . Disappointed that they don’t sell food even though it’s displayed on their website and instagram page. Ended up having one drink and left.
