Bartenders are a bit slow and could be nicer but they're swamped, place is a lot of fun. Good priced drinks for dc, lots of sports. Recommend

Simple, unpretentious hangout. Popular IPA options on tap, full-service bar, and a very large list of bottled and canned options. Large, as in two columns that stretch from ceiling to counter. If you like beer Wet Dog certainly has something you like.A decent amount of seating inside and a nice private patio out back with bar service at both. Service was fast and friendly. Bring your dog and have a beer!

Love wet dog! Great place to hang out for a great beer at a reasonable price. Service is friendly and accommodating. Obviously being dog friendly is a plus! You can sit outside with a big group or inside at the bar.

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!

Came here for an event my new apartment building was having and absolutely loved it. The event was a get together with a few drinks, so nothing special in terms of set up, but it was most definitely a great location to have it at. The weather was warm-ish so we could easily mingle inside and outside. To drink, I HAD to go with one of their beers, so many lit options. First, I had the "3 stars never say never lager" which was ABSOLUTELY tasty. For my second drink I had the "troegs troegenator double bock" - darker, AWESOME as well! I always go for the highest alcohol content in beers and rarely ever disappointed. These two are definitely going on my go-to list. The bar wasn't very crowded so great atmosphere for a weekday.I was feeling some FOMO when people mentioned they'd been here multiple times before. Guess I've been missing out. But I'll be back for sure!! Can't wait

I parked my Harley in a private lot and on the way back to my destination it was hot so I decided this would be a great spot to grab a drink and figure out the next move . The staff was great and the outside patio area was perfect. They have a good selection for most anybody's taste and I bet if this was not Rona season this place would normally be packed. Stop in and grab a drink or a burger you'll be happy .

Wet Dog Tavern is a pet friendly bar that serves drinks (e.g., beer, wine, cocktails, hard liquor, and non alcoholic beverages) and burgers. It has both indoor and outdoor seating options. For outdoor seating, you could sit in the patio in the front, bar in the back, or the beer garden. In the beer garden, you could relax and converse with your party over games of corn hole or life size connect four.During the week, they offer happy hour from 4pm to 7pm that provides discount off beer on draught, $5 rail liquors, $6 house red or white wine, and $8 hard lemonades.After a day of moving, my family and I walked over to Wet Dog Tavern to catch the last 5-minutes of happy hour. Upon entering the bar, expect to take out your IDs to verify that you are of legal drinking age. We ordered two glasses of house white wine (which was Sauvignon Blanc) and an Evolution Day Crush Session Sour (which was light, smooth, and tart but not too sour).

It's the best pub in DC. Hands down.The pub has a massive regular crowd that is open and inviting. It is also totally pet-friendly. The service is fantastic, and there is a great happy hour. The selection of beer, wine, and cocktails is also great. The Dog is bring-your-own-food, but there is usually a fantastic Tex-Mex food truck on the rear patio and many places nearby to get food.If you are in the area or going to see a show at 9:30 or Lincoln or Howard, the Dog is a great place to grab a drink and hang out10/10

Worst customer service. bad vibe, bad menu selection. overpriced. spend money somewhere else!First of all they don't pick up phone. tje bartender was rude and bossy. Also, I left a bag and came back to get it. I tried to speak to the bartender (by saying "HI") but he was busy so I waited. I had the weirdest and rudest interaction ever:When I finally got his attention I said "Sorry sir, I left my bag here.." Before I finish my sentence demanded I say greetings "first you have to say hi and then how are you" before I ask him a question which I thought was so bossy but I proceeded to say "sorry". He told me to start over again and speak to him the way he told me to. I told him that was all I have to say because I believe I was not the one being rude and I am a middle age woman, not a child. I told him I did say hi and he said he didn't hear it but proceeded to stare at me in a very rude way. He gave me my bag and I said thank you and never got a response.hear me out. It is normal having a bad day at work but please be professional. why dump it on *the only Asian person in the room*. Funny he was so friendly with other guests who wasn't asking how his day was. Also it's normal wanting to be respected but respect is earned and it goes both ways.

Great neighborhood bar with easygoing staff. It has a strong community vibe where customers know one another and bring their dogs to play. Suitable for special events like holiday parties, birthday gatherings, key sporting event watches, etc. Indoor and outdoor spaces are available, good for a sunny day or rainy day if you at least want to get out of the house.
