SALEM & BRIGHTON: We do! Dogs are always welcome in our Biergarten. No dogs (including emotional support dogs) are allowed in the Tap Room per city health ordinances. Service dogs with proper identification are allowed inside the tap rooms.

DOG OWNERS: You must attend to your dog at all times, keep them leashed and by your side. If your dog is unruly - barking or being aggressive - we will need to ask you to leave. This is non-negotiable and to keep our biergartens safe for all.

SALEM & BRIGHTON: We do! Children are allowed before 8pm, but must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian.
