We visited this taproom while we were spending a week in Spokane. Friends had recommended it and…read moresaid the place was dog-friendly. As it turned out, we came back three times after that first visit! We'd be there tonight, except we had to head home. The beer is amazing. Good variety and just really well made (in my humble opinion). Plus, they have homemade dog treats and great people food (I've heard - didn't go at dinner time yet). And games! We were playing cribbage, and several people came up and asked if we wanted to join the brewery's cribbage tournament! How fun. The owner, the beertenders, and the customers were all friendly and welcoming. The space itself is cute, with great music and plenty of seating at picnic tables and high tops. Several TVs with sports playing, but without sound.

Absolute pasture-approved excellence. First off, the name says 'Badass,' and for once it's not false advertising. Most places slap edgy words on the sign and then serve beer that tastes like somebody filtered rainwater through a flip-flop. Not here. The beer actually has personality. Bold flavors, small-batch attitude, and enough variety that even a 2,000-pound bovine with anger issues can find a favorite. The atmosphere? Perfect. Cozy, chill, unapologetically local, and zero pretentious craft beer nonsense. Nobody in there is trying to explain 'notes of elderberry with a whisper of regret.' They just hand you a great beer and let you enjoy life like civilized savages. Also, respect to the fact this place started as an actual backyard brewing operation. That's the kind of origin story I can get behind. No corporate boardroom. No focus-grouped IPA names. Just straight-up badass energy and good beer. Wanderlog And let me say this as "no-bull": if your brewery is dog friendly, has live music, rotating taps, and encourages people to relax instead of acting like beer sommeliers defending a PhD thesis... you're doing it right. Final verdict: 5 out of 5 horns. Would absolutely charge through a fence to drink here again." -Mad Cow

Even if the beer was bad, you might still come here just for the vibe. Added bonus is that the beer IS good. We had a very solid IPA & coffee stout There was an odd experience of someone pulling into the parking lot, coming inside to use the restroom, then proceeding to cordially ask each table if they could spare $10 for gas money. Each table refused, she thanked everyone and left. Possibly a testimony to how welcoming the place appears.

Moo. This cow enjoys grazing at Bardic Brewing. It's a family-friendly brewpub in Spokane Valley…read morewith thoughtful craft drinks, good food, and a calm pasture where conversations don't have to compete with loud music or glowing TV screens. When this cow wanders in, there might be stouts being slowly savored near the fireplace, humans discussing ancient literature, a family laughing over a half-finished pizza, or a nearby table deep into a heated game of Magic the Gathering with ESBs and cider in hoof. It's cozy, communal, and usually feels just right. One thing this cow respects -- the beer here is strong, and it's not brewed for the weak. There's nothing on tap that isn't unique or intentional. That said, this also means Bardic isn't for everyone. The average beer drinker looking for a simple, easy-drinking West Coast IPA that isn't pushing 9% ABV may leave unsatisfied, and that likely eliminates a large portion of beer drinkers in the area. For adventurous palates, though, this place is a treat. Lately, this cow has noticed the welcome hasn't been quite as warm as it used to be. The beer and food remain excellent, but the last few visits felt a bit less friendly. A smile or a greeting would go a long way in restoring the inviting feel this pasture is known for. Nothing has soured, and this cow will return. I just hope the hospitality rises to match the boldness of the beer and the heart of the space -- because when it does, Bardic Brewing is a fantastic place to graze. Moo.

Despite the wording this isn't an IPA but a historical oriented beer classified as a Gruit, an ancient herbed ale. Herbal mixtures were once used to bitter and flavor beer. This was before hops were used almost exclusively. A few unhopped beers survived after hops were used so much like certain beers from Finland but Gruit beers have not so it was a very refreshing and new take getting a beer from Hop Chaos! A lot of the herbs used in this mixture for this beer and the ancient mixtures differed as this beer was going for a Chai Tea. So you got the herbs and spices normally associated with Chai. Cinnamon, clove and peppery flavors were noticeable with this beer that Steve and I noticed and it should go without saying we enjoyed this beer immensely!

Met a couple of friends here after work. Like many places, they appear to have staffing shortages.

Our server was not very friendly, but was trying to handle everything. Music was not to our taste and rather loud which didn't really make it easy to relax after work.
