Turn around and head to an auto parts store that is conveniently located next to a brewery. Winter Olympics, Bee Sting Pizza, Hop Love IPA....check, check, check. I would consider this #winning. Great counter service, amazing selection of beers on tap, and the pizzas here are some of the best around. The Bee Sting Pizza complete with goat cheese, jalapenos and a hot honey drizzle hit the spot on a rainy Baltimore day.

You can choose to get a beer card and pour your own beers, or order at the bar. They have food options of pizza, tacos, chicken wings, sandwiches, and more. We tried a pizza which was tasty with a nice fluffy crust and good sauce and cheese. The beers are really good with multiple styles to choose from. Service is also great. We were able to listen to a good band while here and there seem to be a lot of different events they host. Overall, it's a great brewery with a chill vibe and I'll definitely be back!

So relaxing. During the winter, we were there for trivia several times. That was always fun! Now the food and beverage... Their pizza is awesome. Doesn't matter what kind you get, it's delicious. The beer is also wonderful. There is a wide range to choose from, and my boys have liked them all. I've always had good service, and the place is always clean. In addition, it's located right off the Rail Trail in New Freedom. Great place to stop after a walk or a bike ride!

They have something for every palate, and I appreciate that they rotate styles so often. My personal favorites are the Polar Vortex IPA (hoppy, bitter, and seriously bold) and the Coal Car Snickerdoodle Coffee Stout--which is a phenomenal, dark dessert beer that's perfect for the colder months. The taproom is huge and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's truly family and dog-friendly, which makes it an easy choice for a Saturday afternoon. Pro tip: If you're coming from northern MD, hop on the NCR Trail near the brewery. It's a great spot to hit after a bike ride or a long walk. The team here is friendly, the glassware is always clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

The hard cider was good and flavorful, and I was shocked when it came in two mugs. It was genius! Our service was great, and our waitress regularly checked in with us. Two of us ordered our pizzas differently, and they came out correctly with no issues. It looks like this pub has an outdoor area, but it was raining, and we will have to come back in the future to utilize the outside cornhole and area. My Baja Chihuahua pizza was so good and filling, and the prices for beer/cider and food were incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend Pub Dog, and I will be back.

We've been a few times this year and the pizzas are excellent. Dang good. Thin crust with fresh toppings.

Got drinks - my husband was delighted with the beer options and loved the single hop All Citra the best, and he is a beer snob (in the best way!). The Sauvignon blanc was ok, but I realize that is not their focus. We had calamari to share - good flavor, but more pillowy than crisp. The platters are the way to go - $20 for a ridiculous amount of terrific food! The pulled pork was smoky, tender and homemade sauces were perfect. Sides of coleslaw, beans and a cornbread muffin were all tasty and a nice sized serving. I had enough left for another whole meal! The brisket was awesome too - got a chunk from my husband. Our server was Allie - she did a great job - there when we needed her, knowledgeable and nice as could be! The food is served quickly, which was nice if you are traveling. Overall, a fun experience in a beautiful setting and a very reasonable price.

Very smooth and has a fruity finish (I may have drank 3 on this particular visit but uwill not confirm or deny). Good selection of German beers to choose from. The food selection is good, but they seemed to be out of several things on their menu including their staple wurst. Staff were friendly and assisted with recommendations on beer and food. Can't really say what the vibe is here cuz we ate at an odd hour and we were the only ones eating, but there were some people seated at the bar. I would come back for the beer.

But there's always something just a bit off on every visit. The servers aren't aware of specials advertised on social media. The food presentation is always slightly off. There have never been more than 3 beers on tap out of several they list. I would not recommend the lobster roll special - cold flavorless lobster bits sprinkled with celery spread over Texas toast bread which was soggy from the moisture. Had to eat with knife and fork. The German coleslaw was tasty and vinegary but served on a plate (not bowl) and juice was spreading to edge of plate and didn't look appetizing the way it was presented but it was very good. The boardwalk-style fries are delicious and they do have malt vinegar for them if you ask. Good beer though - the Pilsner is my favorite. They recently opened up some outdoor seating with picnic tables that face the parking lot.

We were in the back heated patio. My group was at least 40 people and they handled it well. Everyone had hot food, it came fast if you arrived late to order. Huge beer selection. Keep an eye on the IPAs, they go fast and you will be sad to miss them. I would definitely return!

Fenced in outdoor space, corn hole, food, drinks, live music, and recommended by a friend. And technically it had all of those things! And yet somehow, those things were generally only okay. First, music was inside and it was incredibly loud. So we go outside which was just.... A mess. Like, we got mustard on our clothes from an unclean table; food and napkin scraps all stuck in the grass everywhere you looked. Then, the service outside is through a window, which in itself is no problem. The issue is that it was single server on a Friday night and the line took a really long time. The food and drinks we did get, we enjoyed. Based on the other factors, I am unsure that I would make it a point to stop here when back in the area.

They had food from a local BBQ spot while we were there; we weren't hungry at the time, but it smelled great! They also have chips and other snacks available. It looks like they have a good roster of events and I'd definitely return!
