We really enjoyed our stop at Thirsty Dog. The beertenders were absolutely amazing!! We were able to choose our beers and talk to them quite a bit. They were very helpful. We also got to explain what tagabrew is to the other customers at the bar and the beertender, whose first day was that day! She explained how the Akron beer trail worked and which breweries we shouldn't miss and which ones to just skip all together. We found out that they have another location down the street that just served sours and went down to check that place out as well. I got a tin tacker and we both got tags and were on our way. What a great time!

You can't go to Akron and not go to Thirsty Dog. It's the best beer in the city. Possibly in Ohio. It's one of several local breweries. They have their own separate taproom. It must be noted this is not on the site of the brewery. It's a few blocks from there. This is a stand alone building that operates at different times. It's possible to get beer at the brewery. This location has more reliable hours. Of course you can go to any gas station and get it. This is a nicer place for it though. It also has some not available in stores, so that's why you should come here. They also sell cool merchandise. I like the Blood Hound Orange IPA. Most beers are $3 for a 5 ounce, and $5 for a pint. The Old Leghumper is the funniest name and it's good too. It also has some food. There's mostly simple things like the chips and salsa. It's easy to get Thirsty Dog beer. Maybe try getting it fresh. They have some good food too.

Tons of good beers in a quiet part of the city. There's lots of parking out front too. I didn't eat at this location but the menu was similar to their second location in Cleveland. The only thing I didn't enjoy about my experience was that there was no music or sound from a tv playing and it just seemed like a dull environment. The kitchen had a small Bluetooth speaker in it and it was echoing throughout the bar and was not what I would think would be the music of choice for most patrons.

Fun place! Excellent beer. Leg Humper is definitely a classic. Food menu is extensive. Not a fan of the Sour but the rum-aged beer was delicious.

Thirsty dog tap house in Akron! Thirsty dog is a huge supporter and sponsor of the summit humane shelter. I am a volunteer at the shelter and they had the mobile adoption center at the brewery to try to raise awareness and money for the shelter from 12-2 so it's really cool that not only are they a restaurant brew house but they also do community outreach! It was 12 on Saturday. And wasn't to busy. It's animal friendly and had indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating looked dark inside. They had specials and I got the shandy for $4/pint. And it was delicious. I really enjoyed their shandy. What a cool and relaxing place to have delicious beer. Brewed right there in Akron too! The tap house also serves food! I got a veggie hummus wrap and it was really delicious. Served with a side of chips. They also sell merchandise. This would be a nice area to host a small party!

This was our last stop after a long day of hiking and beer drinking for the Summit Brew Path. We were pretty worn out so I'm not sure we gave Thirsty Dog the best try. I only did a 5oz taster of the Lemon Shandy $3, it was A-Ok. Oh, I did take a sip of two fruit IPAs (blood orange and pineapple) but they were too bitter for me. Staff was pleasant. Room smelled strongly of popcorn. They have an outdoor area. Lots of parking. Right down the road from their Sour Haus and production facility. Thirsty Dog is pretty well known in NEO so you are likely able to purchase their beer at the store or it will be on tap at local bars/restaurants.

Came here to try some beers, and it was a great experience! It's been years since I've had the 12 dogs Christmas ale, and it's just as good as I remembered! We got a flight of 4 beers, and our bartender was nice enough to throw in a couple of free tastes along our 4 official tastes. The leghumper was another one of our favorites. The icing on the cake at this place is definitely the free popcorn- what's not to like! Overall, cool local spot for a beer, and I'll definitely be back!

This was our second time here and unfortunately our last. Both times we ordered Vinny's margherita…read morepizza which was good though incredibly overpriced for the size, and the first visit we also ordered the fig pizza. It was saturated in honey and had a slight stinky cheese type undertone, but we didn't complain and ate a couple slices. I'm expecting so I didn't try a beer, but both times I had a lukewarm beverage from their small selection. My husband did get beer from the wall, a few each time, and noted they were mostly foam despite a careful pour. Again the price does not fit the quantity. The second visit we ordered the white pizza. NOWHERE on the menu does it state that it is heavily doused with lemon, including several lemon seeds. My husband is sensitive to lemon. The cheese was also clumped and undercooked. We brought this to the attention of the staff and a very rude man literally said "what do you want to do about it?" We didn't get past a bite each, the pizza was 22 dollars, and they gave us 10 off. For real? Lemon is not on the menu description. And seeds definitely don't belong on pizza. I'm glad my husband brought it up because if it had been me, I'd have most certainly made a bigger fuss. I don't usually leave poor reviews but felt compelled after this visit. We won't return and I'm sure they won't care one bit. So many better pizza and beer options in the area. I will also mention briefly that for the amount of staff they have standing around, you'd think the place would be cleaner. Eww.

We're returning customers, but the experience this time was unlike any previous visit…read more The staff were overly attentive, even though we said we'd been there before. I was not able to pour myself a beer without being engaged in a long conversation about the beers available, what styles I enjoy, etc., every time I went to the taps. Same for being asked every ~4-5 minutes at our table if we were doing okay--even before we'd gotten drinks or received our food. We've always enjoyed the food, and this visit was no exception. My daughter enjoyed her pizza and mozzarella sticks very much. My calzone was also terrific. On every previous visit, the restaurant was crowded and lively with something of a sports-bar vibe. We'd even had to wait for a table on occasion. This time, it was mostly empty and quiet, save for the sports on the TVs. We were told we could sit wherever we liked. I can't help but wonder if the change in atmosphere is related to the overbearing staff stalking the room. Perhaps they're under new management?
