My dogs are my best buddies, so I love having their companionship even outside of the home. Even though they’re underage for drinking, finding a restaurant or brewery with pro-pet policies is always a huge bonus. Fortunately, with so many amazing places to grab a beer in Illinois (or just dine in general), there are typically some great options to choose from. But this dog-friendly brewery in Darien, Illinois stands out for its love of animals, exceptional beers, board games, and welcoming atmosphere.

Miskatonic Brewing Company, 1000 N. Frontage Road, is a local brewery tucked away in a nearly-hidden industrial space, complete with a spacious, string-lit outdoor patio.

The craft microbrewery creates its own beers in house, and the magic can often be seen from a seat at the bar. While you sip, grab something off the game shelf for some friendly competition.

A major plus of this taproom is that it's dog friendly! Not only dogs, but "cat, bat, and rat"-friendly. Pets must stay leashed next to you, with water bowls and treats on the house.

The brewery makes a number of flagship beers, like the West Coast Wizard, that are always available on tap, but also experiments with other rotating brews, like The Gardner, a wheat ale with lemon peel, vanilla, and lavender.
