Strip mall location with parking out front. More of a brewpub type with a full food menu with pizza and burgers. Long bar with high chairs with other seating at high tables. Curve above displays logos. Taupe painted walls and a concrete floor. Sixteen taps with a good mix of styles. Cooler has cans to go. Also offers cocktails and bourbon. Accommodating and helpful staff. Welcoming place to stop in for food and drink.

A nice little brewery in a strip mall with a variety of some high quality beer and decent bar food. Plenty of room at the bar, as well as dining tables and high-tops.
I noticed they have activities a some nights, bingo, trivia and open mic nights.
Growlers filled, crowlers available, and cans to-go.
Recommended.

This is a nice place, spacious and roomy. There were about a dozen beers on tap, and pretty tasty. The food was of good quality as well. Service was friendly and overall my visit here was a pleasant experience.

Cool spot with wooden decor, plenty of bar space, and tables spread out in cozy corners. The beer selection was good 16 taps with some seltzers, cider, and beer on nitro. They serve food, looked like burgers and pizza, but I didn't eat. The service was attentive and friendly. There's a small stage and occasional live music. Also a nascent barrel-aging program, from the looks of it. The beers I had were excellent. I'm looking forward to getting back there again.

Although Big Dog is located in a strip mall it's actually fairly roomy inside and nicely designed. It's also clean which is something I can't say about a lot of places. The bar is wide with a good amount of seats, and there are plenty of tables. It's a brewpub with a good menu, and they've got 16 beers on tap. Those beers are well balanced style-wise including lighter golden beers all the way through stronger and darker beers, and I say 'beers' because they do both ales and lagers. The food seems slightly high in price for me but that's up to you to decide what works for you. All in all I'd recommend a visit. Closed on Mondays; quizzo on Tuesdays!
