the host was bringing us menus before we made it up the stairs! love that we didn’t have to ask if they were dog friendly. nice patio with astroturf and umbrellas. waitress brought dog bowl right away. great spot

We had just picked up a new puppy in the area and needed a dog friendly place to eat before we made 3 hour trip home. I called ahead to make sure their patio was heated, I was told it was. When we arrived all of the heaters were out of propane. We went across the street to Sine Irish pub instead. They were much accommodating to us and our new pup! I’d recommend Sine instead!

Visited while traveling with our 1 year-old and dog (for outside seating). Food and cocktails were tasty, and the service was some of the best we’ve ever had. Everyone was so friendly and kind to all of us, including our pup. Highly recommend!
- ArnieJun 27, 2022Outstanding for Puppy and Humans too
we went here after doing FastCat with a tired puppy and they treated all of us great. Fresh water for the pup and outstanding food for the humans
- ValerieApr 26, 2022Large Outdoor Patio
The food was good, the service was too. However, if your dog tends to be scared by loud noises, I would not recommend, as the patio is next to a busy highway. Fortunately, our dog was not at all bothered.
- AmyAug 28, 2021Great outdoor patio for dogs and great food
Brought our dog in a hot day and we’re greeted with a doggy ice water bowl. Staff is great to dogs and the food is great too!
- MartinJul 31, 2021Awesome pub.
We stopped in Richmond on a road trip. We found the Railway Tap House downtown and decided to give it a try. We are soooo glad we did. They have outside seating for our cane Corso. the staff loved her and brought her water and ice. The food was awesome and the service was great. Highly recommend.
- ChristinaApr 22, 2021Amazing food, 100% dog friendly!
Wow!!! The Taphouse has posted signs sharing how much they love dogs and how welcome they are on their large outdoor patio. The food is fantastic and the service wonderful. Really cool neighborhood too. Don’t pass this one by!
- KatieJun 1, 2019Great Restaurant!
Nice restaurant, friendly staff! They brought our boys water and gave them love!
- JeffDec 29, 2018Amazing Place! Must Visit When In Richmond
After a long car ride south Enzo and I wanted someplace dog friendly where we could take a relaxing dinner break. The staff couldn’t have been better! Amazing dog people as they all came out to visit with Enzo, bring him water and they even stayed with him while I cleaned up from the drive. By the way, the food was amazing! Stop by for a bite to eat, you will be glad you did!
- JaclynJun 25, 2018Great!
We were in the area for the day and stopped for lunch, the service was fantastic. The waitress brought out water for everyone, including our dog. She refilled the dog's water without being asked. The food was good too.
- NicoleMore than a year agoServers love them
I have never had a bad experience! They bring water out right away. The servers love when dogs come since most of them own dogs themselves. The patio is great and other customers love to meet and see your dog too!
- JohnMore than a year agoexcellent beer, loved the dog
I was able to enjoy a delicious beer on the patio with the dog.
- KellyMore than a year agovery pet friendly
Loved how nice everyone was to our dog. They brought her water right away. Food and service was awesome
- AlishaMore than a year agoAmazing
This was a wonderful place to take your dogs. The waitress brought water for our pups out with our beers. Several staff members came out to see our pups. The outdoor seating was large with several other dogs there. They also had live music. The food and beer were great. The only thing to consider is the patio gets no breeze and can be rather hot! After dinner, we took a walk along the canal and the dogs loved it! So pleased!
- ChrisMore than a year agoNice spot
We brought our boys and they were immediately greeted by several of the staff. Great beer and good food too.
- SteveMore than a year agoMr.
walked by this last weekend after eating at Sine Irish Pub (also dog friendly) decided to check it out today and very happy we did. Great patio, beer selection and menu. members of the staff interacted with our girl Izzy (which made her day) and the service was excellent. Menu offers a nice variety and we found the food reasonably priced and quite good. Right by the canal which makes for a great after dinner walk. This one's a winner.
