The Lucky Lab advertises itself as a dog friendly brewpub – an ambitious goal in a dog friendly city with plenty of brewpubs. Dogs are allowed at their outside seating area filled with picnic tables. But, since that could fit roughly 100 people plus maybe 40 dogs, that wasn’t a problem.
Since we’d started planning this trip to Portland, I’d been intending to take Cassie, our 12 pound Sheltie, to the Lucky Lab.
We arrived at 4 PM on Monday to join the 30 people and 6 dogs already enjoying the 80 degree sunny weather. Maxine and I got a sampler of 6 different beers including the Super Dog IPA (my favorite), Stumptown Porter, and Black Lab Stout (Maxine’s favorites). We also shared a glass of black raspberry mead that they had on tap. Through all of this, Cassie roamed over the limited area around our table, growled a few times at otherwise friendly dogs who tried to visit her, and snacked on the dog treats the Lucky Lab provides in a big bucket.
Good beer plus atmosphere (the dog-friendly accommodations) make this my favorite to date. Next time we’ll try the food too.
