With two separate dog-friendly patios, Bagby Beer Company gives you options depending on the weather and your dog’s mood. One patio wraps around the side of the building while the other opens onto the street, so you can pick whichever feels right for the day. The food menu covers most bases—salads, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, tacos—and pairs naturally with their in-house beers. They’ve been brewing here since 2014, drawing inspiration from beer styles and beer culture from around the world, and their work has earned awards that actually mean something to people who care about beer.

The building itself has real character. It used to be Continental Motors and BMW Oceanside, a landmark on what locals called “Hill Street” for decades. The brewery now occupies what was the maintenance garage, which makes sense when you think about the heavy equipment and space they’d need. The main bar sits in the former showroom, all that open floor plan perfect for a taproom setup. Upstairs is their dining room, built into what used to be the offices where salespeople would close deals and hand over keys to new BMW owners.

That history is visible in the bones of the place—the concrete floors, the high ceilings, the bones of an industrial space repurposed into something community-oriented. On weekends you’ll find locals and visitors mixed together, dogs lounging under tables while their people try whatever’s on tap that week. The location puts you close enough to Oceanside’s downtown and pier that you could easily walk here from nearby areas or combine it with other stops along the coast. The two patios mean you’re rarely stuck waiting for outdoor seating, even when things get busy.
