Visiting With Your Dog

Bringing your furry companion to Ninkasi Brewing's tasting room is a fantastic way to enjoy Eugene's craft beer scene without leaving your pup behind. The outdoor patio is where you'll want to be with your dog, offering a relaxed atmosphere perfect for both you and your four-legged friend. The space has a casual vibe that welcomes dogs, though it's worth calling ahead at their current number to confirm their pet policy, as these can occasionally change with the seasons.

When planning your visit, aim for late afternoon or early evening, particularly on weekdays, when the tasting room tends to be less crowded. This timing makes for a more comfortable experience for your dog, as there's less foot traffic and noise. Street parking is available along Van Buren Street, and you'll find plenty of spots within a short walk of the entrance. Bring a collapsible water bowl and keep some fresh water handy for your pup—brewery patios can get warm, especially during Eugene's sunny summer days.

Pack some treats or a chew toy to keep your dog occupied while you sample their excellent selections. The brewers at Ninkasi take their craft seriously, so you'll have plenty to discuss and enjoy while your companion settles in beside you.

If you're planning a larger outing, consider combining your brewery visit with nearby attractions. Amazon Park is just a short drive away and offers plenty of space for your dog to stretch their legs and socialize with other pups before heading to the tasting room. Alternatively, the Wayne Morse Family Farm is another great nearby spot if you want to make a full day of exploring Eugene's outdoor spaces with your dog in tow.
