Pups & Pints at The Dawson

Because nothing pairs better than a cold pint and a wagging tail, The Dawson is bringing back Pups & Pints—a dog-friendly happy hour series on our River West patio. Each week, enjoy rotating tastings from Chicago’s top breweries, brewery swag, and seasonal celebrations, all with plenty of space for pups to lounge.

A portion of proceeds from our daily dog menu will benefit the Anti-Cruelty Society, supporting their incredible work for animals in need.

Series Highlights:

  • Dog-friendly patio with room to relax

  • Rotating brewery partners with tastings & swag

  • Seasonal moments including National Lobster Day & Oktoberfest Biergarten Party

Bring your pup, sip with friends, and toast to a great cause!
