Before you visit Bent Paddle:
Whether you’re stopping by after exploring Lincoln Park, chatting with friends over a pint, or visiting for the first time, we’ve created the answers to some of your most popular questions to help you plan your trip!
Bring the whoooole family. We mean it! Dogs, kids, cats, grandma – bring ’em all. Our heated patio is perfect for pets in the winter months and our Yard has plenty of room to roam in the summertime. You can bring your pet in as you order a beer but we ask that you please keep your furry friends outside for the remainder of your time here (although if it were up to us we would let pets hang out at the bar.)
Come hungry or BYO food! While we don’t make our own food we do offer a select assortment of snacks for purchase. If you’re feeling a bit more famished we have food trucks, and food vendors rotating throughout the week (check out who is feeding the crowds) or you are welcome to bring in your own food from local restaurants (here are some in the neighborhood we recommend.)
We serve more than beer! While beer is our thing we know it’s not for everyone! We’re proud to offer something for everyone. We hand craft mocktails, THC infused beverages, seltzers, and also keep root beer, kombucha, and NA beers on hand. Feeling dehydrated? We offer a free water station to fill up your own water bottles and glasses – go crazy with it!
Park here for free! We’ve got a free parking lot right at Bent Paddle, plus plenty of street parking nearby.
Can I Bring My Dog to Bent Paddle??
Yes! You’re welcome to bring your dog, or really any pet you have. We have a wonderful heated patio which is perfect for winter beer drinking with your pooches, and in the summertime we have a beautiful yard for you and your pets to stretch out. We’re conscious of everyones thirst – that’s why we provide drinking bowls, and water for your furry friends. While you’re welcome to bring your pet inside while you order a beer, we ask that you do not linger indoors! If it were up to us this would be a dog bar where they can bring their people, but unfortunately its not up to us.
