Midwest Coast Brewing

A brewery on Walnut Street out past Damen, closer to the United Center than to the West Loop restaurants — a part of the city with very little else in this directory.

The dog policy comes from the brewery itself rather than from a guide: its welcome tells visitors to "Bring some friends (dog-friendly)."

The site does not publish opening hours, which is unusual for a taproom and worth a check before you set out. It also does not say whether dogs are restricted to any particular part of the building.

On the neighborhood. Walnut and Leavitt is in the Near West Side, west of the West Loop restaurant strip. It is tagged West Loop here because that is the nearest name people use and search for, but do not expect Randolph Street — this is an industrial block by the United Center.
