Just a stone's throw from the scenic Suseong Lake, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax after a long day, offering an inviting mix of craft beers and hearty pub fare.
History & Ownership
Dog Brothers came about when a group of friends, united by their love for craft beer, decided to bring a more diverse beer culture to Daegu. They pooled their experiences from travels abroad—particularly in the U.S. and Europe—and set up a pub that blends international beer influences with local Korean flavors. Their passion for craft beer shines through in every detail, from the thoughtfully selected brews to the warm, communal vibe they’ve cultivated.
Atmosphere & Ambiance
Dog Brothers strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and lively. The interior mixes rustic wooden tables with modern accents, creating a space that feels both cozy and trendy. The outdoor terrace is a big hit, especially in warmer weather, offering a great view of the lake. Whether you’re meeting up with a few friends or planning a bigger gathering, the spacious setup makes it an ideal spot. And if you’re up for some friendly competition, why not take on a round of darts while you’re there?
