The date

3 Dogs is the family-built craft brewery that gives uptown White Rock a reason to go out. It runs on small-batch brews, snacks and board games stacked by the bar, with live music keeping the room loud in the good way and trivia every Thursday. The patio welcomes dogs, obviously. Ranked the town's number-one pub, it's the talk-for-three-hours kind of date, so take as long as you need.

How to do it

Start with a tasting flight so you can argue over favourites instead of committing blind, then settle in with the board games stacked near the bar, that's the move that turns a quick pint into a real evening here. Check their schedule first and aim for a live-music night or Thursday music trivia, because the room's energy is the whole draw and it's flat on a dead Tuesday. Grab the patio if the weather's decent (dogs welcome, so it's a people-and-pups-watching spot), otherwise the tasting room is cozy enough. Don't miss pairing the brews with their baked treats and snacks, it's not a full kitchen, so come having eaten or plan to graze. Parking has shifted around with the brewery's moves, so give yourself a few extra minutes and use uptown side-street parking, which is plentiful compared to the beach.
