OUR NEW HOP HIDEOUTS

On Wednesday we filled you all in on the upcoming beers that BrewDog fans are set to enjoy over the next few weeks and months – so in a chicken/egg kind of deal we should probably also update you on the status of some new BrewDog bars in which you can sample them! If you live (or drink) in any of these cities, then get ready to plan those beery nights out…

ShuffleDog Leeds

The group of people with the shortest time to wait are the lucky inhabitants of Leeds. Our latest bar is all set to go, opening to the public a week today. We’ll have a full preview of what you can expect from ShuffleDog Leeds on Thursday, so stay tuned – in the meantime, content yourselves with the prospect of elbow-loosening shuffleboard, finger-frantic arcade and pinball machines and a jaw-dropping draught beer selection. No shortage of diversions to occupy your time…

BrewDog Brighton

Our most patient group are probably those BrewDog fans located on the south coast around the eclectic city of Brighton. Well, following numerous paperwork issues, we are finally in the old Blind Tiger club on the corner of Marlborough Place and Kingswood Street, and renovating the building prior to opening BrewDog Brighton before the end of August. When we do, those unflappable beer fans will be rewarded with a thirty-tap bar featuring a fantastic range of freshly-made hot food!

DogHouse Glasgow

Whilst we’re on the subject of bars that have taken a while due to red tape, we have to turn to our site in the Merchant City area of Glasgow. More good news to throw into the pot though – planning permission has been granted for what we intent to do with the building, and our conversion team are starting work there on Monday! It’s going to be immense – a full restaurant, a BrewDog bar AND a BottleDog, all under one roof. And the door that leads you under that roof should open in October.

BrewDog Aberdeen II

Another centrepiece bar that will hopefully be opening its doors on a similar timeframe is our second bar for our hometown. Still at the designing stage, all being well in four months we’ll have the beers pouring for all the BrewDog fans in the Granite City. The two-level Athenaeum has plenty of space and a huge amount of potential – not to mention a prime location at the east end of Union Street. We know that you trust us to transform it into something truly special.

Dog Eat Dog

A couple of weeks away from having our team of sledgehammer and paint-wielding experts arrive is our site in Angel. Located at 29-31 Essex Road, the old Giraffe Bar and Grill is living on borrowed time as we prepare to finally turn it into our first Dog Eat Dog. A huge selection of craft beer and gourmet hot dogs await; we’re hugely excited to get this – the first in another of our new concepts – on the road to completion.

BrewDog Dalston

Staying in the big smoke, a mile and a half from Angel (as a London crow flies) is the site of another massively exciting BrewDog project. Approvals are all in, and within the next four weeks our increasingly busy renovations team will be appearing at 92-100 Stoke Newington Road in Dalston. This former clothing factory will soon be wearing a very different look – as an awesome flagship BrewDog bar for north-east London. Open before the end of the year, it will feature a full bar and BottleDog, as well as a specialist homebrew shop and a top-secret brewing addition!

BrewDog Soho

Finally for London, we have just tied up the details of another epic site. Right in the centre of the city, a ten-minute walk from Trafalgar Square, will be BrewDog Soho. We have fixed location on a fantastic two-level unit on Poland Street, equidistant to Oxford Street and Leicester Square. Look out for a thirty-tap bar serving a full food menu, with typical BrewDog flair in this most fascinating of London neighbourhoods.

The Newington Fix/BottleDog Edinburgh

We’re not just about to take one capital by storm – the beer drinking public of the Festival City are also set for much excitement over the months ahead. Both of our planned sites here are currently in front of the Licensing Department of Edinburgh Council. We’ll keep you updated on the progress of the artisan coffee and craft beer bar the Newington Fix, and BottleDog Edinburgh at 25a Dundas Street, once signed off by the relevant officialdom…

BrewDog York

Finally, another brand new bar location to reveal. We have just signed the deal on a fantastic site within the walls of the city of York. Still subject to licence and planning, this prospective BrewDog bar will be located at 130-134 Micklegate, a few minutes’ walk from the station. With 2,500 square feet of space, it’s a fantastic size and we are thrilled to finally get a bar site sorted for this true city of beer. Stay tuned for more!

And looking further ahead, we are finalising deals for three more locations – we have a lead on a great site in Stirling and – after a setback, have another (two-level) bar in mind for Southampton. Lastly, we have also just done a deal for a fantastic 4,000 square foot bar plum in the centre of Norwich. Keep your eyes on the blog for more updates in due course, and let us know in the comments where in the UK we should open next!
