Dry Ground Brewing Company has been my home pub since I was ejected from the Seattle area. While in exile here in Paducah, I have cried in my excellently brewed local beer more times than I can count. So, what do I love about the place? Lets start with the beer. I usually order Preacher Pilsner - a very capable and sturdy pilsner. Occasionally I kick it up a notch and take one of their fine IPAs. If you're lucky, you'll be there when they are doing a one-off IPA that has extended fruit notes. Wow. The servers there are awesome. Especially Marley. But really, they're all very special people. Why? Imagine a new-comer from Seattle bopping into their small town Kentucky pub. I show up with my NW accent and attitude, thinking everyone is going to say something like "Hey wow, you're from Seattle! Aren't you special?" Instead, it was more "Welcome to our pub and we're so sorry you had to live in Seattle ... for 27 years". After a few visits, they knew my beer of choice and my habit of settling at the bar with my journal and fountain pen, quietly writing. I managed to make a few friends in the few months I've been going. Sadly, my company is pulling on my dog collar and hauling me all the way back to Seattle. So much for work - from - home [anywhere].

Good beer and great service. I love the old building. The only thing that's missing is food.

Amazing spot with lots of space and unique items around. The menu is rotating and they also have limited release batches - make sure to try those. If you're indecisive like me, flight of 6 (for just $12, which is a steal) will satisfy your wondering taste buds. To top it off, the service is amazing. Must visit place.

Atmosphere is good. Dog friendly. Dobbelboch is very good. Mellow Mushroom pizza on the other side of the building. Beer and pizza worthy of hanging out. Also, it's beside the train tracks so you get to see cool trains.

Great beer selection! Fun place to play games. Art & live events! ✨️

One of my favorite places to grab a beer locally. I like to go order pizza from pizza by the pound and bring it here to drink with.

One of the best breweries I have ever been to. I have been driving to Paducah from Kansas almost every month since 2016 for military duty. Dry Ground is always what I look forward to most. The staff is always very nice and willing to explain all the new beer selections to you. The ambiance is so comfortable, whether you choose to sit at one of the tables in doors or around the fire pit outdoors. Truly a Paducah gem.

The place is super cute and fun! Service is great. Love meeting friends here. However, if you don't like IPA's, then the house beers probably aren't for you. There's some darker than others. I'm not a big beer drinker, and I can only tolerate the pineapple cider.

Great place with fantastic beer. Mellow Mushroom next door was a great addition. Very nice outdoor sitting.
great service, cute staff (if you're tall & tatted & work here, hit the line). Very helpful in recommending beers to add to the flight, ended up with 5 house brews & 1guest brew. The pours were very generous, I almost could not finish this alone. Plenty of outdoor space. They don't serve food, but I am sure they would let you roll up with a pizza from their next-door neighbors. I highly recommend Dry Ground if you're stopping through Paducah or needing a night out.

This is my second time here and the second time I had a less than stellar experience. I tried a flight of 6 different beers. Nothing great, nothing terrible. The host was as aloof and unwelcoming as any place I have ever been. He wasn't rude, just couldn't care less I was there, and I was literally his ONLY CUSTOMER. I am an avid brewery visitor/traveler and would suggest if you are in this area, to Google other breweries/brewpubs in the area or state and try them instead. It's a shame because it's a really cool setup here.

Very fun and enjoyable place! Beer was fantastic and plentiful. Many options to what you’d like. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Indoor and outdoor seating! Right next to Mellow Mushroom so you can get food too! All in all a great place and perfect to stop at if passing through Paducah!

Orange Cream Ale is beer of the night. Also tried ‘37 Flood. Fantastic brews! Recommend this pub. No food so plan accordingly.

Really cool place! They have a very nice selection of craft brews...not a whole bunch for non-beer drinkers and no food. (Hence only 4 stars) They are very dog friendly!!!
