Drekker Brewing Company
Note: The taproom is currently 21+ only and masks are required. Check back soon for when kids will be allowed again!
Sometimes the only way we get to do adult things is to bring the baby and kids along, and Drekker Brewing Company is one of our favorites for adulting! Not only are there pinball machines for older kids, but there is plenty of space for a stroller indoors and out. Overall, it’s a laid-back and local vibe.
Their sour beers have stolen our taste buds and as a result, our hearts. They are so unique and the names have us laughing every time! Our go-to is the Brain Squeeze Smoothie Sour. It’s just the right amount of smooth and tart.
Let’s not forget about the ooey gooey goodness that is their grilled cheese sandwiches! Drekker has a flavor line-up that pairs perfectly with their brews. The heat of the jalapeno popper sandwich and the cool of a crisp brew is a match made in heaven! They also have a rotation of local food trucks onsite.
There are really so many reasons to visit Drekker. Day or night, kids or no kids. It’s mom (and dad) approved!

Drumconrath Brewing
Kid-friendly until 8:00 p.m.!
Originally located in Mapleton, ND, this local brewery has been in Fargo since 2019. With regular music scheduled and open mic nights, this makes for a great post-dinner date night spot. True to their Irish roots, these brewers create tasty lagers and ales, and have ventured into new fusions like fruit-flavored sours and goses.
Overall, it’s a fun place to grab drinks in Downtown Fargo.
Top Pick: Ribbonman Red Ale

Fargo Brewing Company
Kid-friendly!
The OG of the breweries in Fargo and Moorhead, Fargo Brewing Company has expanded their taproom to be even bigger and better! Supervised minors are allowed in the taproom and leashed, well-behaved dogs are allowed on the patio when it is available. However, there may be events where kids and pups should stay home.
Top pick: If you’re looking for a refreshing citrus beer, their radler, Kenny’s Lemonade, is top notch. If you’re newer to craft beer, Stone’s Throw is a good one to try.
Hours: Monday – Saturday 12:00 – 9:00 p.m. | Sunday 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Address: 610 University Dr N (Fargo)
Junkyard Brewing
Kid-friendly!
Junkyard has been a staple of the FM brewery scene since 2013. Their environment is family-friendly and inviting.
When the taproom is open, minors are allowed through dinner time, as long as they’re accompanied by a parent. And Junkyard is a great place to bring the family. Because they frequently support live entertainment, it’s a great place for everyone to hear local musicians.
In addition, their next-door neighbor, Sol Avenue Kitchen, is a convenient choice for food to accompany the beers.
We recommend the Super Slurp and the Double Dry Hopped Galactic Falconer. The Super Slurp is a refreshing sour accompanied by lactose and vanilla that smooths the bitterness commonly associated with sours. The Galactic Falconer is a New England IPA. The dryness makes it a worthy choice for those who shy away from hoppiness.
Top Pick: Super Slurp Sour or the Double Hopped Galactic Falconer IPA
Hours: Monday – Thursday 4:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. | Friday & Saturday 12:00 – 11:00 p.m. | Sunday 12:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Address: 1416 1st Ave N (Moorhead)
Pixeled Brewing
Kids allowed all day Sundays!
Top Pick: For those that like lighter beers, order the Golden Gun. However, if an IPA is more your style, their Galactic Implication is good, too!
Hours: Monday – Thursday 5:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. | Friday 5:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. | Saturday 3:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. | Sunday 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
