The Water Dog is a riverside taphouse in downtown Lynchburg just along the alongside the James River. With Riverfront Park out our front doors and 36 craft beers on tap, great tunes spinning and our 2000 square foot patio, you can find us shucking the region's best oysters and dishing out high fives.
