Major kudos for this foster program led by P.A.W.S. (Public Animal Welfare Services) @pawsfloydco in Rome, GA. Make a dog’s day by fostering for a day, and I guarantee that pup will make your day. Anyone who fosters a dog with P.A.W.S. ‘Doggy Day Out’ and takes a couple minutes to swing them by River Dog Outpost will get a beer on me (21 & older obviously). If we’re not open, message me, and I’ll personally let you and the pup in for a private tour of the beer garden. Get these pups out of the shelter and show them off around town! Lots of #pawspermitted shops and bars in town plus all the trails by the rivers, Berry campus trails, and the new dog park! #paws #doggydayout #emptytheshelters #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsrule #romega #romegeorgia #downtownromega

A proper TBT, a blast from the past, 5 years ago today. River Dog himself in his comfort zone chillin’ on a paddle board at the three rivers’ confluence right here in downtown Rome, GA. This was 3 months before we opened the paddle board shop at 5 Broad Street. Keep on keepin’ on Riv~man! #riverdog #morethanalifestyle #riverdogpaddleco #riverdogoutpostandpaddleco #beerboardsgoodvibes #paddlepaddlepaddle #romanholiday #etowahriver #oostanaulariver #coosariver #romega #downtownromega #romegeorgia #supdog #selfieifhehadopposablethumbs #theogriverdog
River & Tiki, digging the downtown loft life. Blu & Harley agree, this downsize plan has been the greatest strategic move for all six of us.

Happy Friday River Dog peeps! We’ve cleared out the cabana bar to make room for more River Dog merchandise coming soon. But we need your help ~ come and get the previous season merch out of the way for us ~ $5 for just about everything in the shop. And while we’re at it, the SweetWater River Dog draft has been so popular this week, we’re flying thru the kegs. Come on by and have a pint with us in the shade by the river ~ $4 a pint all day until 7pm. It’s the most delicious Summertime beer your mouth needs! 🍻🤓🤙🏻 #riverdogoutpostandpaddleco #beergarden #paddleboardshop #morethanalifestyle #downbytheriver #yourfriendsdrinkhere #fridayhappyhour #romegeorgia #downtownromega #cabanabar #containerbar #supshop #riverdog

I ask myself every day why I have to pick up after adults. You may remember a post I made last summer regarding cigarette butts trashing up the beer garden. Well, this collection of butts is from the entrance to the parking lot, have yet to start cleaning up the beer garden today. Do people really think this is an ok thing to do with their trash? It’s worse than trash, this shit isn’t acceptable any more. Be responsible, if nothing else, think about the dogs who are walked along the trails eating your toxic cigarette butts off the ground. They also end up in the rivers, don’t get me started there. Endanger your own health, but stop forcing your poison on the rest of us by throwing it on the ground. I’ll call you out next time I see you trashing the neighborhood. #growup #litteringislittering #keepitup #pieceoftrash #litterbug #cleanupyourshit #dountoothers #keepromefloydbeautiful #downtownromega #romega #romegeorgia
It’s time for a @sweetwaterbrew 420 #redeye.

River Dog is honored to be on the @sweetwaterbrew Tap Room menu board with a specially brewed beer named after our little bar on the river here in #romegeorgia. You know we had to gather a crew and sample The River Dog for ourselves yesterday. Gotta tell ya, couldn’t have done it any better ourselves 🤓 ~ stay tuned for a batch coming our way this weekend that we’ll tap and share with our River Dog peeps! #riverdogoutpostandpaddleco #morethanalifestyle #beerboardsgoodvibes #thanks #sweetwaterbrewery #summershandy #sweetwaterblue #specialbatch #craftbeer #downbytheriver #yourfriendsdrinkhere #downtownromega #paddlepaddlepaddle #riverdogoutpost

Blu took time out today to scope out Heritage Park in downtown Rome ~ the location of tomorrow’s second annual Spirit of the Sun Festival’s paddle board and kayak races. Looking forward seeing a lot of paddlers coming into town for the Saturday event and excited to hit the water for the 6 mile SUP race, paddling all three of Rome’s rivers. Join us at The Outpost from 11am-2pm for half price beer and wine and watch the race from the bar patio! Open container is in effect in downtown Rome beginning @ 11am, so you can also come grab a beer and walk across the foot bridge from River Dog and watch the races from above the rivers confluence. See y’all tomorrow ~ races start @ 11am, free yoga throughout the morning and afternoon, free concert beside the Outpost begins @ 6pm, & don’t forget the @betweentheriversmarket Farmer’s Market beside The Outpost from 8am-11:30am! #riverdog #spiritofthesun #standuppaddlerace #suprace #sup #paddlepaddlepaddle #yoloboard #riverdogoutpostandpaddleco #sweetwaterbrewery #riversup #romega #romegeorgia #downtownromega #coosariver #etowahriver #oostanaulariver #grandwagoneer #riverwagon #jeep #grandwagoneer #jeepgrandwagoneer
