this place sounds like a nightmare to work at. no drinking, anti dog policies, no thanks.

Imagine how normal work places feel like to people who don't drink, are introverts and don't like to be greeted by dogs all the time.
How do you mean normal? Outside of startup land, a pet policy and free booze at work is kind of unusual.
I mean normal as in normal silicon valley startup.
I wouldn't call an office with drinks and dogs normal, not in most parts of the country.
I can't tell if you're trolling / being sarcastic / something. If you're being serious, then I'm suddenly a lot more convinced that having no-drinks-at-the-office policy is a good recruiting technique (in the sense of making sure you recruit the right people).
It would sound pretty good to a recovering alcoholic with pet allergies.
