The seasonal meatball here is TO DIE FOR. Absolute must try. Best meatball of my life maybe ever. If there was a meatball contest, the salty dog would win every single time. Personally, I come here ONLY for the meatball. The seasonal meatball is only on the secret menu so you have to ask but it’s worth it every time.

$10 buck in, place is rammed with people, can't get moving, arrogant bar staff. Toilets being used for illicit substances. Drink selection is okay if you can get attention for a drink.

Horrible Service. Staff is always angry and upset they don’t wanna be here. They threw away my pitcher with beer in it.

As symbolic as it gets as a Gator☺️. Our watering hole during difficult nights and tough assignments. You will never be forgotten 💞

Not very good place for tourists, I've been there and when I asked the guy which beer is good he said, being rude, that he don't drink beer and he doesn't know 🤔

Beer was cheap. I didn't eat their food, I wasn't brave enough. Service was ok. I did meet some cool people in there. Overall good experience.

A classic dive with the most simple and inexpensive delicious grilled cheeses around

You don't have to make someone feel like a leper because they're not college aged. Not everyone is out to harm someone because they are an older male. I was there just to enjoy the atmosphere and a drink but did not feel welcome with weird looks. Was kind of ripped off with the shot sizes and the price for a pint of beer. The second round of shot was larger because they could see my original frustration LOL so I thank him for that. Not too warm though.

Came in with our Ontario Canadian IDs and the bouncer wouldn’t let us in because “his bosses told him to not let Canadians in”. weird rule for a tourist city. Racist! If your not American don’t bother with this place. They hate Canada and apparently any non American tourists looking for a good time.

The main male bartender has an attitude problem. Been living next door to Dog for 5 years, haven’t come back in 2 for this reason. Go to Locker Room upstairs instead.
