Great all day happy hour up to 7pm plus specials even after 7pm. Best bar for specials. Recommended.

Have limited food special as well as extensive drinks specials.

Wish opened early during football (ok soccer for Americans) season and if had English grub as a British shop close by even better.

Most bartenders are good but some better than others. A few are very clique with bar staff having favorites but some are not-clique great staff.

Probably like others strange they in evening they scan your ID that other bars in the area do not do. But I am probably not the first to mention about this.

Great for sports.

Need to stop being clique though to be even better.

Update Thursday 13th March 2025:- today's daytime bartender Lauren was extremely polite and respectful plus a great bartender even though I only drink goose island and today's evening petite waitress was friendly too. There is a new bartender Monday day shift who is great too.

The other bartenders good too though noticed the others will buy you a shot for free with them as a keep customers happy buyback but does not help customers like myself that try to avoid liquor and sick with beer or wine (not sure if this bar has wine specials.

Update 17th March 2025 St Patrick's Day but No normal daily specials. Hence once 8 customers to start then got more customers occupy 12 tables where normal Monday around 7 tables would be occupied. But stopping Monday Specials in the hope that people would come in for St Patrick's Day but that backfired as guess regulars left. Makes No sense making your regulars unhappy in the hope of a one day windfall that did not happen.

Wish seats had padding!

Overall a great place that I recommend. Hope my constructive ideas help them be even better as good reviews are great by I give word of mouth too that this bar has always mostly been very positive.

Would improve my rating based on great positive experiences but Google reviews won't let me or they have very hard to find out how to do. So I improving my stars this way instead.

Honestly I’ve had a few fun nights here in the past, but the bouncers really ruin the experience for me. Some of them are on serious power trips and will not let you in out of their own personal reasons/insecurities. I’ve also noticed that the bouncers tend to be more hostile if you’re a POC. This place was cool few years back but i don’t think I’ll be returning here.

It’s a great spot, perfect for happy hours and a fun time with friends—or anyone, really. I’ll definitely be back! I ordered a cocktail that wasn’t my favorite, but I’m excited to try other options next time.

This place wasn’t very nice to me.

The manager here is rude, aggressive, and inconsiderate. I came here for a Sunday night football evening with a couple of friends and racked up a $200+ bill of food and alcohol. I am celiac and cannot eat anything here, so I asked the bar and wait staff if it would be okay to bring something from an outside restaurant that could accommodate my dietary restrictions, since our group was sitting for hours. They said yes, absolutely. Everyone else at the table ordered food from the restaurant, since they didn’t have any dietary restrictions. The manager approached our table without introducing himself or letting us know he was the manager and yelled at me to pack up that food and that it wasn’t welcome here. I tried to explain to him that I received permission to bring this food in due to my allergy, and he kept walking away from me while I was speaking and talking over me. I cannot believe that management treats their patrons so rudely here. If the outside food wasn’t allowed, that would have been fine. But I did ask and was treated inappropriately in the process. Absolutely disgraceful.

My son and I decided to visit this location where we would visit with coworkers in the past. They truly stick to their name by having dog shows on the big screen television. The decor is country style and spacious. Their onion rings are delicious.

I am not a sports fan but I enjoy the atmosphere and energy of Hair of the Dog. The staff from the bartenders and barbacks to security are attentive and kind. The food is delicious and substantial and the drinks are on point.

I was very impressed with the music, and the energy of the bar! Went with a group of girls and had so much fun dancing and didn’t have a hard time getting a drink. Will definitely be back!

I gave food a 4 cuz I didn’t eat here, I only got drinks on a Sunday at 8pm and the music was good, jumping from pop, to hip hop, r & b and every blue moon a Latin song. But all vibes. I love how they have specials pretty much all day. They also got a beer pong table which is cool if you want to actively do something / meet people. Def will come back if I ain’t got no plans or to pre game. Overall for the price of drinks and other near by bars, it’s worth a visit.
