Fantastic hot dog place/live music venue. Amazing hot dogs. Really nice staff. I had a vegan dog with marinated mushrooms, caramelized onion, garlic escarole, Italian giardineira, and roasted garlic aioli. It was AMAZING. Also had some fresh cut fries which were great. Tons of sauces to choose from. Will be back for sure!

A flash from the past, oversized horseshoe bar packed with 30 something hipster, lots of skull caps.Imagine if Barrio meets sloppy hot dogs mixed in with a bit of nostalgia of that hometown, everyone knows your name feel.The service was quick, and the food came out hot and fast. I ordered an all beef hot dog with nacho cheese sauce served on a Wonder Bread soft hot dog bun and an order of crisp golden brown tater tots. I even got a delicious micro brewed root beer, which was very good. We happened to be there to hear some great local bands, which included John's little sister, who was well received by the young crowd. If I'm in the area, I'll be back

I rented the basement space, Underdog, for a party this past weekend and it was awesome! It was so nice to have a private bar, me and my guests could order food without needing to go upstairs, and we had a bathroom to ourselves too. It was easy to go between the basement and the main room for the concert that night too. Absolutely going to look into renting this space again for any of my Cleveland party needs.

Crazy creations and delicious dogs! Macaroni and fruit loops or Pineapple and eggs?!? Well those are just a few of the combinations possible on there seemingly endless amounts of mix and match options. Two of our favorites from our visit were the pulled pork hot dog with coleslaw, pineapple, bbq and honey mustard and other toppings to recreate one of there recommended hot dogs. We also were really surprised by just how good a fresh egg could taste on top of our bacon and cheese packed breakfast themed hotdog with alien relish. Happy dog also offers a great beer selection both canned and draft. Micro brews to old school brands you just don’t see much anymore it was a fun list to pick from. While an acquired taste the cranberry tart they had on draft was sour but delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful too. I can’t wait to return and maybe hopefully even catch some live music. If there isn’t a band well at least I know there will be pinball!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options both availableKid-friendliness: We went around 4:30 and it was still a very friendly vibe with several different families dining. As the night goes on though it definitely seems like they will attract a more adult crowd.
