RisaAugust 15, 2015Dive bar w live music and TONS of toppings to create-your-own specialties. Pictured here: beef dog w bacon-laced southern greens & ballpark mustard + tater tots w homemade sloppy joe & nacho cheese.
Kelly WatsonJuly 24, 2013A delicious and cheap seat yourself dive! You can't go wrong with the beef or vegan option hot dogs and you have to try the tots. Best thing-get as many sauces as you can and taste all the goodness!
Ami H.July 16, 2017Pinball, garlic escarole/garlic aioli/applewood smoked bacon hotdog, tater tots with chip shop curry sauce, Dortmunder Gold lager, and the ladies room graffiti. Forgot my Sharpie, pisser.
Matt RupertDecember 10, 2015Classic pinball Machines are super cool. Plus lots of beer choices, bartenders seem to be knowledgeable about what is good. Bumbleberry beer was excellent !!!
Tana BabcockJuly 13, 2015Who knew filling out a form to order a hot dog would be such fun! And also delicious! I tried a variation of the Greek dog - good stuff + awesome hole in the wall ambience.
Great place to grab a beer and a brat. A lot of the topping choices aren't vegan but house made ketchup and ballpark mustard are so delicious you won't miss the rest!
Kevin DudleyAugust 7, 2014While you have free reign to go nuts with the toppings, I recommend picking just a few per hot dog and trying to coordinate them. Nacho cheese, sloppy Joe, and Andy Capp hot fries worked great for me.- Ivo TzvetkovAugust 12, 2019A great place to grab lunch with the kids. Put unlimited toppings on your hot dog or burger ranging from Froot Loops to Brazilian chimichurri. At night it host numerous local bands and public talks
Almost 100 toppings. You'd think $5 would be a lot for hot dog in cle but this is no ordinary hot dog. Try weird toppings. I like Mac n cheese, coleslaw, do cha, bacon greens. Get tots too!
Great hot dogs and tater tots with tons of toppings. Also an excellent venue for local musicians and concerts.
Lenny GalloJuly 18, 2013Being from Chicago I'm picky about this topic-so skip the Relish and ketchup. Suggestions, Chipotle Hollandaise, white buffalo sauce, and chorizo are excellent for any dog or order of tater tots.- Teddy MillerApril 8, 2015Both the classic hot dog and the veggie dog are delicious. Beer is always good. Who cares if the place is filled with hipsters, this place is all around good
Dive bar meets hot dog combos that are out of this world! Try the chunky peanut butter with sriracha on your dog!
Jon DagataJanuary 26, 2013Most unique hotdog I've ever eaten! So delicious! Coco puffs, homemade peanut butter, and Oaxacan red chile and chocolate mole!
Cavana FaithwalkerAugust 9, 2014It's definitely a neighborhood joint and has that Feel. I occasionally sit at the bar have a brew and a dog. They have veggie dogs. Great local beer selection.
Rachel WhinneryDecember 23, 2015Decent hot dogs with more than a variety of toppings. Great beer choices too! Can't wait to go back to this seemingly hole-in-the-wall bar. :)
Live music and $5 cover several nights a week. If you aren't interested get in before 9 pm or after midnight. If you like live music, this is an awesome rock club!
Hot Dog! Live music, great beers on tap, tons of toppings to choose from. Get a different combo each time. And I always recommend a side of the tots with saffron aioli dipping sauce.
cool place to hang out. this place is quite unique. simple menus hot dogs tator tots fries say it all.some live music is pretty neat! but at the same time watch out for the hippies!
John RunnionJanuary 1, 2014Best, most extensive draft beer selection in town. Great hot dogs. Tons of sauces to chose from for the gator tots.
Mark de JongMarch 18, 2016The place might look like a regular bar, but their dogs are amazing! Lots of combos possible so go creative!
One of my go to spots in Cle! Plus, hear some amazing classical music here every third Tuesday of the month!
Best hotdogs and toppings! Tots and fries are good too I do wish they would melt the cheese on them
Cleveland MagazineMarch 14, 2012We love loading our dog with everything-bagel cream cheese, French's friend onions, bacon and a fried egg. Don't forget to throw in a side of tater tots.
Food is good, I'd recommend the peanut butter, however I don't know if it's good enough to go and deal with the overwhelming hipster crowd. Sunday afternoon = less hipsters.
Destination ClevelandMarch 20, 2012So many toppings, tons of beer, live music. Life is happy at The Happy Dog.
Annie TunnicliffeAugust 27, 2014Such a cool joint, veggie dogs are to die for and you can add pretty much anything to your hot dog
The vegan/vegetarian dog is incredibly tasty! It is it's own delectable delight!
I strongly recommend cole slaw on your dog! The Caribbean cole slaw is delicious.
Sarah WhiteJuly 7, 2013I don't usually get vegetation/vegan options but I think both dogs are good. It's also good without any dog!- Mike HamelMarch 28, 2015Amazing customizable hot dogs obviously. Great for late nights after the bar.
Richa GuptaFebruary 24, 2013Veggie hot dog is amazing. Try the coffee sauce, peanut butter, and mac n cheese on top.
Tater tots, top secret fry sauce, and be sure to get the fried egg on your hotdog!
Can't decide what to put on your dog? Try a suggestive wiener!!
Nick CampionNovember 7, 2013awesome experience. 50 choices for toppings! peanut butter, egg and beans a must!
Rachel DulebaAugust 26, 2014You would be hard-pressed to find something not delicious here. Love it.
Holy mole batman! The Oaxacan mole and the bacon-balsamic marmalade with the tots is the best!
Make sure to get at least a few dipping sauces for your tater tots!
Build your own hot dogs draw you in, but do NOT forget the Tots!- Under Dog in the basement has burgers with the same selection of toppings!
Jason KApril 25, 2010The peanut butter, egg, bacon, fruit loops and jelly suggested dog is a taste explosion in your mouth. Add Momocho haberno hot sauce for some extra kick.
Bryan GattozziJune 7, 2010Friday Happy Hour: Ohio City Opry--country music DJ. Listen to the best of Merle, Cash, Patsy Cline, etc while drinking a PBR and crunching the world's best tater tots.
Paula HeislerMarch 12, 2015GO HERE!!!! Eat. Drink and be very merry that you did! You can not go wrong!
