| - I love this place for many reasons, there's things I don't particularly like. I'll get the don't likes out of the way first, there's very few and their not big problems.
- there is live music, which I love, but its so loud in there when there is. It may be the layout of the place and the echo it creates off the walls, or the gigantic speakers that are inches from the bar when you're trying to sit and enjoy during your stay.
Actually, other than that little complaint, it's all smooth sailing from here on out. Sit back and enjoy as I take you into the wonderful world of Cleveland's own Happy Dog!
I can't believe I'm just getting around to my review of This establishment "ashamed" (PW knows what I'm talkin about) hahaha. Anyways, their hot dogs are amazing. You're supplied with a hefty checklist consisting of toppings ranging from chimichura to peanut butter. They even had fruit loops once upon a time, they still might..? That's for all you adventurers. For simpletons such as myself, there is different ketchups and mustards, hot sauces, onions and plenty of other toppings. I don't want to spoil the initial surprise of your first glance at the list. After choosing this wonderful creation you're about to eat off of an all beef hot dog, or a vegan sausage, you choose tater tots or fries for a side. Tots are awesome, I recommend them. To wash all this down they have a Willoughby Peanut Butter Porter beer. I normally wouldn't be a fan of something like this, but its gooood. I prefer Bell's Two Hearted Ale(my personal favorite beer).
The bar is an old school feeling bar, I still want to get a shirt someday, possibly, I live 30seconds from the pace, so it may be a bit tacky of me. They have a bar downstairs also, which I think I've been to once in all my times there. The old logo of the dog is awesome, best thing about this place possibly. They replaced it on the outside, but the old one remains in front of the staircase to the downstairs bar/bathroom.
So, to wrap up the mental tour of Happy Dog, if you're looking for a laid back place that has good eats, a good variety of beers, standard full-bar and a wide variety of people of all ages, races, religions, political beliefs and even social outcasts(hipsters) come to this spot right there on the corner of 58th and Detroit. It's a Happy Place!
Hit Dog - caramelized onions, egg, bacon, cucumbers, tater tota and a plethora of sides...
