| - Oh, Happy Dog. You are cozy and delicious and whenever I'm happily bopping to the music next to that Elvis lamp with PBR in hand, I know I'm home.
Like everyone else has mentioned, those tater tots are just ridiculous. You need them. The veggie sausage is super tasty, and I love that most of the toppings are vegetarian unless otherwise stated. Ordering in a loud bar can be a terrible experience, what with all the yelling and awkward hand gestures, but the Happy Dog has a system where you just check off your dog (regular or veggie sausage), toppings (a TON of yummy choices), and tater tots or fries. For the most part, drinks are very cheap; and the bartenders are great.
It's a great spot for live music, and the bands that play are very diverse - I really think there's something for everyone.
One thing and two teeny-tiny ~suggestions~ keep me from giving the Happy Dog 5 stars:
- That damn cover charge. Listen, I have no problem paying $5-$10 to hear live music and have a nice night out. But there are times that I'm just popping in to get a veggie dog and some tots, and I sort of resent paying that $5 cover when that's the case. I wish they'd either have no cover for parts of the evening or refund the charge when you order food.
- I would love to see the addition of a regular veggie hotdog on the menu - it would complement certain toppings better than the sausage does (not that the sausage isn't fantastic!).
- A patio! Do want!
