This place has an iconic vibe. The beautiful wood bar is incredible. It made me wonder about all the people who have gathered around it over the years.
The fact that they have 2 vegan hot dog options was epic! Most hotdog places don’t have options for vegans, so this was a real treat. The dog was great and the sheer number of topping choices was a bit overwhelming but amazing. Our server was kind and gave us plenty of time to make our selections. The tots were great but the hotdogs was were where it was at. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Cleveland.
If you like hotdogs and quirky places, then add this to your list to visit. It's kind of a whole in the wall atmosphere. However, this type always proves to be the best!! Our group is always on the outlook for quirky, and Happy Dog did not disappoint.
They've really stepped up their music booking! They're bringing a ton of great bands into town. I don't get as much as I used to but I got out the other night yo see Alien Nosejob from Australia, and it was great! Parking is only downside, but not really a big deal!
Check this out! 1/2 off drafts, dogs, and tots on Wednesdays til 6pm. What an awesome deal. Always a good time at Happy Dog. Reasonable prices with or without the deals. Love that you can add whatever toppings that you want, and that there are lots of vegan ones. Alien relish and fruit loops are two of my favorites. The vegan shredded mozzarella is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!! Oh, and the tots are the absolute best. Can never go wrong with their tots. 😍😍😍😍
If you want a crazy good hot dog, come here. Insane amount of toppings and they also have fries and tots! Service is always on point and food is fast and delicious!
A Cleveland landmark. Great shows, hot dogs, tots, and cheap beer! What more could you want? Great vintage vibes with the decor and building.
The Bloody Mary here was out of this world. Love that they have Vegan dog options as well. Everything was delicious. Love the atmosphere, right up my alley.
Fantastic place to watch a show. It is a small and intimate venue with great bartenders and staff. We had a great time there. Their main claim to fame is their hot dogs. You can get any topping imaginable on them or hamburgers. I really enjoyed the habanero onions. They also have french fries and potato tots with any type of toppings you would like. See the menus that I posted. They have a fantastic beer selection with many craft choices. I had the 3 Floyd's Hazy IPA. It was really one of the best IPAs I've had for a long time. It is in a very good area and there is parking all around. I drove two and a half miles to get there and was not disappointed. We saw Elise Trouw there who is doing tour around the country. She put on a wonderful show.

My husband and I held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Happy Dog this past weekend and we are SO happy with our decision to do so.
If I'm being honest, I was hesitant to host our rehearsal dinner in the basement of a bar but after a trusted friend loved the idea, we moved forward with them. We are so happy we didn't miss out on this experience because of expectations.
Happy Dog is a Cleveland staple that my partner and I have loved for years. They have vegetarian and meat-lover options that make everyone happy. We were able to rent out the entire basement space, giving us privacy and our own bartender! The lighting was beautiful and the food was even better. We ordered trays of tots with signature sauces and paid for everyone's food and first beer. HD was able to hook up a microphone for us to speak to our guests and everyone was able to move and mingle freely throughout the space.
Not for nothing, the price of Happy Dog was SO competitive. They were able to exceed our expectations and save us some money during a very expensive time. Nick (who we worked with) was very responsive, clear, and kind to work with as well.
If you have an event where you want chill vibes with drinks that will fit your budget, have your event here!
A true one of a kind! Things are kept simple. Food, drinks and music the Cleveland way. A real Rock and Roll capital classic that must be had by all. Hot dogs and burgers. Fries and tots. Beers and live music. Come in and seat yourself grab a paper menu and fill er out. That easy. Than enjoy!
