I really don't have anything against this place, and maybe i was just having a bad day when i visited (i was). However i was not overly impressed with anything especially for the price we paid for it.
The food options are standard tavern foods with a decent range of other options too. Lots of beer options available and we did have some good beers while there.
Looking back on it though, i cant see anything that really makes this place stand out over any other restaurant in the area or region.
What a pleasure! I walked from the theater on the William and Mary campus down to Merchant Square after watching a Shakespeare performance and, finding myself parched upon arrival, walked into this bar after I saw about 30 young people leaving the place. Even so, there weren't many seats at the bar, but I found an empty space and settled int to cool off and relax.
Great draft beer selections--all microbrews. No music, just the ambient sounds of conversation and crockery. And excellent service. These bartenders know what they are doing and are attentive but not intrusive. I love the half pint option--it's a great way to try a variety of different beers, and a smaller "taste" option is also available. Â The spicy bar peanuts were tasty, but the bowl needed refilling and tending.
Scheduled to dine with friends, I couldn't eat much, but I wanted something to eat and ordered the deviled eggs which were delicious.
Ok, we almost didn't stay at this place because it smelled like a cafeteria and was loud and crowded (it is in Colonial Williamsburg so that is too be expected). However, we were desperately in need of a drink and to sit down and regroup, so we found a spot at the (quiet) end of the bar. So glad we did! Can't review the food as we didn't eat, but the complimentary spicy nut mix was good. Awesome selection of craft beers and the staff was very accommodating if you didn't know what to try. Would have given 4 stars but for the cafeteria like atmosphere in the eating area. If you find yourself in Col WB, go for beer and just tune that out!
Review Source:OK... I'll admit - we were back in town a few weeks ago and tried Dog Street Pub again for lunch.. and it was nowhere near as annoyingly disastrous as last time! Dog Street Pub, You've redeemed yourself some by me even though the beers are still expensive and the barstools are still uncomfortable.
We stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the Ploughman's Lunch and the Welsh Rarebit. Both were actually very tasty. The pub was nowhere near as busy as it was during our last visit, so the service was much better. We are planning to be back in town later this year, so who knows, maybe we'll be in again.
The family went to walk around Williamsburg. Â My boyfriend and I did a quick lap, and then wandered into the Dog Street Pub. Â We only drank, so I can't critique the food, but this place rocked my world.
The vibe is great! Â Fits the area without coming across as 'old'. Â We looked for some bar seating, but there was nothing available. Â Finally, we found 1 chair at the end of the bar. Â I sat, and my boyfriend stood next to me, and we ordered some beers. Â The draft list was quite extensive and our selections were delicious. Â The beer was priced reasonably too. Â
What brought this place to the top of my list was when a waitress noticed my boyfriend standing, and offered to pull a chair up for him. Â He's a pretty big and strong dude, so when he saw this little tiny waitress go to haul a chair over for him, he went to help her, but the fact that she wasn't even our server, and took the initiative to insure that my boyfriend is comfortable really stood out as a great service-move. Â I appreciated her tremendously.
Finally the menu here looked- Brittish, but tasty! Â I wish we could have eaten, but tummy-space was at a minimum. Â I'd love to go back.
We went here to tonight for date night. Made reservations for 7:00 and they sat us on time. I love the atmosphere....all the different chairs, chandelier and the bartender in a bow tie. The service was a bit slow but once she got our drinks things got better. She was very polite and friendly. The menu...wow! What a selection of beer. I do not drink beer but if I did, it would be neat to have so many options! As for the food selection, I thought it was very small but made ordering easy. The hubs ordered the salmon burger and I ordered the dog street burger. Hubby really enjoyed the salmon burger. I had a bite and it was very flavorful and moist. He said he would order it again. As for my burger....very dry. I ordered it medium and it was so dry I sent it back. Not impressed. They made it again and it turned out very juicy. Yay, right? No. There was absolutely no seasoning on it. Â Just taste like plain hamburger. Sad face. Total bummer. I did not complain to the waitress because she was really busy and we had to go. The fries that came with the burger were yummy. All in all, restaurant was ok but not my favorite. I kind of wish we went next door to the Trellis instead!!!
Review Source:Even though the pub is in a touristy area, it has a great local feel with excellent food. Â I ordered a burger which was actually cooked to my specifications (whereas most places just cook them well-done). Â The fries were wonderful hand cut with sea salt. Â We ordered a cheese plate for the appetizer which had some awesome cheeses we had never tried before. Â But honestly, even if you don't like pub food, you MUST go here for the beer/cider selections. Â Unlike most places, most of the menu is their beer list. Â They also have CIDER and MEAD which can both be really hard to find in restaurants. Â We had the lemon tart for dessert - it was sub-par, but you don't really go to this kind of place for dessert anyway. Â Definitely family friendly, although it might be too noisy during busier hours.
Review Source:no bones about it this dog is no puppy when it comes to great service, food and craft beers. the fried green tomatoes are unbelievably awesome topped with bacon proscuitto and a smathering of goat cheese. the brat burger has to be tasted to believed..beyond good. same for the salmon burger..both are ginormus served with seasoned fries and malt vinegar. everyone enjoyed what they ordered immensely. the craft beers are wonderful..i had the rasputin one night..the 10 percent alchohol this mad monk was packing knocked me on my ass in tandem with two other pints of ale.. we ate here 2 times out of the days we were on vacay because it was that good and reasonably priced..and the prices are beyond reasonable for what you get ...and the service especially don and chris is warm and friendly. don and chris are the bomb! i miss this place already! road trip! definately worth a stop for some great food and drink!
Review Source:Food is terrific except for the fries - they should definitely be crispier. The waiters are attentive and courteous. The big problem is the hostess (thursday 4/18) absolutely no charm and inadequate people skills. Several open tables but we ( and others as well) had to wait 30 mins. to be seated. Food is good though and I would go back. Excellent beer options.
Review Source:Came close to five stars. Great ambience. Great selection of craft beer. Half price on half pint was great. This allowed you to try different draft craft brews without breaking your wallet.
The food was great and average. Â I had the small plate Cioppino Chowder thinking it was an appetizer but was I wrong. It could be a meal in itself. I would imagine the full plate size of this dish would be huge. The chowder was excellent and I highly recommend it. The average was the fish-n-chips. Nothing really special and was kind of bland tasting.
I was in Williamsburg for business travel on a Tuesday by myself. It wasn't crowded. Being by myself I sat at the bar. The bartenders were nice and attentive. The food came out fast and hot. No complaints for service.
So, if it wasn't for the bland fish-n-chips they would have gotten five stars. I will go
3/11/13 Update
Beer was very good as usual. Food was good also. I recommend very much
4/16/2013 Update
Returned to Williamsburg on business. Had dinner here again. Service was friendly and fast, beer was excellent and the food was excellent. Five starts from me at this time.
Stopped in for a birthday lunch. Greeted by the hostess straight away and was seated on the patio within 10 minutes. Waitress was super friendly and helpful. I had the fried cod sandwich with fries. The cod was fried crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. I discarded  the garden of tomato and red onion and kept the cheese and slathered on a touch of tartar sauce that was served on the side. The bun was nicely toasted and stayed together for the duration of the meal. Good bread goes along way to a successful sandwich. This was good bread. Washed it all down with a Washington's Porter from a local brewery in Williamsburg.
The wife had the fried eggplant sandwich with I think house made potato chips. I had a bite of both and they were equally good. She had a red ale from the same brewery. Anxious to go back and try dinner.
This pub is exactly as advertised. better than average bar food, great atmosphere - the main room is nice and open. The highlight was the extensive beer list, and the fantastic service (considering the generic pub expectations).
We went for dinner, and they sat us relatively quickly, considering it was a Friday night at 7:30 and we had no reservations. I had the crab rissoles, which were quite good, and a lot of food. My boyfriend got the DoG House Burger and was not disappointed.
Their in house "chips" were also quite good.
We would return there again, if ever in the area! (especially for lunch)
Huge beer selection! And when we were in there the special was 1/2 price 1/2 pints - definitely a much better deal than it appears at first. Cool upscale pub atmosphere and the food was great. We ordered the Chicken and Dumplings and the Pork in Broth - the Pork in Broth was soooo good! It's a noodle bowl with tender pork and topped with a poached egg. We will definitely be going back for more and to work our way through the beer list!
Review Source:5 stars for beer! Â I went here last weekend for drinks w/ friends and was impressed w/ their craft beer selection and # of local and regional beers.
Our service was good, especially for  "Sat night at the bar" service when they were slammed. Even though we were at the bar, the bartenders were so busy it could've been very easy to neglect us.
Not sure about the food here, but when in Williamsburg, "Food for Thought" Â is my go-to for a good meal.
As visitors to any area, we are always on the lookout for a new, interesting place to eat. Â As beer lovers, the Dog Street Pub seemed to fit the bill. Â Truth be told, it seemed that we caught them just as they were opening. Â The hostess' seating choice seemed unreasonable since the pub was empty, but she willingly moved us to a table that was more to our liking.
The Beer
 Our server was pleasant, however, disappeared for an uncomfortable time period, specifically after we asked to keep the beer menu.  We were forced to flag down another server to take our beer order which seemed to cause quite a bit of confusion as to who was supposed to be serving us. Â
The Hair
Eventually our food arrived. Â Upon removal of the bowl of chips from the plate a hair was found on the entree. Â A quick survey of the floor revealed no servers in sight. Â This time we were forced to employ the hostess to initiate rectification. Â Eventually our server apologetically took away the contaminated dish with a promise to return shortly with a new one. Â In the end, the food was 'ok' - 3 stars....
The Disappointment
Following the 'hunt for beer October' and following the 'hair-cident' and the obvious lack give a sh*t from the staff they still charged us full price. Â
The Tip
We are typically very generous tippers. Â While we still tipped the service provided, we were forced to give less than half of what we would normally have given. Â
The Future
As new Virginians, we expect to make several trips back to Williamsburg. Â However, we will make zero return trips to the Dog Street Pub and we will discourage anyone from patronizing this establishment.
I've been back three times since my initial review, and things have improved. Â Most of the waitstaff know the vegetarian alternatives by heart now (for goodness sake-Dave Everett-just put it on the menu like they do in England). Â The beer selection to be excellent, but it would be great if the draft menu could offer more details such as IBUs.
I'll be going back from time to time, in off-peak hours!
Second out of 2 disappointing trips to Dog St. Pub. One more and its a permanent write-off. The hostess was insufficiently mature to handle the crowd and needs to learn that customer service does not involve making the customer feel they are an annoyance. Family members work in the hospitality industry, so I know it is an early lesson to trainees. Â Food was spotty: Mussels were adequate but beef stew was excellent. Chicken Tika Marsala was room temperature and the rice was uncooked. Waitress started strong, but was too busy to do more than drive by a couple of times. She literally dropped the check on the table. Management has previously offered excuses for poor service, but it they who must train the staff and supervise their behavior. Â But I will say that the Beer was excellent.
Review Source:Dined on 11/24/2012
Micro beer lovers, this is the place for you in the shops at Colonial Williamsburg. Dog Street Pub has an excellent array of brews from all around the country, including one from Du-Claws in Bel Air Maryland.
I love German style bier, especially if it was brewed in Germany, so I ordered the 20oz Draft of Einbecker Winterbock (8.5%), and Sheri had the 5.5oz Unibroue La Fin Du Monde (9%). We both enjoyed out biers to the last drop!!
Note: All draft Biers are specialty items and you won't find any watery bier (Miller, Bud, Coors, etc.) on tap. But if you like those weak tasteless offerings, then yes they are available by the bottle, as well as a ton of other bottled offerings from around the world (literally) all listed on a two full-page bier menu. There are also a couple of different bottled ciders and one on tap.
Lunch was fabulous. I had the Soup & Sandwich special (Meg H., this is very clearly listed as a half-sandwich on the menu). The sandwich special is different everyday, and today it was a toasted Turkey, cranberry mustard, and guerie cheese on a 7-grain bread, quite good!!! (note: I would have added some pickled onions to it). The soup was a wonderful rendition of a Roasted Red Pepper Bisque, that was absolutely delicious. My wife kept grabbing my spoon for tastes and ended up eating half of my soup...LOL!!! (see pictures)
Sheri had the Curried Chicken Salad sandwich that was served open-faced. This was a very uniquely, but deliciously flavored offering that we both enjoyed. It was served on focaccia bread, which would have been better toasted, and we ended up just pushing the chicken salad onto the plate to eat without the bread. The serving size of chicken salad was huge. (see pictures)
Both offerings came with super crunchy and quite Yummy kettle chips.
We ate at the Bar, as there was a 45 minute wait, which was probably more like 60 minutes. I found the hostess to be pleasant but not overly friendly as she was swamped. The bartender did a great job with a full-house on a holiday weekend. The Bar stools are not as uncomfortable as L. L. would have you believe, but they are very heavy and hard to move around once you sit.
I also think the prices to be quite fair considering that this restaurant is located smack dap in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg on the main road which is vehicle restricted within immediate walking distance to the historic area.
My wife and I frequent Williamsburg often, and make no mistake we will be coming back to the Dog Street Pub!!!
Ein groß Bier, bitte! Dà nké!!
I really wanted to LOOOOOVE this place, sadly I didn't.
The location is so so so perfect, but the execution and staff are not.
Man and myself went here on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm- the hostess was VERY rude and dismissive of us. Told us it would be a 15 minute wait- we gladly came back in 15 minutes and they were rude again saying it would be another ten minutes. Look I don't have a problem waiting- I have a problem with bad manners.
Finally we got a table outside- thank goodness because it was HOT and cramped inside.
waitress was nice enough. She took our drink orders and appetizer order and ran off.
We ordered a beer and a hard cider, and the green fried tomatoes without bacon.
She brought back the wrong cider, and the GF Tom's with bacon all over it. The GFT was terrible- bad bad bad.
We both ordered the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. I thought that meant like an entire sandwich- no that was half a sandwich and the bisque. The bisque was ok- it was a step up from canned Campbell's tomato- but not AMAZING.
In general it was really not a great experience- the people watching location is the only reason it gets 2 stars.
if you like British fare (i.e. food with no flavor or seasoning), you'll love it here! Â My friends and I were very excited to eat here, as all of the food looked amazing. Â But when we actually ate the food it was very disappointing. Â Review of the dishes we had:
(1) Deviled eggs: Â the filling was crusted over and it had clearly been sitting in the fridge, as the eggs had an odd flavor to them that was clearly from fridge cross-flavoring
(2) Potted Crab: Â thought this was a creamy crab dip but it is literally just crab in a pot. Â and that crab tasted like the can it was taken out of.
(3) English Banger Sausage Sandwich: Â literally had NO TASTE! Â making sausage is more than just grinding meat into a casing. Â You need to actually put seasonings into the meat.
(4) Hamburgers: Â must have been made with very poor quality meat as the patties were grissly. Â these also lacked flavor.
Final thought: Â don't advertise yourself as a place that serves food "without pretension" and then go and describe the taste of sprite in detail.
I'm surprised we didn't eat here more than once during our trip.
The beer selection ALONE should gain this place the five star rating. Â So many different and local choices for draft beers - all craft brews and a hundred or so bottle options. Â I like that you can do a taste, a half pint, or a full pint so you can try a lot of different kinds.
I had the cod sandwich which was fantastic! Â The breading was the perfect thickness and flavored nicely. Â The fries were typical steak fries but they were good. Â My husband had the daily special of soup and sandwich. Â The soup was an O'Conner Beer Cheddar soup and was OUTSTANDING! Â Just bursting with flavor!
Service was good & efficient. Â We waited about 10 minutes for a table during lunch on Thursday.
Considering colonial Williamsburg is a tourist attraction, my expectations for restaurant dining were pretty much in the toilet. However, those low expectations were comfortably surpassed by Dog Street Pub, and what would've been a solid three stars is getting bumped to four by of the beer selection.
I was told we were going to a gastropub and expected a handful of mildly interesting options. I was beyond pumped when I saw the menu of some couple hundred brews, including an oft-rotating draft list (not that that benefits me, but good to see on principle). Hubs and I decided on a Heavy Seas Pumpkin Ale (didn't even realize they were doing a seasonal) and an Ommegang Hennepin.
The food's upscale pub/bar fare. My roast beef sandwich (with sautéed onions and horseradish dip) was satisfying and pretty tasty. I thought Ryan's burger was kind of dry (ordered it medium), the bun hard, and the tomato had the taste and texture one finds when it's out of season. However, Ryan was fine with it and I didn't try it until it'd been on the table for at least 20 mins, so I'll defer to his judgement, and other burger-eaters were happy with their meals as well.
The place is bright and new, has TV screens with sports games sprinkled around, and feels spacious (though reservations are recommended). It's set in modern times (no acting here), and our service was very friendly and competent. We did have one beer delivered mysteriously warm, but it was replaced immediately. I was also impressed that our reservation was ready on the dot, including a high chair already set up at the table. It was a good place to bring a baby, by the way. Space for strollers at the back, and loud enough that shrieks of delight and moments of fussiness are completely lost in the crowd noise.
Next time I'm back here, this'll definitely be where I head when I want a beer, whether it not I want some food to go with it.
A buddy of mine asked me to pick up a beer menu from Dog Street Pub while I was in Williamsburg as he and his family are planning a visit in the near future, Â Otherwise, I am not sure that I would have known about it.
I stopped in about 8 PM on a very nice Thursday evening. Â I was actually surprised by the lack of people in the establishment. Â (I should note that the lack of people was surprising as this establishment is in Market Square.) Â As a solo dinner, I sat at the bar. Â The bar is split in two by a column. Â One half of the bar has two big screen TVs and the other half has nothing. Â I had not noticed this until after I had sat down and placed my order.
If you are a beer connoisseur, this is the place for you. Â The draft beer and ale menu changes every 1-3 days. Â The bottled beer menu has about 200 choices, local, national, and international.
The menu is typical pub/bar food, with some fusion between British and American traditional choices. Â I ordered the fried green tomatoes (with argula, goat cheese, and back bacon). Â It was flavorful and almost enough for two as a small plate. Â But the two slices of fired green tomatoes were just luke warm and the crust was a little soggy. Â I then ordered a Dog Street Pub burger - Angus beef and back bacon, as well as the normal fixings. Â It was delivered with "chips". Â The burger was cooked exactly to order and both the burger and chips were flavorful.
The service was attentive.
As an aside, even though it was not busy when I was there, I would surmise that if you wanted to go to a place that offered some privacy for quiet conversation, this would NOT be the place. Â The tables are placed very close together.
We love W'burg and now have a
freshman at W&M, so we'll be visiting regularly. Decided to ignore the negative reviews and give DoG St. Pub a shot...so glad we did! DoG burger is one of the best I've had, with a great sauce (similar to Heinz 57), cheddar, soft/chewy roll, "back bacon" that tasted a lot like the delicious Virginia ham you get on biscuits in the historic area, and top-notch fries ("chips"). My wife thoroughly enjoyed her fried cod sandwich with chips and our dining companions were very happy, too. My cousin enjoyed her warm honey ham and cheese sandwich, while her husband polished off an entire "Very Large Griddled Hot Dog" (it was,too!) and commented on how good the hot dog and Guiness chili were.
We all appreciate good food, decent service, and a comfortable atmosphere, and DoG Street Pub exceeded our expectations. Well-done!
This was in the top three worst restaurant experiences of my life. Â The waiter made us wait about a half hour for our drinks because he said they had to go downstairs to get them. Â Finally we get our drinks. Â Then he serves all of us our food except for one person, and he tells us her food is not done yet. Â It came out about 10 minutes later, while the rest of our food got cold. Â None of the meat was seasoned, and my sandwich was the most bizarre sandwich I have ever seen put together, with six pieces of bread. Â When we gave him the money for our bill, it took him about 20 minutes to come back with our change, and he shorted us a nickel because he said he didn't have one. Â Horrible, pass this place if ever given the chance!
Review Source:DoG Street Pub, we love you! We have had the good fortune to find ourselves in Williamsburg twice in one month, and both times have made daily visits to the DoG. Now, we were warned by a local that because this is a new establishment, they are still working some kinks out, and yes I would have to agree that some aspects need to be re-thought out. However, over all I think this is a successful venture, and well, we like it! By the way, I should respectfully insert at this point that this is owned by the same person who owns "The Blue Talon" (flamed below...sorry! :-s).
We generally found ourselves there in the afternoons, around 3-4pm, when it was pretty busy. We LOVED sitting right up the bar. The stools are comfy and supporting and generally invite you to linger way longer than one probably should. The color scheme is a restful mixture of blue, browns with wrought iron and heavy woods....and they even have the little under bar hooks for the ladies purses (love these small details). This is a pub, but I think it is a step above a pub, even given that I have been to a gastro pub before, this place, at least with respect to their huge selection of beers etc are far above anything I have experienced. My husband and I are a couple of self confessed beer snobs (is this possible?), and the DoG catered very well to all our whims. However, I picked a fabulous Belgian Beer "Hennepin" on the first day, and pretty much stuck to this throughout all our visits. My husband was a little more adventurous...but interestingly enough his final beer was a "Hennepin", proving that a woman knows a good beer! :)
We generally stuck to their small plate selection. I picked the "hummus" on all days, and on all days it was fabulous...one tip to the DoG - only ever serve this with those fabulous pickled onions (amazing...so amazing, my husband kept stealing them)....not the sliced pickles...geeesh! My husband enjoyed the "crab pot", and on a subsequent visit thoroughly enjoyed the "fried green tomatoes".
Our biggest disappointment was on our final day (8/12/12), so thrilled with our other experiences we decided to make this our final port of call before heading out of Williamsburg. Our first meal of the day (we are late risers), we showed up just as the doors opened at 11am. Opting this time for coffee (too early for beer). The coffee was excellent. "Illy", I think?...and very well made, presented in a fun stainless steel set. We both got excited about the "smoked salmon on focaccia" and thought it would make a good protein start to the day and leave our bellies happy. Not so. Michael, you really need to check this one. My husband's salmon was anemic (which made him wonder about how long it had been stored), and mine looked nuclear pink (I never like to see this...it screams cheap!...sorry, but it does!). The focaccia was soggy - why? The whole presentation seriously lacked any flavor...even of the aforementioned salmon. The entire thing was strangely ice cold, almost as if certain parts were pre made and kept in cold storage? The bar man might remember a lady asking for lemon wedges. This was my desperate attempt to inject some flavor. Nothing! We ordered a side of "chips" to share, which were lovely...exactly like we make them back home. We finished the chips, my husband mostly finished his meal, and I left half of mine. Disappointing!
That said, we will definitely return. Like I said, we like this place...no, we LOVE this place! Yes, it's working out some things, and I truly feel it will. The staff are absolutely lovely. Very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive (honestly, I hate to dig again but, they could teach the BT wait staff a thing or two). We wish them well...just work out that menu, and the hands that are behind preparing it.
My wife and i were passing through to visit Colonial Williamsburg and stopped into the Dog Street Pub to escape the July heat and have a cold brew. It was nice to find a good selection of local fresh ales and other beers available and the atmosphere was nice too. There are big-screen TV's for those who like to have something to watch while they enjoy a beverage. We had a cheese platter of some very good local cheeses and a bowl of their house bar mix of nuts (complimentary) which had a nice mix of spiced and candied nuts. All in all, a nice place I would visit again.
Review Source:Not impressed at all. Â We had to wait 15 minutes to be seated even though there were several tables open. Â The decor is drab and cold. Â It's not very inviting. Â The "community" table that groups strangers together is not my thing at all. Â A Pub is supposed to be warm, inviting and fun. Â It is none of those things. Â
The beer list is 5 times larger than the food menu. Â The menu is very limited and a little pricey for what it is. Â I only had drinks and appetizers so I did not try anything big. Â I had the Calamari and "chips" and they were both very bland and plain. Â
The service was ok, but overall there was nothing about it that would tempt me to go back.
My daughter and I ate at Dog St Pub the day after it opened. Â Dog Street Pub describes itself as an "American Gastropub," but the food offerings are more British than American, and are a little limited (especially if you don't like British food!). However, the quality of the food is excellent, including the most flavorful Bangers and Mash I've ever tasted (and I've sampled that dish all over England and Ireland). Â The fish and chips came with mushy peas (for the unacquainted, mushy peas are supposed to be mushy :) ). Â The fish was somewhat plain, but I've thought that about the fish for fish and chips just about everywhere. Â The chips were great. Â Didn't have any of the dessert. Â The beer selection, bottled and draught, is huge and excellent. Didn't sample any of the wine offerings.
The physical restaurant itself is attractive outside and in. Â Nice location in newly renovated space.
I didn't ask about a kids menu and none was offered to my 10-year-old, suggesting there isn't one. Â The beer selection clearly targets the adult visitor, but the atmosphere was lively and relaxed enough to feel welcoming to my daughter.
Because we visited on the day after it opened for business, I expected the service to have some kinks to work out, but it was smooth. We were seated outside within the time the hosts promised. Â Wait staff was friendly, attentive, and responsive.
In my experience, restaurants in tourist areas can usually get away with poor food and service because they don't rely on repeat customers. Â Dog Street Pub bucks this trend. Â Diners will be pleased, so long as they are interested in the somewhat limited items on the menu, and especially if they enjoy good beer.
