Ugly Dog has some AMAZING wings. I will say that Hot Garlic, and Chipotle Gold are my go-to wing sauces on a Thursday night.
The only times I've ever been to Ugly Dog were for their awesome Thursday Night Special on wings which are 25 cents a piece. So you can go to Ugly Dog and order as many wings as your little heart desires and get a few beers and get weird.
Believe me, I live for getting weird (drunk) and eating wings, and Ugly Dog Saloon supplies that to my much needed lifestyle.
I was shocked to actually enjoy myself at the Ugly Dog. Â I was told to expect something completely unlike what I ended up experiencing as it was described to me as a hole in the wall dump that was filthy. Â Minus the smokieness, and the fact it was totally packed, I had a great time and cannot say anything bad about it! Â
I did not have food, just some beers, and got to enjoy some awesome people watching, sports on TV and good music brought to us by the DJ... some older school goodies too!
I have been to this place on more than one occasion and let me just say, each time has been great. The food & drinks are reasonably priced and if it's a game-day, there are always drink specials. I find the waitstaff are nice to you if you are nice to them. (Which is really any place you go unless they are automatic as*holes)
This past Sunday I attended a comedy show they hosted, which was hilarious and quite entertaining. Of course while I was there I ordered their hot wings with ranch/celery and a couple nice cold drafts to wash it all down. So good every time! The wings aren't super "hot" (as in spicy) but just have that perfect "kick" to keep you drooling for more. I tried my friends' wings, but I can't seem to remember all the different kinds we ordered. (Besides my hot) I'll find out & update. I do have to add one *special note* that the one bartender was running all over timbuktu getting our food/drinks, while still tending to the bar. She did a wonderful job and was really nice about us ordering more wings...some time later. Ha!
You may be wondering after reading this review (Thanks btw) why I didn't give it 5 stars...and that is only because this establishment allows smoking. Now, I will have one every so often so I'm not trying to be a hypocrite, however, I don't care to inhale nor smell smoke while I'm trying to eat. I found the best choice is to sit in the dining area (To the right as you walk in) where not as many smoking fellas venture.
I highly recommend visiting on Sundays when it's 30 cent wings (Increments of 5 wings per your choice of wing sauce).
One night I was on the other side of town, a long way from home, and had an hour to kill before an appointment. I walked into The Ugly Dog Saloon because I saw it and liked the name. The parking lot was crowded, so I figured, "popular place." All of the tables were filled, and I managed to find one empty seat at the bar. They had a nice selection of beers on their taps, so I ordered one of my favorite IPAs and some buffalo wings and fries from a very pretty lady at the bar. I was shocked at how fast they came out of the kitchen. I figured I'd be waiting a long time for my food because of how crowded the place was, but in under five minutes I had a plate full of hot and crispy wings, and some exceptionally crispy fries. They were those batter coated fries, and I ate every last one of them. I tried another microbrew that I hadn't ever had before and asked for my check from a very polite, and very tall, young man working behind the bar. I was stunned at how low my bill was, but I had come during one of their wing night specials. I left an extra large tip, and decided that this was the kind of place that I'd like to come back to. The next time I visited, it was with a friend, and it was "a hockey night in Pittsburgh." The place was once again packed, and we had to stand for a little while before somebody left and we got a seat. Once again, the bartenders took care of us right away, and the food came out super quick, and the wings were delicious. I've only been to this place three times, and every time I've had a good experience. It can be a little on the loud side in there, but that's because there are lots of people in the room, and it's a large room. Maybe next time I'll try something else besides the wings, but I must say that their wings and fries are excellent, and the tap selection is great!
Review Source:I was in town and didn't wanna drive to the Carson strip. Found this place thanks to the girl at the front desk of our hotel. Top shelf liquer was super cheap, no cover and people were friendly and made us feel like we were regulars. Girls were receptive. Talked to everyone and they bought us shots. We did have an issue with one girl who was yelling at us, but the bouncer was cool and told them to shut up and invited us back for the next day! Â It's a little local joint with big time potential. If they read this; Thanks for your hospitality and showing us Jersey Boys a good time. Oh yeah, and thanks to the girls who drove us home since the cab service in town sucks.
Review Source:A group of us decided to watch the Pens Game here...WOW...We are fans! Ugly Dog Saloon had a huge Projector Screen right in the middle of the Bar for all the action up close and the food was GREAT!
The WINGS were Excellent for the Price...CHEAP!
We also ordered the 'Big Ugly'...it is a CHEESE STEAK sandwhich with a Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed inside. Let me Repeat...Steak, Burger, Bacon, Nacho Cheese, White Cheese, Mushroom, Onions all STUFFED into a 12" Roll...for your enjoyment. The sandwhich was AMAZING!
Well, the Wings are different, thats for sure. They use a dry seasoning on top, which I wasn't so sure about at first, but ended up loving them. They have a few pool tables and the music is top40ish from rap top40 (-1) to alt top40. I don't go out of my way to go there except Wing Night and sometimes Fridays to meet some friends that are regulars.
