Dive bar w live music and TONS of toppings to create-your-own specialties. Pictured here: beef dog w bacon-laced southern greens & ballpark mustard + tater tots w homemade sloppy joe & nacho cheese .

Kelly Watson

A delicious and cheap seat yourself dive! You can't go wrong with the beef or vegan option hot dogs and you have to try the tots . Best thing-get as many sauces as you can and taste all the goodness!

Ami H.

Pinball , garlic escarole/garlic aioli/applewood smoked bacon hotdog , tater tots with chip shop curry sauce , Dortmunder Gold lager , and the ladies room graffiti . Forgot my Sharpie, pisser.

Matt Rupert

Classic pinball Machines are super cool. Plus lots of beer choices , bartenders seem to be knowledgeable about what is good. Bumbleberry beer was excellent !!!

Tana Babcock

Who knew filling out a form to order a hot dog would be such fun! And also delicious! I tried a variation of the Greek dog - good stuff + awesome hole in the wall ambience.

Justine Arreche

Great place to grab a beer and a brat . A lot of the topping choices aren't vegan but house made ketchup and ballpark mustard are so delicious you won't miss the rest!

Ivo Tzvetkov

A great place to grab lunch with the kids. Put unlimited toppings on your hot dog or burger ranging from Froot Loops to Brazilian chimichurri . At night it host numerous local bands and public talks

Kevin Dudley

While you have free reign to go nuts with the toppings, I recommend picking just a few per hot dog and trying to coordinate them. Nacho cheese , sloppy Joe , and Andy Capp hot fries worked great for me.

Teddy Eisenberg

Great hot dogs and tater tots with tons of toppings. Also an excellent venue for local musicians and concerts .

Teddy Miller

Both the classic hot dog and the veggie dog are delicious. Beer is always good. Who cares if the place is filled with hipsters , this place is all around good

Chrissy Stonebraker-Martinez

Almost 100 toppings. You'd think $5 would be a lot for hot dog in cle but this is no ordinary hot dog . Try weird toppings. I like Mac n cheese , coleslaw , do cha, bacon greens. Get tots too!

Michael Zickefoose

Dive bar meets hot dog combos that are out of this world! Try the chunky peanut butter with sriracha on your dog!

Lenny Gallo

Being from Chicago I'm picky about this topic-so skip the Relish and ketchup . Suggestions, Chipotle Hollandaise , white buffalo sauce , and chorizo are excellent for any dog or order of tater tots .

Jon Dagata

Most unique hotdog I've ever eaten! So delicious! Coco puffs, homemade peanut butter , and Oaxacan red chile and chocolate mole !

Cheapism

Good food, live music and cocktails . What more do you need? Serving up quarter pound hot dogs , veggie sausages , French fries and tater tots . Load your dog with as many as 50 toppings for only $5. Read more

Rachel Whinnery

Decent hot dogs with more than a variety of toppings. Great beer choices too! Can't wait to go back to this seemingly hole-in-the-wall bar . :)

Cavana Faithwalker

It's definitely a neighborhood joint and has that Feel. I occasionally sit at the bar have a brew and a dog. They have veggie dogs . Great local beer selection .

Brandon Vulpitta

Live music and $5 cover several nights a week. If you aren't interested get in before 9 pm or after midnight. If you like live music , this is an awesome rock club !

Jessica

Hot Dog ! Live music , great beers on tap , tons of toppings to choose from. Get a different combo each time. And I always recommend a side of the tots with saffron aioli dipping sauce .

Victor B.

cool place to hang out. this place is quite unique. simple menus hot dogs tator tots fries say it all.some live music is pretty neat! but at the same time watch out for the hippies!

Mark de Jong

The place might look like a regular bar , but their dogs are amazing! Lots of combos possible so go creative!

John Runnion

Best, most extensive draft beer selection in town . Great hot dogs . Tons of sauces to chose from for the gator tots .

Jeiran Hasan

One of my go to spots in Cle! Plus, hear some amazing classical music here every third Tuesday of the month!

Alex C

Best hotdogs and toppings! Tots and fries are good too I do wish they would melt the cheese on them

Kevin McCall

Really cool relics like this pinball machine and Elvis lamp.

Cleveland Magazine

We love loading our dog with everything-bagel cream cheese , French's friend onions , bacon and a fried egg . Don't forget to throw in a side of tater tots .

Ami

Food is good, I'd recommend the peanut butter , however I don't know if it's good enough to go and deal with the overwhelming hipster crowd . Sunday afternoon = less hipsters .

Destination Cleveland

So many toppings, tons of beer , live music . Life is happy at The Happy Dog.

Annie Tunnicliffe

Such a cool joint, veggie dogs are to die for and you can add pretty much anything to your hot dog

Renee B

I strongly recommend cole slaw on your dog! The Caribbean cole slaw is delicious.

Allen Harris

The vegan/vegetarian dog is incredibly tasty! It is it's own delectable delight!

Sarah White

I don't usually get vegetation/vegan options but I think both dogs are good. It's also good without any dog!

Mike Hamel

Amazing customizable hot dogs obviously. Great for late nights after the bar .

Tricia McCune

Can't decide what to put on your dog? Try a suggestive wiener!!

Richa Gupta

Veggie hot dog is amazing. Try the coffee sauce, peanut butter , and mac n cheese on top.

Michelle Berki

Tater tots , top secret fry sauce , and be sure to get the fried egg on your hotdog !

Nick Campion

awesome experience. 50 choices for toppings! peanut butter , egg and beans a must!

Rachel Duleba

You would be hard-pressed to find something not delicious here. Love it.

Elizabeth James

I love the atmosphere, food, and large selection of beer !

Taylor Quinn

Holy mole batman! The Oaxacan mole and the bacon-balsamic marmalade with the tots is the best!

Steve Lawn

Build your own hot dogs draw you in, but do NOT forget the Tots !

Will Brickles

Great concept and a very solid beer list .

Sasha Coyle

Under Dog in the basement has burgers with the same selection of toppings!

Jon Drenski

Get the baked beans on your dog and the chili on your tater tots !

Sasha Coyle

Make sure to get at least a few dipping sauces for your tater tots !

Jason K

The peanut butter , egg , bacon , fruit loops and jelly suggested dog is a taste explosion in your mouth. Add Momocho haberno hot sauce for some extra kick.

Bryan Gattozzi

Friday Happy Hour : Ohio City Opry--country music DJ . Listen to the best of Merle, Cash, Patsy Cline, etc while drinking a PBR and crunching the world's best tater tots .

Ricky Sherrill

Be sure to try their chili . Great dogs too.

Kelly Babock

Loved the dogs but the music wasn't great so it's not always my cup of tea

Paula Heisler

GO HERE!!!! Eat. Drink and be very merry that you did! You can not go wrong!
