We have been hearing a lot of good things about the Bulldog. In fact, several people have pegged it as their favorite bar....It is a beer drinkers' wet dream (there are over 20 brands of beer on tap including exotic brews from worldwide and 4 types of Belles) doesn't really seem that special; your typical dress-down neighborhood bar. Beers range from $4-6. However, there is outdoor seating. The patio is fenced in and covered, but it also has heaters that make chilling outside possible for 3 seasons.

The crowd is mixed and many of the patrons play the many games that line the wall. There are also a lot of TV's and although the Bulldog tries to stay away from being dubbed a "sports" bar, it does have satellite TV and shows the big games. The music is played out of the jukebox, Monday night walked in to Metallica's "Unforgiven" and other great hard-rock sounds....If you think that type of music is great. But I guess during off jukebox times music varies by employee.

The Bulldog is new (opened less than a year ago) but definitely has its following and is here to stay. It’s worth a look next time you want to hit up a patio for a chill night. Their happy hour is pretty limited, but they serve food until 1am.

Nice bar if you're a smoker.. If you want a seat get there no later than 9:30 on a weekend. Average drink prices. Meat Market. Bartenders are slow to respond. Otherwise, one of the best bars in uptown if you want to stay away from the pretentiousness of the uptown hipster/yuppie scene.

I agree with the one person who said that thie servers are rude as hell, i have been coming to this place for a long time, but always sat at the bar and thats great, but I took my wife in one afternoon and sat outside, and before i could ask a question I was told that we cannot just sit out there if we were just smoking, I told the rude "server" that we did not smoke and wanted menus, she came back ten minutes later with the menus and did not even ask if we wanted drinks! I complained to the manager who is a friend and that just made it worse! Go to the one N.E. they are nicer there!

After finding a seat we waited for 15 minutes for the waitress. She was extremely rude, asked us for our ID's, and then left without looking at them. She came back 10 minutes later, looked at our ID's, rudely threw them back at us, asked us what we wanted, and brought us our drinks 10 minutes later. It took us 35 minutes to get our drinks. We finished our drinks, and went across the street to the CC Club where the waitress was much nicer. I will NEVER go back here again.

I don't understand why this place can't live up to it's two new locations. It's been around a lot longer so you would think they would fix things up here first instead of opening two new, better versions of it. It's within walking distance from my house but it's stupid that I have to go all the way to the NE location to get decent food.
