The Spotted Dog is mostly a local hangout and probably has the same small group in there all the time. Good prices on drinks. Menu has typical bar food options. About the best thing that can be said is it has cheap drinks. It's about $2.50 for a basic liquor. They also pour these pretty strong. Food isn't as impressive. Pretzel Bites are probably the healthiest thing. It's $7 for a basket. The rest of the food includes the infamous Horseshoe sandwich, which is a big ass open faced sandwich covered in fries and cheese sauce, and that's about it. Go here to drink, eat, and play games. It has quite a few slots for a tiny ass place. The drinks are cheap and the food is the basic stuff.

We were here on a Thursday night because Lil Beaver was packed up. There was a retirement party…read moregoing on, so it was hard to know where you could and could not sit. We sat at a table in the general area by the pool table, but no servers ever came by so we moved over to the bar area. I was excited to see the "pour your own" feature on the wall, that was a cool thing. However, when asking our server what Fruit Sour beers they had, I was informed that they don't have IPA or "the like"...which was totally confusing given the beer machine on the wall that was all IPA and craft beers. Did she mean cans? Ehh I don't know. But I digress... Food was ok. The cheese curds were fantastic. We received a water in a dirty glass that had an old soda stain on the bottom - so that was gross. Burger was good but on the smaller side. Service was not good, though I suspect it was because they were severely understaffed. A bartender has no business serving tables with a retirement party going on and a non stop line at the bar. No one was helping her whatsoever and it had to of been overwhelming. Not to mention one of the employees kept walking by and wiping his nose with his hand/forearm so that was pretty gross. All in all, I hear locals really like this place but also that the service seems to be the consistent negative on it. I'd try it again for sure, but honestly, between the water glass/nose wiping and lack of appropriate staffing - that's usually my trifecta to avoid...so it would be a last choice for me.

Servers were coming and going but never acknowledged our table. Eventually, I had to get up and place our order at the bar. The bartender was the only positive - she was very friendly and helpful. While waiting for our food, I noticed the table next to us receive their food. The woman was served the wrong order-a burger that might have been mine- and after she touched it, I watched the server place that same burger back on the service table. Shortly after, a food runner picked it up and brought it to our table, which I immediately returned. Other than running food, no server ever checked on us or took responsibility for our table. The lack of service combined with the food-handling issue was extremely concerning and unacceptable. Unfortunately, this experience makes it hard to recommend or return to this restaurant.

Speaking of drinks, it was happy hour, so I enjoyed a top shelf vodka drink for only $4! It was the same price for pints of beer! There was a large afterwork crowd when I was there... and only one bartender... but she was able to keep up with demand and kept the drinks flowing! Inside it was pretty spacious and they could have fit a few more tables, but I imagine in the evenings it allows for more people to stand and walk around. I was there with some coworkers, but it was nice to see that they had a couple dart boards. Next time I will play some darts! ****FOUR STARS****

We had a reservation so we were seated promptly at a large table in its own little alcove in the back. While the place was busy, we could chat comfortably with one another and felt adequately separate from other tables. The menu has a bit of everything, so everyone should be able to find something they like on it. We started with cocktails, mozzarella sticks, and pretzel bites. The cocktails were good but I could've used less sweetness in mine. The mozzarella sticks and pretzels bites were standard, which means they were great as usual. For a group of 5 of us, an order of each was enough to hold us over until the main meal. I personally got the fish sandwich for my dinner with fries. The fish was great and large enough that it hung over the sides of the bun. My only complaint about the sandwich was the lack of tartar sauce on it. The cook must have just added the smallest dash, as the only sign it was there was a little spot of discoloration on the bun. The fish was good but the sandwich would have been better with more moisture from that tartar. The fries it came with were standard shoe string fries. Nothing special but hit the spot all the same. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals as well and we left comfortably full with no leftovers. Overall the meal came at a good pace, the atmosphere was nice, and the prices were reasonably. If in town again we would come back here.

So, how this place works is that they run your card and they give it back to you but you also get this other card so you can run the taps. This place is absolutely great to try out brand new drinks that you've never tried before. There's at least 20 drinks to choose from give or take. They had a lot of hard cider, meads, hard seltzers and a variety of other drinks. They had other drinks as well up front even some non-alcoholic ones for those that really didn't plan on drinking. They got a great array of games here especially all the pinball! I didn't play any of the games unfortunately but I did look around to see what was featured. I would have been really excited if Speed Demon was featured. Staff here was absolutely friendly, they get a great mix of locals here. Restrooms here were also pretty clean too! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. This place has great events as well!
