Their bourbon selection is some of the best bourbon in Erie County, hands down. Buffalo Trace, Bookers, Williet, Penelope, and so many others. They are easily worth a visit for bourbon alone. Their bartenders make great cocktails and are on the ball! I took an order of food to go and my check was waiting for me when the food was brought out and I missed the bartender bringing me the check because I was enamored in conversation about bourbon with the patrons and staff.
The food is next worldly. The tacos (Bark Mac and Salty Pup) are outstanding. The Bark Mac tacos were more food than I thought and cooked to perfection. The burger patty was done perfectly to enjoy in a taco and the sauce flavor as well as condiments were just right for a taco. The fish tacos are next world. My first bite made me mad because I felt like someone should have told me about them and I’m trying to help everyone else out by doing for you what no one did for me. There is no “fishy” taste and the sauce is just the right level of flavor to compliment the fish without overpowering it. There is a slight kick to it to add to the depth of flavor.
The steak sandwich was amazing! I’m a Philly guy so “cheesesteak” is hard for me to acknowledge outside of the Philly area, but the sandwich is great. There was a heaping portion of meat with a roll that could handle the job of containing the meat, cheese, peppers, and onions. It’s a unique sandwich that is filling and flavorful in a way that gives a nod to a Philly cheesesteak while acknowledging it isn’t one with a roast instead of a cut of prime rib.
The steak-frites are also a hit. The truffle fries are flavorful and come topped with cheese as well as the steak to add flavor and is well seasoned and tender. No knife needed for the steak as it comes cut but also is just that tender. I almost didn’t get any fries as the split dish at the time of ordering was almost too good to share with me.
The wings are really good! The sauces were delicious and in a town that prides itself on its wings, these are some good bar wings! They are meaty, well sauced wings that are worth it. The Erie wing scene is tough and Hair of the Dog proves to be able to add their own flare to the robust Erie wing scene.
When I stopped in they had Reuben rolls which were really good! Definitely something different, the rolls were like egg rolls and came with a Thousand Island dipping sauce. They were crispy and well textured. Absolutely great!
The service was exceptional! The bartender was great, the owners were talking to people and engaged the entire time. You can tell everyone there wants to be there and is happy to be there. It’s a welcomed addition to an area that has its typical spots and not much new happening otherwise. Between the great people visiting and the staff working there, this is a great place to be for the big game, or a chance to get out and be around good people. Regardless of your reason, it is a welcoming spot with great food and drinks!
But then…THEN…we had the waffle and ice cream dessert. Holy…cow…it was the most ridiculously good dessert I’ve had in, well, as long as I can remember. I will dream of that dessert.
The owner and the chef stopped by our table and spoke with us. Our waitress was fun and engaging. Honestly, this might be my new favorite restaurant in the West County. Definitely check it out. You will not regret it.
