Winter Bear and I came here for a quick catch-up. The bar had both indoor and outdoor seating. There was only one waitress and they had a few games on the TV. The bathrooms were clean and had a few stalls.We ordered a few drinks and nachos to share. They had tons of specials and the drinks were strong. The fountain sodas were a bit watery. The nachos were generously sized and tasted fresh.The waitress/bartender was friendly but she was mostly drinking with other patrons. We had to go order at the bar to get service.

I was very impressed with the music, and the energy of the bar! Went with a group of girls and had so much fun dancing and didn’t have a hard time getting a drink. Will definitely be back!

My son and I decided to visit this location where we would visit with coworkers in the past. They truly stick to their name by having dog shows on the big screen television. The decor is country style and spacious. Their onion rings are delicious.

Pretty standard college bar. I went on the weekend from 12-2 with some friends. No entry fee which is great and the line wait isnt long. Music is pretty good too. Nothing to complain about a decent place.

I am not a sports fan but I enjoy the atmosphere and energy of Hair of the Dog. The staff from the bartenders and barbacks to security are attentive and kind. The food is delicious and substantial and the drinks are on point. Thanks

This place was the place, I used to have lots of fun here, it is still great, but things changed, last time I was there it was good, but didnt have the same vibes, I dunno maybe Im just getting old. I may visit again soon. But, its a chill spot to hang out and meet people, or just chill and have a drink, listen to the music. I just wished they would also play all type of music. Who knows, people may like it... other than that, its still my go-to spot....when ever I do decide to visit the city.Aug 31st, I visited, and the Dj played a lot of good music...while, its wasnt all type of music, I did hear new ones. Play a little soca here and there. The laddies and guys would like it, introduce it little by little.....

I gave food a 4 cuz I didn’t eat here, I only got drinks on a Sunday at 8pm and the music was good, jumping from pop, to hip hop, r & b and every blue moon a Latin song. But all vibes. I love how they have specials pretty much all day. They also got a beer pong table which is cool if you want to actively do something / meet people. Def will come back if I ain’t got no plans or to pre game. Overall for the price of drinks and other near by bars, it’s worth a visit.

One of the, if not the best college bar in the city. Always a crowd, most people are pretty chill but here and there you’ll get a couple of entitled people that are disrespectful to everyone whether they’re other people trying to party or bartenders.

What a bar. I stumbled upon this bar (turns club) after hearing LEV was the place to be on a weekend, and this place didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere, service and music (bangers), gave me & my brother a class weekend.*To the female bartender at the back left with a cap/tattoos, thank you for the recs & service, we had a blast and will definitely be back!

I’ve been to this bar a few times and it’s great. However, when I went with my friend last night, he got denied entry due to the fact that he’s from the UK and his identification was apparently “fake”. He then showed his passport which was also apparently “fake”. The guy looks over 21 any day of the week and felt obviously embarrassed when he had two identification that can’t easily be faked. Just a bit shocked. Otherwise an amazing bar just trashy bouncers.

Welcome to an AMAZING Football bar in Manhattan, with non-Manhattan prices! Great crowd for Monday night NFL (a lot of jerseys, people really into the game) - and awesome deals. Domestic pitchers were $12, domestic pints were $5, etc. Food specials are awesome as well - and highly recommend the nachos.While were on the subject of nachos - Ive been hurt by this menu item before, as Im sure many good readers of this review can relate. One orders the dish, only to find someone dumped half a bag of Tostitos on a plate, effortlessly tossed a thin layer of cheese over the pile - maybe some chicken, beans, tomato, etc. Once youre done the top row, youre left with dry, salty chips - and nothing else. I want to give my sincere THANKS to Hair of the Dog for renewing my faith in nachos. The plate in the picture had the weight of a decent kettlebell (counts as a workout), and it was ALL toppings. Layered!!! L-A-Y-E-R-E-D!!!No sound on the TVs, which is totally fine because all of the late 90s - early 00s pop-punk playing more than makes up for it. The beer pong table is also a great touch. Stanton St. has a ton of great little spots, and Hair of the Dog goes under the must visit column.Celebrate some touchdowns while crushing cheap drinks, eating delicious pub food, and singing Ocean Avenue at the top of your lungs. This place rules.

I’m a frequent customer and I loved this place but I had a bad experience last time, I can always enter with my ID issued in my country of origin, and this person in the yellow hat did not even see my ID and my friends ID, not even he saw our faces, just by hearing our voices he said, that ID is not valid, I know it is false, please leave.Review the customer service a bit, I understand that perhaps the policies will change but there are other ways of saying things, with RESPECT.

Big Space with lots of T.V.s. The prices on drinks are reasonable. I didnt get around to trying the food but maybe next time. The music is good and they also have very good happy hour specials. On the Saturday that I was there it was a full house but it didnt feel crowded because it is so spacious. Ill have to return for their happy hour and to try their food.

Review №27

This place used to be fun before they started letting their weirdo security team go on full power trips and come up with random “enforced dress codes” for certain people but other can come in wearing the exact same thing? Literally so many other places in the lower east with better music and FAR less weird and unwelcoming security which is a shame because the bartenders are cool for the most part, but the security is TRASH TRASH TRASH🗑️you can tell they live very measly powerless lives so the few hours they have on the job power tripping they will take FULL advantage, don’t go their with females friends too they’ll try to let only the girls in and turn away certain dudes highkey predatory behavior. Peep the other reviews as well saying similar things, save your time and your money! HairofthedogK

With one minute left in a game, they changed the channel without any notice. The outcome of the game changed in that one minute. The manager didn’t care and was dismissive. He actually was passive-aggressive and rude. I’d find another bar that appreciates your business.

Review №29

Horrifying and cruel experience!First of all, if you want to have a customer spend 6-7 minutes getting their bags checked, get a scanner instead of a guy making you uncomfortable by opening the tiniest of pockets of the bag and asking questions. Any which way, this isn’t even why I’m writing this review.The guy at the door checking IDs was literally at the top of his voice and misbehaving with my friend. All he wanted to convey was to make us stand on the left side of the entrance and he could’ve said so politely. He wouldn’t stop yelling making authoritative statements such as “ Am I not loud and clear enough, get out of the way”. Not only because this is hospitality industry which thrives on good customer service but even as a human being his behavior was disturbing.Needless to say we are never coming back but I’m genuinely concerned how have the owners employed such people?

Im not really a sports fan but they keep the volume just right. The sliders were excellent. They butter toasted the bun so perfectly that the crunch against the meat, cheese and grilled onion was perfection. Their onion rings are always good, the best.

Had a very bad experience at this place recently. Went with a group of three of my friends on a Saturday night. My two friends and I got in, but the bouncer for some reason decided that he wanted to reject my last friend. When we turned around to see where she was, the bouncer was physically pushing her and generally being rough with her (very unnecessary considering she was half his size and she wasnt being aggressive) while she was just trying to get our attention and yelling our names so that we didnt accidentally leave her behind. When I went to ask the bouncer what was going on, he said that she was too intoxicated to be let into the bar. We were confused because she is of legal drinking age and was not even drunk, but we left anyways. It seems like this bouncer wanted to exercise power, but it ruined our night and we wont be returning.

My girlfriend and I stopped in a few days ago to cool off and get a beer. We loved the atmosphere and the servers so much we stayed for three rounds and a round of shots we received from a group of friendly local patrons. But the best thing were the servers, especially a girl named Francesca! She was very nice and attentive to our needs! She even played some Madonna songs we suggested ! Over all one of the best places we visited in NYC! We liked it so much we came back again the next day! We will definitely come back next time we visit NYC! You guys Rock !!

Review №43

The disrespect is crazy. Imagine you’re dancing with your friend, you guys go to the bar and spend $30 on drinks for the two of you + another friend (plus tip). Almost immediately security comes and grabs the drinks out of your hands like a sippy cup from a toddler, tells you “management wants you to leave” and escorts you out.These would have been only your second round of drinks, you have no idea what’s going on and you’re literally just two girls dressed cute, out to dance and buy drinks.Security walks you out, makes you stand outside and gives you reasons like “you’re too drunk” and “well they didn’t tell me why you have to leave”,”. Then they take your credit card two separate times while you stand there feeling stupid, waiting so they can void the charges of the 3 drinks they just robbed you of.When I tell you these men got in literal huddles multiple times coming up with random bs to say to us. There was no real reason and no valid explanation. Just disrespect and wasting peoples time and money.Security clown comes back and says “bartender doesn’t remember serving you”. They end the ‘ruining our night’ special with a generous “you can dispute the credit card charge”. Bro what. You all look foolish, you targeted and degraded respectful, paying customers enjoying their night out, and wasted our damn time. I’ve never in my life been treated like that at a bar. And I would take full ownership if it was anything I did. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

Review №44

My husband and I stopped by here the other evening to watch a little March Madness. The bar itself is fine, noisy, nothing to write home about—but he and I both watched in amazement as the bouncer (heavyset bearded guy) flat out harassed a group of younger women outside. As a woman I felt really uncomfortable watching this interaction, which seemed sexual in nature and really intended to humiliate them. We left shortly after and I can say I’ll never go there again—and if any of the women who were part of this group bring a claim against the bar for allowing this guy to work for them I’ll be happy to be a witness for them.

Awesome bar to hit up to watch the NFL on Sunday. Great food and half off beer for the entire day. You literally cant beat that. I order buffalo chicken sliders with truffle fries. Decent size portions and the service was fast. It was busy and there was music playing in the background but overall and very good experience. I would definitely recommend a stop next time Im in the NYC.

Excellent place for just a out anything. Great music...great aura. Great staff...Rick the bartender and Sophia the waitress are friendly...great personalities and make you feel like your friends not customers. I reccomend this establishment to anyone looking for a laid back and unpretentious change from the stigma that is Manhattan. The drink specials are awesome...even for the penny counters who trying to stay afloat but at the same time not losing their social life. The food is delicious...a stuffed burger and some onion rings are simply yo drool for. I cant say enough about The Dog try it yourself and you will understand.

This place is racist. My boyfriend was trying to get into this COLLEGE BAR a couple nights ago and they denied him because he was wearing “distressed jeans”, but all of the white men behind him were literally wearing shorts. The only reason they denied him was because he’s black. Do not recommend.

It really depends what day of the week you go here, and what season. Its always pretty popular on a Thurs/Fri/Sat. Happy hour specials are great! Typical bar food is good too.

Came on a Monday, it was nice. The day after was a disaster.....There was a girl bartender. She didnt feel like serving us. I asked about recommended local beer and she just served me with apple cider! She decided to close our bill without even asking us and for the grand finale - SHE WAS PUTTING HER MUDDY FEET ON THE ICE SERVED TO THE CUSTOMERS! So many bars around, skip this one. Really disappointing.

Great place to meet with a few friends, especially if its before the evening bar rush. The drink specials here are crazy. No really, it makes no sense that the drinks can be so cheap... until you see how many people show up to buy them. It tends to get louder as the evening goes on, but this is a great place to start your night. The onion rings are phenomenal, and you cant argue with a $3 draft thats better than Coors Light. Check out their menus to see the daily drink specials, and there may be an additional special or two if you are a Foursquare user.

We stopped for a quick afternoon cocktail and were lucky that it was happy hour. We started with a spiked seltzer and draft beer and then changed to espresso Martinis.

Plenty of seating and a bar food menu makes it an easy place to visit with friends.

Was here yesterday - guy at the bar was harassing me and my friends in front of the security guard. We repeatedly asked him to go away, after he touches my friend inappropriately, and he would not leave us alone. We then asked the security guard to kick him out because we felt unsafe and the security guard REFUSED…. So many things absolutely disgusting about this.

Be warned if youre visiting from out of state. Nothing is open till noon! Of course the name us out there, but it made me want to check it out.So glad we did bc it looks like it would be awesome at night. We were there right when they opened since we were waiting waiting to check in at our hotel around the corner. I feel horrible bc I forgot the waitresses name, but she was awesome!So much fun to talk to and tell her who we are and where from. She was telling us how different stars will come in and likes to hangout.It didnt take long for the place to start getting packed after it opened. We laughed bc the drinks anywhere we went were small to us. Were us to Texas sized portions and their drinks are the size our our shot glasses here. Lol and coke at every place is pepsi I swear!Great food, fun place, great staff! Felt very welcomed and accepted when most were giving me weird looks bc I wasnt dressed warm that day.Check it out for sure!

I opened a bar tab with my 2 friends and then went out for a smoke. After my smoke the manager didnt want to let me re-enter saying that no ripped jeans allowed. I explained to him that i had a bar tab open and to let me get my card. He said i would have to come back another time. So i was left on the street without my card and with my friends i side having a good time. I will never come back here again. Terrible customer service.

Decent bar with great drink specials. Not too many places to sit if you want to have a snack while you drink, but great for watching sporting events and hanging with friends.

You get a bit of everything here on the weekends. The music is great, bartenders are great, and its another unpretentious bar downtown. Definitely worth the trip.

Terrible place. Our friend got attacked by some losers while having lunch and the bouncers did nothing. All they were concerned about was their money. Will never return. Horrible experience do not recommend

This place gets so packed its almost impossible to reach the bar unless youre a really hot chick. The drinks are also a little pricey but the picklebacks are fun!

Extremely crowded and college like. Can be a fun night and they have a decent beer selection, but I dont recommend it for those looking for a chill place.

Im giving it 2 stars because Ive had a few really good times here with friends. Other than those times its like a prison. Its overly crowded and all the guys feel like they have to keep it real and try to start fights for nothing.

Review №119

If you have a service animal steer clear of this place. Arrived last night and was turned down because my service dog didn’t look like a service dog. I tried explaining multiple times my service dog’s purpose and the training they undertook and was still discriminated off the fact that i had a dog. In addition they disregarded my credibility. The security is rude, unprofessional and would not listen to my reasoning regardless of my explanation. Will not be getting my service again!

Typical frat college bar. Great for finding a hookup, but tends to be overcrowded. Drinks prices are great, but the music is your typical pop playlist.

Improved a lot. Great happy hour drink specials. No food specials like The Mayfly and now the hard rock cafe times square now has. Bar staff friendly and do a good job. Only thing is they scan your ID evenings and weekends that opens you up to malware etc.

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon, or tried to at least. The bar was so packed full of people that making it even 2 feet inside was near impossible. Not for me.... But if that is your cup of tea, then jump right on in!

Review №168

Security guard (John with locs) berated me for using the men’s bathroom. I will take responsibility for being with my two other friends but he proceed to hone in on me saying “if I can’t use the female’s bathroom, you’re not allowed to use ours” which is incredibly rude because he didn’t not know me or what is in between my legs. When I didn’t accept his apology, he kicked me out. John berated me, accused me of disrespecting him and embarrassed me in front of my friends. I was confused. I volunteered to leave on my own because he would not stop verbally harassing me. He proceeded to tell me he was yelling because of the volume but when I did not immediately accept his apology, he forced me to leave.I felt targeted and unsafe because there were two other people in the stall but I’m the only one he kicked out because I didn’t accept his apology. And I didn’t need to if he was being disrespectful from the beginning. If you look at the cameras, I didn’t even want to go in the men’s restroom but only went because my friends knew I had to. In all, this was a terrible experience and I’m not shocked to see the reviews saying the same thing regarding security.

Have been here 2 times with my girls and both times DJ Cheezy was spinning huge bops, loved the pop music, very sing-alongable and danceable. Tater tots are out-of-this-world delicious here. Ralph at the door was also really nice. Hope this place is around for a long time!

Last night, my group and I visited Hair of the Dog for some drinks and we were blown away by the amazing vibe of the place. The atmosphere was fantastic and it really added to the enjoyment of our night out. The staff were very friendly and accommodating which made the experience even better.We ordered the APA beer which were perfectly cold and refreshing, just the way we like them. We also had the opportunity to try out their nachos, which some of my group members really enjoyed. Although Im not a huge fan of bar food personally, I can say that they definitely hit the spot for those who did enjoy them.Overall, we spent around 4 hours at Hair of the Dog and it was an absolute blast. The vibe, service and drinks were all on point and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great sports bar to visit. We cant wait to come back
