"Blue Dog is a block from the 405 in Sherman Oaks, but it feels more like a hometown bar somewhere in rural Maine. There are old beer taps and Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, framed photos of regulars’ dogs, and TVs in every direction. The Valley mainstay has a serious beer list that features several high ABV triple ales, so get whatever looks good to go with one of the burgers. Our favorite of the bunch is the “Blue Dog” with bacon with mushrooms and onions—but really, anything with their homemade root beer BBQ sauce deserves your attention. Outside, there’s a big, shaded front patio with even more TVs and exciting dog watching." - brant cox, sylvio martins
