Inventive hot dogs, taptails, and a bocce court


























"Adding more fuel to the fiery debate, this funky, Americana space labels its hot dogs as “Hot Dog Sandwiches.” Despite the late night, alcohol-fueled arguments this will no doubt cause, the inventive hot dogs, like the Seoul Dog (kimchi, sambal aioli, and scallions) and Tijuana Dog (cream cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeño, and cilantro), as well as Frito Pie, satisfy until 2:30 a.m. daily. For those who want to keep the party going, there’s always the “taptails” like a margarita or frosé." - Thom Hilton

"On Alberta Street, I find Donnie Vegas to be a reliable spot for a strong Seattle dog served with cream cheese, caramelized onion, and scallions; they use an all-beef dog or Field Roast for vegetarians, and like Zach's Shack it's open late (until about 2 a.m. or later), which is often when I'm craving one." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"I could go for a good Seattle dog at Donnie Vegas down the street." - Thom Hilton

"Donnie Vegas is a laid-back hot dog spot run by two Ned Ludd veterans, Chef Benjamin Artaiz and bartender Jeremy Wilson. While the chili is most popular when consumed on the chili cheese dog, you can order it as a side, as well. The beef chili includes a mix of pinto, kidney, and black beans, which give it some substance, while the cumin, coriander, and chipotle guarantee it doesn’t need the dog to be tasty. The chili is topped with sour cream, green onion, and jalapeno; the restaurant is open for takeout and delivery, with service on the patio as well."
