Fred's Dog House

It was empty when we arrived at 615 but packed when we left at 8. The cocktails we tried were delicious and the bartender was friendly. The happy hour prices are great and it’s nice to have vegan dogs!

Toppings on the hot dogs were fresh. Great service. I wish they had real hot dogs. The vegan ones had a weird flavor.

Great night of live Blues music, cozy spot with good vibes, even got in a dance and totally recommend the Bahn Mi hot dog. Doc French & Arthur Nelson on the stage. ❤️

My buddy and I went here Sat April 26th for the first and perhaps for the last time. We generally had a good time with the music and food, but the serving staff was just rude. And I don’t mean that they said something and I took it the wrong way. The muscular man behind the bar with a bald head with a height of 5”7, just chewed us out. When we asked him what was in the hot dogs, which are vegan, he told us they were vegan and walked away. A minute later when we asked him what was inside once more, he came back with a heavy attitude. With a sharpness in his voice he loudly said (wish this was made up) that he did. not. care. His treatment of us in this way continued for the rest of the evening. Attitude alone, or those words spoken without attitude would have been unpleasant but stomacheable, but the combined tone and words spoken made the rest of our evening in the establishment and beyond, fairy uncomfortable. When we mentioned this to the single female bartender on staff (short hair), she offered that, were it any consolation to us, staff misconduct against customers was probably reflective of maltreatment by the owners against them. Strange and in appropriate response. Would be happy to go back once I can be sure the staff treats its customers with respect.

Is this…….the best bar I’ve ever been to but no one’s heard of?! Maybe I live under the a rock but I had no idea about this place until recently and live 2 blocks away. Open air, hot dogs, and life music in a vibey dive bar. I’m obsessed. Yes the hot dogs are vegan but you can’t tell so don’t be a brat. OBSESSED with this place. Ethan the manager is great too. Will be back as much as I can that’s for sure. Oh also basically all the people here were hot

What a disappoint this spot is. Atmosphere is awesome, the drinks taste like I’m back in college. This place is so confusing. The hotdogs are all vegan, which is a choice given the name. Overall I wanted to like this place, but I will not be back.

Almost didn’t want to share this place! It’s pretty new and they serve plant based hot dogs. They were so tasty and I ordered the bahn mi one and also the cheese dog and filled me up pretty well! The bartender Manta is so kind! He let me and my friend charge our phones for a bit and made some conversation with us before the bar got busy! The music is also amazing! I didn’t realize how much I love listening to live blues. Didn’t catch the name of the musician but he was multi tasking several instruments. I LOVE the vintage feeling of the place it has so much charm to it! I would recommend putting a hook in the bathroom for purses because I couldn’t find one and almost dropped my bag in the toilet lol! Also same with the bar area if sitting there I would like a hook for my bag :) Please keep this place VEGAN and I’ll come here every day! It’s so hard to find nice bars with only vegan options! We don’t want things to cross contaminate. If people want regular hot dogs with beef they should go to the hot dog stands in NYC. Please keep this place special and vegan 💖💖

Stopped in on whim and really enjoyed the music. Drinks were average, nothing spectacular or over the top. Overall the service was pretty solid considering how busy it was. We would definitely come in again for another show!

Chill place to meet for drinks and a quick bite, or catch some live music. The menu is all animal-free hotdogs, all priced reasonably at $7 each. These are creative upgrades on the standard dead animal street food, and definitely worth a try. I got the Chicago hotdog and Banh Mi hotdog, both very tasty with the latter really ramping it up in the flavour department. Highly recommend the Banh Mi hotdog! Service was friendly and quick too. For those wondering why anyone who doesn't want to eat animals would want food made to resemble the animal version, we like the taste but not the violence!
