Creative pub grub & tap beers served in hip, pooch-themed digs with a dog-friendly patio. Open late.
"Fat Dog doesn’t have the best food in North Hollywood, but it’s still good, and the entire neighborhood tends to end up here on a nightly basis. The massive space in the heart of the Arts District has a huge craft beer list, a bar food menu that every person in your group will like (the Swedish meatballs are a must-order), and a weekday Happy Hour from 3pm-7pm. This is the kind of place you can go to with coworkers, castmates, or by yourself for a quick bite after work and walk out happy. It’s also dog-friendly." - Brant Cox
"When: Mon, 4-6pm, Tues-Fri, 3-6pm The Deal: $6 Well Drinks; $7 Wine; $14 Beer Flights We feel confident saying everyone in your group will like The Fat Dog. This massive outdoor space in the heart of the North Hollywood Arts District has a huge craft beer list, a bar food menu with Swedish meatballs, and a dog-friendly patio that fills up around 5pm. If you’re looking for a place you can go with coworkers, castmates, or by yourself for a buffalo chicken wrap after work, The Fat Dog works especially well." - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox
"With its dog theme and large patio, it is no surprise that this gastropub is a favorite among dog owners. As dog owners themselves, the Fat Dog’s founders personally know how to cater to diners and their furry friends, serving up cheese boards, fish and chips, homemade pasta, and short rib French dip, along with chill vibes." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
"Somewhat hidden on the ground floor of a mixed-user on Fairfax, it’s easy to forget that The Fat Dog even exists. But you shouldn’t. Because with free underground parking, a great Happy Hour (weeknights from 4pm-7pm) and a solid menu full of things you’ll want to eat after a long day, Fat Dog is your ultimate after-work hang out spot." - Brant Cox
"You and the other former assistants from your first job in LA still have a group text to keep track of your terrible old bosses. And to also occasionally plan random nights where you all meet up and have too much beer together. The next time it’s one of those nights, go to the Fat Dog. Even though they have the same studio worker crowd as other North Hollywood and Studio City spots, there are a lot fewer people talking about work than you usually get. Take advantage of the good cocktail and beer lists, and order some potato skins for the table while you talk about whose old boss finally got fired." - brant cox, brett keating
