Caught a gig here last night, only my second time here in a decade. Parking is super easy.... right out the door or there's additional parking east of the building. A lot of room inside, good mix of regular height and hightop tables. I am appreciative that regular height ones were right in front of the stage! There are a few pool tables, noticed dart boards and there's some basketball shooting hoops game. The service was friendly. There is a wall in the bathroom hallway of framed dog pics. They had a lot of great Halloween decorations. This is a great venue to catch a gig!! I had a table right in front of the stage and after their last break I moved to the side closest to the stage at my table at one end of the stage as people kept standing there...blocking my view... ha In front of the middle of the stage is where most people gather to Stand to take in the show, a few dance, as there's no tables up front in that area, great thinking. Would definitely catch other gigs here and maybe try the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap I was eyeing up on the menu. Thanks Dog House for a comfortable environment to catch a local band!
Nice spacious venue, newly remodeled I'm told. They have great live music, & the sound guy keeps things sounding great. That's never taken for granted. We had some great food too!
One of the best bar and grills in the game locally. Amazing owner. Amazing staff. Wonderful atmosphere. From dart tournaments on Fridays to local bands and DJs on the weekends. Fantastic sports bar as well. Lots of seeing and great menu. Cannot recommend this place more.
I just have to share my experience at The Doghouse Bar & Grill! I visited back in November to watch The HYPE, and wow, what an amazing venue. It was hands down one of the best spots I’ve been to, and I can’t thank the staff enough for making it such a memorable time. I was in town celebrating my last week up north before heading off to the National American Miss nationals, and let me tell you, being there was a huge stress reliever during a time that’s normally pretty hectic for me. Nationals can be a lot to manage, and being at The Doghouse helped take my mind off the nerves and truly enjoy the moment. From the moment I walked in, the staff and everyone around made me feel so welcomed. There’s something about a place that has a warm, friendly atmosphere, and The Doghouse absolutely has that. It’s not just about the great food, drinks, and entertainment—it’s about the people too. They were all incredibly kind and made my experience that much better. It’s definitely a spot that holds a special place in my heart now! As Miss Wisconsin Covergirl, I’m thrilled to be back in April. I’m counting down the days, and the timing is perfect because, as many of you know, National American Miss State pageant is in June, so this will be the perfect way to relax and recharge before the next big step in my journey. I’m looking forward to making more memories at The Doghouse Bar & Grill and I can’t wait to visit again soon! If you haven’t been there yet, trust me, it’s a must! Thank you again to everyone at The Doghouse for making my time so special. You’ve earned a lifelong fan!
I've been to the Dog House several times typically to watch a live band. Always had an exceptional experience. The crowd was small for a Saturday night. But the band RIVAL5 was on FIRE!!!! The Dog House offers an extremely varied array of different entertainment throughout the month. I think I'm going to check out their Texas hold'em games on a Sunday evening next.
If your looking for a great place to go either for dinner, maybe a couple drinks, play some darts, pool, video games and or live music you need to stop the Doghouse! They have something going on almost every night of the week. Check out their website for what is happening. The staff are awesome, the food is excellent. I would highly recommend stopping by. This is a great place!
Came here with my grandma and my aunt and it was delicious! The dirty bourbon burger had a sweet and savory sauce and so much flavor! Everything was perfect! Love the huge variety of menu items!
My wife Cheryl and I, love this place. It's one of the best places in the Twin Cities to see live music. I dont get here that often but always enjoy it. Try the fish its amazing! I have sold many homes in the area over the years and people love all the bars and restaurants like the Dog House. It's a great place for an evening of live music.
We love 10, 000 Days and Mad Alice was amazing! I hope you keep the wallaye cheeks on the menu. They are SO good! Also a shout out to Joe for going the extra mile for us! He is awesome!! He really helped our group out and we so appreciate it. Also our server Nicole was great! Very attentive and so friendly! Qw really appreciated all the great service on such a busy night!
One of my favorite local live music venues! Nice sized stage with great lighting and sound. Staff is awesome, always friendly. Parking lot parking, can get crowded during busy live music nights but I've always found a parking spot. They'll check ID etc. right as you walk through the door if you're there for live music events. Pool tables, darts, etc. make for a great place "to hang." Food and drinks are good too!
