About this venue
Tucked just a block away from the main Church Street strip, Hair of the Dog Pub & Restaurant is the ultimate cozy neighborhood sanctuary. Operating since 1999, this beloved gastro-pub masterfully swaps out standard, loud club-remix energy for an intimate, laid-back vibe. The interior features warm wood paneling, velvet booth seating, and a classic vintage pub aesthetic that feels instantly like home.

Saturdays and Sundays are the absolute elite highlight for their legendary, comforting weekend brunches. If you want a buzzing but relaxed evening vibe, Friday nights offer a great post-work neighborhood social crowd.
