We stopped in because the place is across the street from the nail salon. I'm so glad we did. When you walk in you immediately feel welcomed kinda like visiting an old friend. The food is absolutely delicious I had the clubhouse the grilled chicken breats gives it that extra touch definitely one of my favorites. We have been back several times since. They also have a wing special on Wednesday and Sunday that can't be beat. Clean unassuming neighborhood gem.

A couple of days ago, we had the pleasure of visiting a remarkable bar and restaurant in our neighborhood. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the inviting atmosphere and attentive service. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring we felt well taken care of. The food was exceptional, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and delicious. It was truly a memorable dining experience, and we look forward to returning soon.

Please check this place out. Great inside. Not the most unique drink selection but it gets the job done. The food really surprised me with how awesome it all was. Fantastic buger and wings.

It's great to have a bar like this near my house. The service is good, and on Wednesdays and Sundays, they offer half-priced wings (if I'm not mistaken). The beer starts at $7. I try to visit every Sunday night after work, and it's always a pleasant experience.

This is such a lovely neighbourhood pub! The decor is charming, and the staff really tie this place together. They have really solid bar food, wings hit the spot!! The platter is an amazing deal with what you get - definitely recommend to share with 2+ people! Experience it if you’re curious, but this place hits the spot for watching games & if you’re craving pub food!

Service, food, and atmosphere was great. Unfortunately the beer on tap tasted funny. We each had a different type, we all thought it tasted off. Maybe their taps need to be cleaned more frequently? Ill go for a bottled beer next time.

Started coming here again afterave nearly 2 years away. It is a great little pub with nice staff and owner. Food is what you would expect from a non-chain restaurant but going to the Dog is more about having an evening out with friends, or watching game, or enjoying some live music. Used to go weekly before COVID to play darts but the boards are now gone. Although we moved away from the neighborhood we have started occasional GO Train trip in to visit. Still love this pub.

The food is ok. Small bar with some attitude from certain female staff. I ve had to change my review because of this. Sadly people who work in a place forget that the reason they have business is because of their professional treatment of their loyal customers. When you start to treat them abruptly or rudely because you don t like that they mentioned to you that one of your friends at the bar where behaving inappropriate to the city bylaws this is not good. Especially since the said customer is just protecting you the server from having to deal with bylaw officers and possible infractions.

Lovely patio in the back and good tasting, decently priced food. Clearly a go-to spot for locals, but if youre looking for a chill vibe, I definitely recommend. Wish their parking lot was bigger, because Im sure theyd attract far more customers than they already have. One downside is they didnt have any drinks menu.

Last minute decision to go to Working Dog Saloon after our pickup hockey game close by. We didn t have a reservation and Savannah and her team were able to accommodate our group of 9. We were at two different tables and they made space for us at a single table even though it was quite crowded on this particular Friday night. Good beer on tap and excellent wings. Try the cajun dry rub wings.
