With a name like The Bulldog , it ’ s no surprise that this brew-centric pub is beloved by both two and four-legged guests . The original Uptown location started slinging suds and bar grub in 1994 when four local beer fans decided that New Orleans needed a serious beer tavern . Today , the company boasts four locations in Mid-City , Uptown , Baton
Rouge and Jackson , Mississippi . Both New Orleans area spots have quaint , pet-friendly patios with ample seating and large screen TVs , so leashed puppers are welcome to party with your pack indoors and out . The casual , welcoming tavern boasts an impressive selection of roughly 50 import and craft brews on tap and about 100 bottled options . The Bulldog uses a combination of nitrogen and CO2 to pump their draft beer , which imparts a cleaner , smoother taste . Additionally , they offer frozen and room temperature pint glasses for your perfect suds sipping experience . Pair your brew with flavorful bar food such as Mahi Mahi tacos on flour tortillas with pico de gallo , lettuce and shredded cheese ; roasted pulled pork simmered in a sweet BBQ sauce , served dressed on a brioche bun ; or whisker-licking good chicken wings tossed in buffalo or BBQ sauce , served with celery sticks . r sniff out one of their juicy , half-pound , grilled burgers with your favorite fixings , served on a toasted brioche bun . Enjoy happy hour with your pup Monday through Friday from 11 a . m .– 7 p . m . with 50 ¢ -off pints , $ 1-off pitchers , $ 5 house wine and double drinks for the price of a single , or fetch a $ 10 double Absolute Bloody Mary every Sunday . And Fido won ’ t be left out , as the friendly staff will gladly treat your pooch to some dog goodies and a bowl of water .
