This place is awesome. Simply amazing beer selection and great prices. The burgers are outstanding and the root beer BBQ sauce is addictive. I also tried the Mission Hard Root Beer and it was rockin'.
This place is great, I swing by here with my friend who lives close to it, they have great food and an amazing beer selection, we come in to watch sports games too. Try a beer float!!!
I've never had a great experience with the staff here, but the food and the beer selection is so good. It's worth coming back. And don't forget your free fries with two beers during happy hour!!
Alexandra CortezJune 1, 2013Talk about a great night: sat at the "Jack Nicholson table", had an amazing BLT off the 405, and tried two new beers. Good food, good beer, a great atmosphere, adorable pics of dogs, and great music!
David ProfumoOctober 10, 2016Love the Big's Spicy Mac & Cheese with buffalo chicken and the ice cream sandwich. Great choice of porters.
Rosy CAugust 17, 2018Great staff and delicious food! If you’re ordering a patty for your dog, let them know not to add salt. The pork fries were the best item on the menu. Yummy!
Adriano LimOctober 17, 2013Super chill bar scene. It's small for sure but it's always a great time. Great food, service and atmosphere! Get a fried egg on ANY burger!!
Joel WatersAugust 25, 2013I used to live down the street and came in all the time for the burgers. Stopped by today and had the Cobb salad and it filled me up and tasted great. Seems the menu has expanded quite a bit too.
Best burgers in The Valley. Ever changing quality beers, and the ability to bring Man's Best Friend makes for the best experience!
Great beer selection. Old Rasputin and green flash always on tap
Arnie PanameñoJune 28, 2015Very good selection of craft and imports. Try the Abita Purple Haze it's deliciously refreshing.
The owners are so great! Bring a pic of your dog in a wooden frame and they'll add it to the inside wall!
AskMenFebruary 9, 2010There is finally a bar dedicated to valley commuters who want a place of their own to grab a drink before fighting 405 traffic. It also captures the essence of happy hour: good food and simple drinks.
Taste TerminalNovember 7, 2011Get the Chi Chi Burger: Wake up and smell the 1/3 lb. of beef with cheddar cheese, hash browns, applewood smoked bacon, a sunny-side up fried egg and buns drizzled in maple syrup. Good morning! Read more
Food & service are inconsistent, but burgers & fries are sometimes SO GOOD it's worth the risk. The Dickens and Chi Chi are great, specify crispy hashbrowns on the Chi Chi.
Without fail they will be out of the beer I want. Take the beer off the menu if you are out! It's become a running joke. Otherwise, good vibe, decent grub, and fair prices
Kelly GittlemanMarch 30, 2011The spa salad (add chicken and feta) is soooo good and I typically hate salads. Great beer selection, good music, and the dog pics everywhere are a great touch.
Leslie PhelpsNovember 4, 2013The BLT sandwich is delicious and I highly suggest ordering it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
JordanPaigeJuly 7, 2013Great place but can be a little pricey and low key compared to several businesses in the same vicinity
Shabby KhaliliNovember 10, 2014Curieux on tap & Gulden Draak import beer is a must have! + wings are fire!!!
They always have Old Rasputin on tap--you'd be crazy not to get it every time (I do)!
- Picturehealing.comJanuary 26, 2012The garlic fries are SO good! Havent had a bad burher yet either! The Chi Chi is the fav so far!
David ZasloffAugust 22, 2011Great blue burger. Beer was fantastic as well....the company was even better. Laughed and told stories....love old friends.
Jacqueline L.July 16, 2013For a place that calls itself a 'Beer Tavern', their tap list is sure underwhelming: Only eight selections, all of which are relatively common.
Summit Burger with a Scrimshaw Pilsner for a smooth, delicious ride. Substitute a Gulden Draak for the pilsner if you want more kick.
Excellent beer selection both on tap and bottle. Burgers are top-notch! Don't forget to write something on the wall before u leave, ask your waitress for chalk
Rob SimonOctober 26, 2013Awesome rotating handle selection, get on their email list for special keg nights, etc.
Jennifer DuncanAugust 7, 2010I love this place! Great atmosphere! Beers on tap fantastic and food is delicious. You can have your pup on the patio too!
- WeileycoyoteApril 2, 2010Must try: Old Rasputin 12 yr Anniversary stout, aged in oak bourbon barrels or Harvieston Old Engine Oil (Old Scotish Home Brew)
Go to Blue Dog and eat the Hot Italian Model with fries and get an Ice cream sandwich and don't leave a thing on the plate!
Adam NixonAugust 7, 2010Spiciest Mac and cheese I've ever had, but I can't stop eating it! Cool little place. I've been here several times and I always enjoy it.
