Had a fantastic time visiting this spot on Church Street. The atmosphere was welcoming and the drinks were poured perfectly. I really enjoyed the breakfast plate. The eggs were fluffy and paired well with the crispy bacon and fresh fruit. We also tried a few different beers and cocktails, all of which were served in great condition. I will definitely be back soon.
Incredible food, great vibes, and an amazing team! Hair of the Dog nails everything from the lovely atmosphere to the excellent food and service. But what truly sets them apart is their team. I’ve had the chance to get to know the staff, and it’s wonderful to see how genuinely happy everyone is to work there. They have an outstanding work environment and a great team dynamic. It’s no wonder the energy in the restaurant is always so positive! Highly recommended. Every single time I visit the culinary experience is great and the treatment from the staff is exceptional.
Evan was our server today, and made a world of a difference. As someone who is visiting, he made us feel welcome and at home. Evan had a great level of compassion when we had any concerns or questions. He sat us at this beautiful indoor/outdoor patio spot that made all of us the difference. I recommended this place especially due to Evan's service. Thank you for helping us have an amazing experience.
Great pub, about 10 years ago used to go there on Friday nights after work with friends. Have since moved out of town. Had the breakfast and was quite happy to see it available on the menu. Not so happy with the plate. No butter on the toast, you have to do that yourself and of course it doesn't melt into the bread. I ordered scrambled eggs and they runny whites in them. Potatoes were ok. My one friend was happy with her poached eggs and my other not so happy with her fried eggs, again runny whites, easy over when she wanted medium. Service was excellent. Standard pub atmosphere. The Two stars are strictly for the scrambled eggs only! Proper scrambled eggs are something every professional cook should know how to prepare.
