Cleveland's Best Bars: Happy Dog

Happy Dog is a safe space for experimentation — and not just on the stage. With a menu of fully customizable franks, the sky is the limit when it comes to living your most-twisted, surreal hot dog fantasies. With PBR in one hand and pencil in the other, punk rock patrons fill in bubbles like a Scantron to the best test ever, selecting a pile of Fruit Loops, applewood-smoked bacon, Cleveland Kitchen Kimchi, SpaghettiOs, mac and cheese and 45 other toppings to garnish a Blue Ribbon Meats all-beef dog or a Field Roast artisan vegan dog. 

Try This: A Field Roast artisan vegan dog topped with Cleveland sauerkraut, vegan chili, caramelized onions and yellow mustard ($7). 5801 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, 216-651-9474, happydogcleveland.com
