What players say

Great experience tonight, bartenders were very friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. The cheese fries were excellent and the beer was ice cold. Crowd was a mix of younger and older people which was refreshing at 54. Large selection of beers on tap and bottled options as well.

★★★★★ Barry, Sep 2025

My friend and I had a delightful experience at "The Smiling Dog" one evening. Upon entering, we were greeted by a clean and spacious atmosphere, setting the perfect stage for a relaxing night out.

★★★★★ Court, Mar 2024

A total surprise for me and my daughter. The atmosphere and music were great. The service was fast but the food was fantastic. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. A very wide selection of your favorite beer brews are always available. To top off this visit was the dessert...
