Blue Dog Pub - Pubs Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

Great place to grab a bite and relax. Blue Dog Pub / CJ's Bar. We had Buffolo & BBq Wings, Calamari, roast beef, burger, burger melt and the crispy waffle fries. All perfectly cooked and seasoned. Staff was energetic and personable . Loved the friendly, family atmosphere. While we were there every person that came in was greeted with a smile and treated like they were special. Our Server, Carolyn Or Caroline was the best and the bar back, forgive me, i cannot remember her name was great and always had an eye out if we needed anything. If you want a family run business that is clean, comfortable, has good food & drink, and very reasonable prices check this out. Thank you CJ and Michele & Family read more

Great food and excellent service. We went with a large group and everything went well. They made are celebration dinner go as planned. Serving great food, excellent prices, and accommodating a large family. Everything was great. It's why we go there with family on special occasions. read more

Pub food is good. I have dad hamburgers, fish and chips, and salads, all good. Service can be spotty. Lots of tv on the wall. A pool table in the back. read more

Went here while the family was in town with a large party. We were able to pull a few tables together and make plenty of room. The place is pretty large but it's mostly bar seating from what I could see. Also the outside is hard to figure out. You don't know where the entrance is. Twisted tea on tap. We got a bunch of appetizers. The cheesesteak egg rolls and the buffalo chicken egg rolls were a little lackluster. However the mozzarella sticks and bruschetta were excellent. The entrees were awesome. I got the special BBQ chicken cheesesteak. Everyone really liked their food. I didn't try any one's cuz I was full. Our waitress was great. We were confusing, confused and loud. With a full bar to tend to that's not easy. I know I said it before but tip well. It's hard to put up with hungry, drunk human beings. read more

It's a bar so Amigo Dan was with me. This was a very good stop. They have grilled cheese and cheesesteak on the menu. I asked for grilled cheesesteak, the bartender said no problem but I have to charge you an extra $3. I said, no problem. He asked if we wanted tomato or bacon. We said yes to bacon. This was a very tasty grilled cheesesteak. This would score very high as a grilled cheese with steak. As a grilled cheese cheesesteak, I would have liked more cheese and meat but it was still good. The bacon added a nice flavor. The chef was working on a BarBQue - Bourbon sauce. He gave us a sample. It starts as a nice BBQ sauce and then the Bourbon smacks you in the face. I like Bourbon smacking me in the face! That's going to be an amazing sandwich! read more

We took our food and left. We weren't allowed to use the pool table unless we beat the man currently using it. ​

First time ever and last. Roast beef terrible, au jus terrible, fries tasteless, onion soup had foul taste like bad liquor, taco salad no dressing just lettuce n fixins???? Flatbread mushroom appetizers had horrific odor...2stars bc staff very nice shame! read more

I love the nachos. They are so big that you need to share with 3 or 4 people. The staff is very friendly. There are booths as well as a bar. It's not very loud so if you want to have a conversation you still can. There is a large IPA take out section. They have one pool table with specials Sunday and Wednesday. Trivia night on Tuesday is so much fun. read more

Blue Dog Pub - Sitting area - Pubs Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

We went there last night for my Birthday. they were so rude and lost a great tip. we will never go back. waitress sucked took over half an hour to get a drink read more

Solid local dive bar in the middle of a strip mall. Food is not great, but the service is fun and the drinks were solid. Steady crowd coming and going, pool table in the back. Good energy... crowd gets younger as the night progresses. read more

Somehow the blue dog found a way to put a neigborhood bar in a strip mall. Good spot to watch a game. If you look hard enough you can see the energy the two main guys have put in to keep that place together. Rumor has it that you might find a good pool game but cant say I've seen it. Ask Kevin for more Flyers hockey he loves it. There is a super positive young bartender that you might see again. Life is sweet. Friendly regulars and great bartenders. Service is better here but neither are bad. Beer list is the best around. You can tell where the passion lies, it's certainly not in repairs. A great spot to stop. Relaxed management actually benefits this place. They do play strange music sometimes, as if they want people to leave. I liked the random Pink Panther theme. There are owners more deserving your patronage, however there aren't better employees that need your business. read more

A late evening visit with a big group of friends . Server was helpful and accommodated us in a booth eventhough they already closed that section .decent selection of Beer's and spirits. I really liked spicy chk wings and chicken loaded Nachos. read more

I've given this place numerous tries over the years, and I'm sorry, the food blows. Screwed up my order again, not even close to what I ordered. Two stars for the martini. read more

Great beer selection. They have a late night food menu which is good. Also they have chimay grand reserve on tap. So I love it because this is one of the only places that sell chimay on tap. read more

Francesca and Samantha's bad reviews are based on Kevin doing his job following PLCB regulations by not serving someone who didn't have an ID on their person. Their group of friends were disrespectful and crude, and tried to justify a death in the family for their friend (who did not look of age) not having a valid form of ID on her. Kevin was just following the law. I was there last night when they cursed him out and repeatedly told him to "suck a d**k", and other very explicit comments I do not wish to mention. I was rather offended by their language. Please do not take their reviews into consideration when choosing a good bar in the Lansdale area. We love this place, and I wish people like this would stop writing bad reviews on here just because they're "butt hurt" over a situation in which they were wrong. read more

Great bartender/server, Nickie! Busy place and she never missed a beat! Excellent cheesesteak and wings! Beer selection was a nice surprise! Will definitely be stopping in more often in the future! read more

This review strictly for the young gentleman who is the bartender. He is the lowest of the low life and a scumbag. He thinks he is slick and will try to charge for drinks you didnt order. This is what he does, he will take cash from people who leave cash for their order and treat it like its his tip and then will go to charge you for all those drinks. I am glad I checked my receipt and noticed this. So i asked him about it and he mentioned that I thought i was covering for the drinks that other people ordered and that he has been busy so he "forgot". Guess what, i am calling my cc company and reporting this and you will not get paid for that tab you charged to my cc. Hope your boss reads this and fires you. read more

Rob the bartender is the best! Always have a great time at the Blue Dog pub!!!! Always a great time and atmosphere!!! I always seem to come back time after time does not matter what day of the week it is a great place to go for a cold drink and a hot meal with some great company!!! read more

Blue Dog Pub - Pubs Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

I haven't been here in about 4 years as whenever I pondered a visit I would think "mediocre/dive-y/shitty atmosphere" and then go somewhere else. Well Friday night I met a friend there who was already high from smokin' a doob and needed to munch down and chase with some beers. I'll have to admit that the Blue Dog has improved since years ago with a very good draft beer selection, and the basic junk food selections to satisfy your munchies. The wings and the burgers were winners. The chili was average. The potato chips, although I believe they were homemade or at least that type, were a little stale. The bartender was OK, but a lot of chatting with his local regulars had me occasionally calling across the bar for service. The atmosphere or should I say "lack of atmosphere" has not changed, those friggin' lights at the take-out beer section at one end of the bar are too bright carrying over to the rest of the place, makes it feel like you are in a store rather than a bar. Overall I will return when I am jonesing for some beers and wings. read more

I loves me some beer. And this place has an incredible selection. Everything from Yuengling to obscure German imports and they get extra kudos for carrying beer from my beloved Northwest. The food is spectacular and you get huge portions for the price. Definately try the Reuben or the Eggplant Parm Sandwich for lunch if you are in the area. read more

Food = Bad Atmosphere = Horrible Clientele = Really? Are you serious? Beer Selection = not bad. All though most of the good beers are the ones on the Shelf that no one drinks and all are dusty. read more

This strip mall bar has a nice home town friendly atmosphere. The beer menu is pretty good and they have a large take out beer store. For the 15 minutes we waited for a table I spent looking over the selection of beers. This is one of the few places you in the area you can buy single bottles/cans of beer. A great way to sample and try out new beers. I had a beer sampler platter that came with five beers, two of which I'd had before and the other three I'd never had. The food was decent, nothing to write home about, though worth the price. We will definitely go back at some point and wish the Blue Dog was closer to take advantage the beer store. read more

Let me make this easy for you 1. You live reasonably around the zip code 19446 2. It's wednesday night and you are looking for a decent place that houses the awesomest collection of beer possible, plus good music, great food And food. 3. You don't really care about the ambience, the tables and the temperature If 1,2, and 3 apply to you make sure you stop by blue dog at least once. They have everything for everyone and in all honestly a great place to try the most rarest of beers in Montgomery county read more

Bar food, dive bar crowd, and dive bar feel.....which is all okay ( just expect it). They have an expansive and ever changing list of beers which you'll be psyched about, but that's not my thing. The wings are some of the best I've had- hot, but manageable. I strongly recommend either the turkey and bacon sandwich on a pretzel roll or the portobello mushroom sandwich on a pretzel roll. Both good lunch choices. I've only been here mid-week for lunch, so I cannot speak to it at night or weekends. Lastly, TVs placed all round so you have a good view wherever you sit. read more

Decent bar in the area. Been here a few times, a good place to grab a quick bite. They have the typical bar menu, with a few extra items. Crab cakes, linguine and clams, just to name a few. I would recommend the burger or wings. We picked up wings for Super Bowl XLVIII... at least we had something to keep us entertained. Their wings are tasty and there's a good number of sauces, from original to Parmesan ranch. The other plus is their beer selection. Looking for a good seasonal or speciality beer? The perfect pumpkin beer? This is the place to go. Once you walk in the door, there are cases full of cold beers. Ask the waitress, they are both friendly and helpful. read more

Blue Dog Pub is a typical bar with bar food. The menu offers more food options than would a typical bar (steak and ravioli) but should stick to wings, fries, burgers, salads, and sandwiches. I imagine most consumers go for those items anyway. I rolled in for lunch, because this place has been around for ages and often gets overlooked. I also recalled a day where they had stellar french fries and gravy. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and paid an additional $1.50 for fries over chips. I sat at the bar because the place was pretty crowded for a lunch time in a relatively distant place from most offices. Kudos to drawing a lunch crowd. Back to the food. The chicken sandwich was above average for a bar food chicken sandwich. There was bleu cheese that was creative. Of course bleu cheese is a Buffalo chicken sandwich goto, but the crumbles were perfect for the cheese I so often seek in a Buffalo chicken sandwich. The bleu cheese crumbles were abundant, but complimentary. Objectively, it was too much for what its purpose was, but I appreciated it personally. The chicken was real chicken. It wasn't a prepackaged, frozen wasteland piece of meat. It at least appeared, tasted and felt like a real chicken breast battered and fried for me to enjoy. It demanded respect beyond a cheap ploy to garner money to offset beer special prices. Along side the chicken sandwich was a mountain of fries. Not just any fries. Steak fries. Usually about 5-10 are equal to a serving of regular fries. However, I got 15-20 steak fries. That's like a mountain of fries! The downside to Blue Dog: after so many years it still seems like Blue Dog is trying to find its image. The menu shows it's trying to be upscale and build a reputation for its food, but it is really a bar with great bar food: a market looking to be broken open in the North Penn community. read more

We've been to the Blue Dog a few times, to both locations (in Chalfont and Lansdale) but as Lansdale had a beer we really wanted to try, we hit them up for some dinner. The crowd was quite light, with several booths open so we made our way to one in the center of the restaurant and proceeded to take in the menus. The Blue Dog has a decent amount of pub food, but it's rather limited in variety. You won't find juicy burgers or the like on here -- the only burger I saw was on a pretzel roll. Also, no cheesesteaks (a Philly staple!!). The beer menu is pretty deceiving as well. You are handed this large menu with what looks to be about 40 craft beers on it and you think "SCORE" until you get to the point after the 11th beer and it says "Coming Soon..." *womp womp* and then there are arrows of ones coming soon pointing upwards. The food was ok. Not that it was bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about. The French onion soup is perhaps the best I've ever had in awhile, but the sandwiches (I had the chicken italiano and he had the filet Panini) were loaded and soggy. There was no way you could eat it as a sandwich. I had multiple versions of fries on my plate, too (steak, regular, small .. very odd and inconsistent). I do have to say that our server was top notch and very helpful and attentive. The dessert we had (homemade chocolate peanut butter pie) was probably the highlight of the evening. Very good but chunky (has nuts for those who aren't a fan). I believe the pub has a bunch of events throughout the week - we happened on Trivia night. I guess the locals enjoy it, I've been to better (Steppy's in E. Norriton on Wed.nights). The MC was a little too creepy for my taste and the questions weren't really trivia relatable - just stupid knowledge. As for the take-out area, they have a lot of decent beers, many locals that are bottled. If you drink those in-house, it's a $2.50 upcharge per bottle. You can also try Capone's in E. Norriton for some really great brews as well and I don't believe they have an upcharge for drinking in the restaurant. read more

summary ... awesome draft beer selection, okay food and atmosphere (they have good takeout beer too) We frequent Blue Dog Pub for happy hour but only for their draft beer. They have a nice rotation of maybe 15-20 craft brewed draft ales and their bar-staff are knowledgeable about them (beats the shit out of "ummm, I don't know, it's hoppy or something?" which we get at Bones Grill nearby). The beers are reasonably priced too, which is great when you're getting a 9% alcohol beer. The food, on the other hand, has always been so-so bar food. A few times I've tried eating dinner here and regretted the decision. Now the only food we order is the occasional plate of fried calamari or nachos. Similarly, the atmosphere is pretty depressing. It's like halfway between a dive bar (darts and pool) and sports bar (crapload of TVs), but never seems to satisfy my craving for either type of bar. A nice bonus is that by the entrance, they have a takeout beer selection, which helps a lot thanks to PA's stupid as hell alcohol laws. They aren't the cheapest, but they have a lot of craft beers that one wouldn't ordinarily find at their corner gas station in other states. The reason we keep coming back is that this is the best option in the area. Other bars that have better atmosphere and food have terrible beer selection. When you're going to a pub, you better at least get the beer right. Blue Dog Pub does. read more

Nice little bar to grab some wings and beer,food is good and the staff are always friendly.I usually just get the Hot wings which are probably the best in the area.its a "corner bar" so don't expect anything fancy.Perfect spot to meet friends and wear whatever you want and not be judged. read more

The beer selection and close proximity to my house kept drawing me back, but after almost digesting a metal wire that was in my soup I am writing this place off as far as food is concerned. The food is terrible and now even potentially dangerous. You can go to watch a game and knock a few back, but do yourself a favor and go on a full stomach! read more

Very good draft and bottled beer selection; good menu with varied specials, dessert, and decent coffee; and friendly, efficient service. I'm a fan. The Blue Dog Cafe is a little out of the way for me, but it's worth the occasional trek to Lansdale due to its above average menu and excellent beer selection (that is reasonably priced). I've had everything from burgers to salads to entrees, and I've always been satisfied with the food... much better than the standard pub fare. The draft list generally has at least five high-quality craft brews, and the bottle selection (for take-out purposes) is awesome. I've bought singles by Nøgne Ø, Mikkeller, Haandbryggeriet, and Fantome... and I once found a bottle of Founder's KBS here; the selection is on par with Philly's Foodery, but the prices are about 40% cheaper. For the bottled beer alone, this place is worth the trip, but stick around for a meal and desssert; you won't be disappointed. read more

Wings here were so good! I got "hot" and boy are they hot! My mouth was on FIRE! But it hurt so good. The sauce was full of so much flavor. I do really appreciate a place that actually has unique and homemade sauce for their wings. Overall, this place was smaller than I thought it was gonna be, but its also not terribly busy which is nice. We got our food and drinks pretty quickly and our waitress was attentive. read more

I do not recommend this place for lunch or dinner. It is probably just good for the drinks. The food is terrible. Their soup of the day was a fish soup and it was thick and you can only taste cinnamon. No fish! The chicken quesadilla is plain..under seasoned. I will not be back at this place. Food is horrible. read more

It's a solid 3 stars. A-OK. There's nothing at all special about it. Except the fact that this is Landsdale, Pennsylvania- it's a bar, it has food, people, and it's not like there's a ton of places to go. Came here for a drink and lunch with my brother and mom to catch up. I had a soup and a vegetable sandwich with some cheap reisling. Both my brother and mom polished off their food so it must've been good, as we're not the type to stuff ourselves. I don't know the prices, my mom was nice enough to pick up the tab for her cubs. Service was sort of slow... but it was pretty empty and I think she was just relaxing. As a former waitress, I've had those afternoons so I'm not holding it against the establishment. It also looked like they had a full week of events each night. That's sort of cool. I'm just not around town but if I was, I'd probably check it out. read more

We came here last night for some beer and bar food and really enjoyed it. As a vegan, I really appreciate that they have veg friendly options on their menu. I hope this doesn't go away! We really enjoyed the southwestern taco bowl, ALT, sweet potato fries and Brussels sprouts (which were bangin'!) We got a flight of beer for $10 and the Free Will brew. The prices are on the higher end of what I'd expect (expect maybe a dollar or two cheaper). However, I was really happy with my experience here and will be back! read more

Bottom line first: Great selection of beers, food hit or miss. My wife and I ate here last night. At each table is a beer menu that not only lists the beers currently available, but also the ones that are on deck, ready to fill in when a current one runs out. The list is long, varied, and impressive. I tried three different beers and each one was pretty darn good. I go the blackened tuna for my starter and the ribs for my dinner. The blackened tuna was very nice. The tuna itself was not the highest quality, but I did not expect it to be. It actually was better than I expected a little pub to have. The ribs came recommended by our waitress. I am sure that many people love them, but they were very overcooked. The meat did not stay on the bone at all and the meat had no real form. The burgers at the table next to ours made me jealous. I know what to get next time. And I do think that there will be a next time. There are too many beers there calling my name. read more

I go here often with my boyfriend & our friends who live up the street from Blue Dog. We often go to get some good beer to go or whatever monthly beer event they offer. The selection of beers is great, however some are over-priced. The food at Blue Dog is ehh. It's inconsistent; some days it's good, & some days it's bad. The same goes for the service. If you're planning on getting a table during a beer event, FORGET about it! You'll be waiting all night if you can tolerate staying there. You either get in early or plan to find somewhere else to eat that night. They do offer a lot of specials, most of which don't personally interest me (not looking to grab 40s to watch a phils game you know?). It's pretty dead during the week if there is nothing going on, so if you're just looking to enjoy an evening sitting by the bar, having a nice beer and watching a game, tolerating regular pub food, this would be the ideal place. read more
