The service was fantastic, the food was okay. I'm from the New York area I've had a really good hot dog and theirs is okay. My husband ordered the BLT dog and I ordered the Mac & Cheese dog. It was EXTREMELY busy in there so I would probably make a reservation if you want to try it. read more

Yum yum yum yum yummmmm. Bubbledogs is one of those random spots of heaven tucked away on the tube stops you never think about. Never actually stopped at Goodge St until now... Check out the menu before you head over and perhaps make a reservation if it's a weekend night. I wouldn't recommend going with too large of a party, as it's rather difficult to fit in a big group. You can order champ by the glass or bottle (just give in and do a bottle ;)) and there's several different meat options depending on your dietary preferences. I loved the New Yorker (basically a Reuben on a hot dog), and my friends happily ordered the buffalo, BLT, and Mac daddy. We also got the spicy tator tots with garlic aioli - highly recommend. Overall such a fun place to eat with a neat combination of hot dogs and champagne! read more

Very chic, very delicious, very American at heart. We found this place steps away from our air B and B. I had the New Yorker and added jalapeños, my friend is a plain Jane and had the plain pork hot dog. We both loved our meals and the ambiance. If I lived here I would definitely be back! read more

I went here with a bunch of friends one evening after work to try a 'different' place. I really liked the concept. They had a bunch of different hot dogs with varied toppings. It's a fun experience that I would recommend and the food was yummy. Be sure to order some snacks/starter with the hot dogs if you're coming with a good appetite, as the dogs themselves won't be satisfactorily filling. The sweet potato fries were yummy! Service was great. Would I go again: Yes read more

Honestly, I do not know how anyone could give this place anything but five stars. If you are expecting more than hotdogs & champagne, then you missed the point. My boyfriend & I were on vacation in London and a friend recommended Bubbledogs to us. We were in our element. The hot dog topping options range from generic to daring, so there is something for everyone and I recommend something fun! The champagne list isn't extensive, but had just the right amount of options, in my opinion. The decor is very trendy and the overall atmosphere is awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant for a cheap, but fun experience. read more

3.5 stars Instead of the traditional pubs nearby we came here. Little did I know people have waited nearly an hour to get into this 30-person capacity bar. The concept wasn't so clear to me because I couldn't read the neon sign outside. "Bubbledogs." It's not as laid back or roomy as a pub, but we were able to have a drink, a bite (mandatory) and a fairly comfortably chat. Instead of the bubbles (aka Champagne) we had beer from the small 4 choice list. These were mostly local brews, like Pressure Drop. We did get some dogs, but it took a minute to understand the concept. My buffalo (pork) dog came loaded with the classic buffalo sauce: tangy, spicy. Added was blue cheese cubes and onion. Pretty tasty and not too salty. We shared the sweet potato fries. These seem to be a new introduction to London, yet you'll see see them in every self-respecting burger and gastro pub in Los Angeles. I Washed it down with that Pressure Drop beer. Despite it being cramped, I liked this place for its vibe and for bringing champagne down from its lux podium. Perfect for after work with a couple of people. The selection of dogs is better than some, but there's still no "healthy" meat, like chicken, although there is a vegetarian dog. I hear in the rear of this place is a fine dining restaurant which requires reservations. In L.A. The hotdog craze was probably kicked off by Wurtkusche in the Arts District. It has very exotic meat dogs, but served in a regular way as the flavour is in dog, not the toppings. It also serves up beers, not bubbles. read more

Champagne and hot dogs, what more could you ask for? I was in Paris for work, and had some friends in London that told me about this restaurant, and I (almost) immediately hopped on the Eurostar and met them for dinner. Long story short: I did excessive amounts of travel to get to this place, and I STILL think it deserves 5 stars. It opens at 5:30 on weekdays, which we found out when we arrived at 5:00. But no problem, we were the first to be seated! The atmosphere is cozy and trendy at the same time, a tricky mix to accomplish. Make sure you look up and notice the champagne-bubble-style light fixtures! The food was superb. The hot dogs were clearly made of quality beef - not like the cheap-o hot dogs you can get at the grocer. Our table had the "horny dog" the "BLT" and the "Mac Daddy" - everyone was super happy with their orders. The champagne list is extensive which is a necessity. We ordered a bottle of rosé because we had heard that the glass portions were small and PRO-TIP if you order a bottle, you get 2 hot dogs for free. Their version of a "meal-deal". When we were done eating we gave up our table and moved to the bar to finish our bottle. The bartender was friendly and helped guide us to our next stop of the night. You absolutely MUST try Bubbledogs next time you're in London. read more

This is such a cool concept of champagne and hot dogs! I had the blt hot dog with rose champagne and the horny devils (I think that's what they were called?). The flavors of the hot dog were perfectly balanced and the actual dog itself had a nice crisp snap to it. The crunchy bacon bits on top really pended to the texture. The horny devils were spicy corn fritters, and they were also a welcome accompaniment to the champagne. Being a solo diner I also appreciated that there was a good selection of champagnes by the glads read more

Good selection of bubblies and dogs. but my favorite is the TOTS. I watched the golden crispy goodness arriving at my table. It was love at first bite, the shell was crisp yet not overly greasy, the inside was freshly shredded potato that was just in the right thickness and consistency. I might've had dreams about it last night. oh wait I did. I need more tots!!! So I'm definitely a fan. The only reason for this 3 star is that I wish it had a bit more variety for food. like mini-dog-samplers, turkey dog, and carb-free dog. But yes I'll definitely go back soon!! read more

It's hard to find a sit-down restaurant that will serve tater tots, let alone tots and champagne. This certainly satisfies that craving. As a vegetarian, I certainly appreciate that almost everything on the can be veggie! I got the corndog, aka "horny dog" and although it's not like the American version I know, it was great. The batter was a cross between pancakes and hush puppies. I really appreciated the wait system, too. We put down our names and went to a wine bar, and when we got a text that our table was ready, we simply texted back and asked if we could push it back an hour. We received a call back and said it wouldn't be an issue. So easy!! read more

Bubbledogs - Horny (veggie) dog! - Hot Dogs Near Me - London, XGL

Somewhat pricey for a hot dog, but definitely not bad. It gets pretty packed during lunch-hours so come early! They have a pretty decent selection of bubbly as well as an array of unique toppings for their dogs. I ordered the tater tots as well as the sweet potato fries - definitely recommend both! But if you're choosing one, it's the sweet potato fries all the way! My dog was the 'fourth of july' - mmm cole slaw and bbq sauce, you can't go wrong with that. I also ordered a glass of the blanc de blanc which was obviously yum. I would come back but I feel that as it's really more of a novelty experience I'd only come back if my guests had never been. read more

What do you get when you mix delicate French champagne and American hotdogs? Bubbledogs. It's such a weird and wonderful combination that I'm still unsure of whether I love them together or separately. I enjoyed the Josè hotdog with tomato salsa, avocado, sour cream and picked jalapeños. It was fresh, light and slightly healthy.The sweet potato fries are also a good extra to nibble on. There is also a 14 course degastation which can be booked up to the three months in advance. You won't find any mass market champers brands. Bubbledogs prides themselves on offering individual small producers who grow and make their own product.There are 4-5 types of champers by the glass ranging from £6.50 -16 as well as a range of bottles available. If the bubbles are too much, there are beers, spirits and cocktails. If you want to avoid the wait, head in before 7pm or get a reservation.The space is long and thin with small tables good for 4 or 6 at a squeeze along the side. I'm definitely a fan! read more

To say I traveled across an ocean for this place would not entirely be a lie. I put this place on my itinerary as soon as my friends and I booked our tickets for spring break in London (not entirely the typical spring break destination but worth it!). As someone who spent much of her freshman year of college running on the joke that she was dating a hot dog (and thus consuming MANY hotdogs), this place was a must! The service was very impressive, though t was a bit slow (in the restaurant not with regards to service) so I can't attest to how they are when busy! I ordered the Mac Daddy dog with a side of sweet potato fries, which happen to be another love near and dear to my heart. Let's talk dogs first though: the hot dog was amazing especially with the mac and cheese which had just the right consistency to our with a hot dog but not overpower it (I'm aware I'm speaking on a hot dog but it really is an art form if you do it right). The sweet potato fries were good, a little bland, but I have Cajun taste from my family in Louisiana so I can't blame them for not being able to meet my standards. I'm sorry to say that I cannot tell you what I drank, I think maybe proseco of some sort. I was an American on spring break after all they do start to blend! But I would recommend this place to anyone and I will be returning to London and back to this restaurant again, hopefully soon! read more

The epic combo of an incredible Champagne list from Sandia Chang and ultimate #foodporn hotdogs from her husband James!! I absolutely love this place! I have only been here once so far after having a few too many cocktails and looking for some scrumptious food to fill the belly! I had the Reuben beef Hot dog(with sauerkraut, Russian Dressing and melted swiss cheese £7) and sweet potato fries (£3.50). I can honestly say this is the best hot dog I have ever had, definitely trumps any of the trendy burger chains too... Plus the "sweet potato" fries & champagne combo make you feel like you are being healthy & classy at the same time as eating a hotdog haha. :) Really chillaxed quirky venue with cute features like the collage on the bathroom walls of restaurant menus that Sandia & James have dined at. Great place to start the night (or end it) in Fitzrovia, London P.s I here the "Kitchen Table" hidden through the back of Bubbledogs has a highly recommended tasting menu that I am still to try.. read more

This is truly a restaurant you visit so you can tell people about it. We went on a Saturday morning, as we didn't feel like queuing and didn't had enough people for a reservation ... you will need six ... just so you know. The restaurant has a nice urban chic feel to it and the waiters are very nicely dressed in uniform and very attentive. The menu is simple and well designed. The champagne is expensive, but hey it's champagne and we did not complain about the champagne. But ... I don't think I will go again. Yes, the champagne was nice and the atmosphere was great, but the combination of champagne with ordinary hot dog did not work for me. The hot dogs are really the usual, rather small sausage in a bun ... and they come in a plastic basket. "Why not? That's the way to serve a hot dog!" I hear you say ... but ... it's so out of character for the place they created. I think they should have gone all the way with the kitsch and the retro dinner idea ... then add the champagne. Instead they went with the champagne bar concept ... and then added fat and greasy (overprized) food. Anyway the hot dogs were nice, but I could have eaten three of them, plus sides. It's a novelty for sure and in the future I can say: "Do you remember? A few years back they had this strange champagne bar thing with the hot dogs?! That was quite something." read more

You probably don't even need to bother reading reviews on this one... Champagne + Hot Dogs. That's really all that needs to be said! My husband, our friends, and I had Bubbledogs on our "Must Try" list on our trip to London and we certainly were not disappointed! First of all, the atmosphere was positively adorable & our waitress was exceedingly charming. My friend and I each started with a glass of Rose. The champs list was just enough to give choice without making it an overwhelming decision. There was a champagne for every price point, too! I ordered the Mac Daddy & plain tots while the rest of the table ordered the Fourth of July, the Sloppy Joe, a second Mac Daddy and some chili cheese tots. Everything was delicious and completely lived up to our expectations! read more

Let's be real. The reason why we go here is because they put champagne with hotdogs which is a fancy [read: weird] combo. While the service is good, the food isn't anything to write a review about. I tried 2 hotdogs and neither were terribly great. Fortunately, the tarter tots were amazing. Luckily there wasn't a line to get in when I arrived or I would have been mad at myself for waiting. Skip this place. There are much better places in the city to eat. If you still choose to go here skip the hotdogs and order champagne and tots. That's still just as fancy right? lol read more

I am so lost. Champagne and hot dogs? Unique concept, but I don't really see the appeal. Came here late-ish on a Friday with a friend, and we were lucky that the queue was only half an hour. Lining up for hot dogs is not a new thing for me, as I used to live in the hot dog crazy city of Chicago. I see what they're trying to do with all the unique hot dog flavors (Hot Doug's in Chicago, Crif Dog in NY), but I wasn't a big fan of the ones I tried. I think having the customer choose between a pork/beef wiener may seem like an advantage, but sometimes choice is not good. I think the restaurant should decide which wiener goes better with whichever combination. I do have to say though that I'm happy I found a place in London that does corn dogs. While not the greatest corn dog ever, it was still pretty great. The tater tots. The tater tots here are amazing. Our server said they had to specially source the tater tots. All they need to do is offer neon molten cheese to dip the tater tots in. I would come back, skip the hot dogs and get my fill on tots. read more

If you're not a fan of hot dogs, I don't think this place will change your mind. I came with two friends and the wait was close to an hour since the space is small. It's narrow but cozy. We were seated at the stool seating next to the staircase so it was a bit cramped but we didn't mind on that particular day. There's something about hot dogs that just never quite clicked with me. I've tried ones at picnics and barbecues, ball parks, gourmet sausages on rolls, and bratwursts in Berlin. I like sausages on their own cut up and even corn dogs once in awhile but I don't know what it is - when the sausage is combined with that roll and toppings, it never pleases or amazes me. The only time I ever enjoy a hot dog is drunk on the streets of SF or LA when it comes wrapped in bacon and topped with caramelized onions and ketchup, mayo, and mustard. I had the Breakfast Dog because it sounded unique and the most interesting with the black pudding bits (blood sausage). The toppings were good but I didn't find the sausage that great so the overall experience was somewhat forgettable for me. The tots and fries were good. I don't think the pairing of hot dogs and champagne necessarily adds to the actual tasting experience other than being kitschy. read more

More hype than substance. It supposed to be a place that specialises in hot dogs and champers. I'm not a big fan of champers, but I was definitely impressed by the pages of options we had. We picked a bottle and, not being a connoisseur, it tasted fine to me. My issue is with the hot dog. I had the beef date dog. The bun to hot dog and topping ratio was all wrong. There was too much bun and not enough beef/toppings. The actual hot dog was quite thin and lacked flavour. When I took a bite, there was no snap of the casing and the inside was not juicy. I didn't taste much garlic at all, and there was only a scant amount of onions within the bun. The sour cream on top was, again bland. The sweet potato fries were delicious and the service was great. However, I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone. Especially since a lot of people who hadn't booked a table were outside waiting for up to 45 minutes. read more

Take my favorite thing, champagne; my partner's favorite, hotdogs and bam, you've got chemistry for a meal. Bubbledogs is a neat concept and while some tend to roll their eyes at the idea or say rut-ro, no way (Scooby-Doo reference) ... I say zoinks it was pretty darn good. What lured a non-hotdog-eating person into such a joint? Tater tots!!! Mmmm, I couldn't resist and the novelty of it all together seemed fun. We went on Valentine's, yeah I'm romantic too. We stood in line for about 1.5 hours as well. (they only take reservations for 6 or more) Now you're thinking rut-ro this guy is crazy, right? Well we found some friends in line and passed the time by having a few beers fetched from a local store. While waiting the staff kindly came out to check on us and pass around some of the fabulous tater tots my mouth was watering for all night. Once inside their cozy place I found the restaurant charming and fun. The staff was great, bartenders are fantastic as I watched them craft some cocktails. You'll get a kick out of the menu with various kinds of hotdogs to enjoy from the New Yorker to the dog du jour which had Foie gras. Don't worry if you're not into posh/fancy dogs you have have a Naked Dog. Sadly the only thing unavailable that night was the sweet potato fries which means I'll just have to go back and try. I'd say if you're looking for something different, fun and a doggone good time then head off to Bubbledogs y'all and maybe I'll see ya there! read more

Bubbledogs has been a sort of mythical place in London for the best part of the last year (2013) so it was with quite an amusement that we actually got a chance to dine there. I was looking forward into trying it out almost immediately once it was open, but then I was visiting London just for a few short days and it requires a trip to Fitzrovia and some amount of patience to actually get a table. We were told we would need to wait 2h for a table or we could immediately be sited at the bar. We were quite lucky I guess but they anyway take reservations only for the groups of six or larger (I guess because their sitting options are table with bar stools for six to eight people). So maybe our sitting arrangements were not very comfy but still it wasn't much different then the other people in the place. After you've finished browsing 100-or-so pages of their bubbles selection (it's not all champagne but it's all bubbly) you finally arrive at their dog selection. Which are quite nice: naked dog (just bun + sausage), Reubens (with 'slaw), Sloppy Joe etc. You are always left with a selection of turkey, beef or pork dog. And they are really tasty! Plus the bubbles. It is fancy and it is a nice idea and it is definitely worth exploring if you are tired off all the other options like burgers, pulled pork sandwiches and so on. read more

My friends raved about this place and my first reaction was hotdogs and champagne? Such a weird but original idea! So we went on a Saturday early because we assumed there would be a line, and good that we did because when we left the line was much longer. The decor immediately impressed me... gorgeous interior and lighting with rich wooden finishes. And the branding is also very well done. The hotdogs were really amazing and went surprisingly well with the bubbles. Try MacDaddy! We topped off the dogs with sweet potato fries, which was a nice treat since not a lot of places have this in London. If you want to spend quality time request to sit on the tables and not by the stairs because waiters can easily bump into you. Enjoy, I love this place :) read more

I was a bit skeptical eating a hot dog that costs £7-£7.50 where sides also need to be ordered. However when I tried the Mac Daddy beef (you can choose pork as well) hot dog with sweet potato fries and tater tots I was sold! We ordered cole slaw as well which unfortunately was quite basic. Their champagne menu is also extensive and who knew that combining it with hot dogs would taste so good. The restaurant is small and they don't take reservations so there may be a queue when you come. Service is fast and also waiters are attentive. Would definitely come again! read more

A champagne bar that serves hot dogs for food. Cocktails for £9-10 with a glass of champagne going across the full range. A hotdog plus chips will be £12. All up Around £20-25 pp. Atmosphere is nice but tight with everyone on stools. It's a pretty small place with 8pm Thursday wait times reaching an hour. Service is reasonable. The variety of what they do with a hotdog is pretty good but the actual meat is a little stingy. Definitely recommend getting two dogs "double down". A nice thing to try but probably not worth searching out. read more

Eh. I love the idea of Bubbledogs. It sounds so nouveaux - Hotdogs! Champagne! How pop-uppey and elitest. And, given it is right down the street from my work on the already happening Charlotte Street, why not check it out at least a couple days. Now, it is probably worth mentioning that I've been around the hotdog block a few many times. How can one resist passing one vendor after another on the streets of NYC without stopping for a bite? Therefore, I walked into Bubbledogs having some high expectations of a good dog. 1 - Too much bread! If i'm going to be gorging myself on a thoroughly unhealthy combination of meat - it better be a lot. I guess I was just expecting a larger dog coming out at either end. I guess it seems typical for an American to be complaining about portions, but I was a bit disappointed at the bread/topping to meat ratio 2- Champagne - alright, this part is cool. Nothing like a little business lunch date of food normally reserved for baseball stadiums and then sipping on a glass of bubbles. It was like entering the box. 3- Ambiance - Eh. For what I'm paying for a hot dog and alcohol, I wasn't much a fan of the sitting arrangement. Stool seating is never too comfortable, and I tend to reserve the experience for diners. It was hard to have a conversation given the set up and awkwardly placed seating. We were also angled in such a way that we had to adjust to the waiter coming by with almost every order. I felt like I had to try this place out given all the hype and long lines but I doubt I'll be popping by again. 2 thumbs up for concept but unfortunately, this didn't provide the taste of "home" that I was hoping for. read more

Just to clarify that place serves HOT DOGS and CHAMPAGNE. Surely that alone is enough to convince about 88% of the adult population of London to visit. I called in during the week with my friend Tasha, who had left me waiting for her in the cold for an hour while she dealt with some sort of real life emergency. It was actually too busy when we went, but the host said he'd drop us a text in 45 minutes when a table would be free. We went to a local pub and warmed our cockles on some vino in the meanwhile. When we went to claim our table, it became clear why we had to wait at all. Bubbledogs is TINY. Like, my bum barely fit through the door. It's also kinda dark (basically a cave. You might as well hide a horcrux in there), but moving swiftly on. We were brought menus and decided that we'd get a dog, a side each and a bottle of champagne to share. As we looked around, most people seemed to be having a dog and a glass only. Apparently it's the done thing, especially on a Monday when that combination is on special for a tenner. One measly glass doesn't interest me though, so no hard feelings. I opted for the Fernando dog, which comes with chorizo, onion and peppers and a drizzle of garlic aioli. At this point, I must have been pretty drunk already because the waitress asked if I wanted pork or beef and I thought she was talking about the chorizo. Hoho. Anyway, I cleverly kept my trap shut and got all the pork goodness. My friend got the Sloppy Joe, which was obviously drenched in chilli and cheddar. Not only were the hotdogs amazing, but our sweet potato sides were to die for as well. I believe it was John Lennon who said "Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end." Well, everything wasn't OK and this wasn't the bloody end. We wanted more pork! More booze! So when we called over the waitress and she clearly thought we wanted the bill, we demanded more hot dogs (I got the Sloppy Joe, can't remember what Tashbag got) and another bottle. BAZINGA! Bubbledogs 4 lyfe. read more

Bubbledogs = Champagne + gourmet hotdogs. Despite the strangeness of the combination, Bubbledogs manages to make it work, at least as far as the food is concerned. I highly recommend the Buffalo Dog (get extra buffalo hot sauce) and the New Yorker as far as dogs go. Bubbles are expensive with the cheapest bottle running around £40 - if only it was BYO! On the particular day we had chosen to give Bubbledogs a go, we arrived around 12.30 and were told there would be an hour wait as they had a reservation for 22 people coming in. I'm not too fussed they take reservations for groups of 6 or more but this is taking the cake just a little when the entire restaurant would only be able to hit 30 covers at a push. At that point, shouldn't you require they book out the whole place instead? Meet up at the place itself as you'll need to physically hold your space in line. Although they write down your name, they don't take down a phone number or anything else which would enable them to call you. The hostess will encourage you to pop down the street to Tesco and purchase some drinks to have while you wait but can't serve you from the bar which is literally just a few feet away. Alex S and I headed down with Nava N and Nida K held the fort - we got a ton of cider and had barely cracked them open when our table was called (after 20 mins not the expected hour - luckily they let us take our drinks with us). Honestly, pretty much every dog is good so go with what you like. For me, it was the Buffalo and the K-Dawg (topped with kimchi) that called out. I opted for one beef and one pork sausage but I would be hard pressed to tell you which one was which. Both were meaty and tasty but the toppings mostly overwhelmed the flavours. That being said, a hot dog to me should be something with a meaty base but really defined by the way its grilled and the choice of toppings - so no complaints at all on that front. The brioche rolls are also perfect and do a fair job of bearing up under the weight of the sauces. Overall, I think the dogs represent good value but the bubbles are probably a bit out of my comfort zone when it comes to price. Tasty, yes, but not enough value and it strikes a discordant note with me to have a dog in one hand and a champagne flute in the other. read more

Brilliant concept, great atmosphere, delicious champers, but the food... just alright. The place only really serves one thing: hot dogs, and for that, those dogs should be damn good. But it was nothing special, an ordinary, skinny dog with some funky toppings. I could probably make that on my own, and I'm a terrible cook. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh, after all in New York you've got places like Crif Dogs and Japadog, which load delicious hot dogs with delicious toppings and it hits the spot like no other, but still I had expected this place to compare. I had the Reuben, my dinner companion had the corn dog. They were good, but we just weren't blown away. That said, the tots and sweet potato fries were amazing. It's a cool bar and a great name, so would recommend checking it out just for the experience and to say you've been to a hot dog champagne bar (what???) but don't go with high expectations. read more

Apparently a place that serves champagne and hot dogs in London is a big deal. Such a big deal that my roomie, Valerie S., booked a table 3 months in advance. When the day finally arrived, I made my way to Charlotte St. and figured out that it must be the place with the long queue outside. Oh yeah, and it was raining. I pushed my way past the people to the front door and made it inside. It's a small place, and the whole atmosphere is very cute and girly. The host showed me to the table as I was the first to arrive. I'm not a huge fan of champagne so I went straight to looking at the hot dog menu. So many choices, not enough stomach space to fit them all. I decided to go with the Breakie with a pork hotdog, bacon-wrapped, fried egg, and black pudding. Basically anything on any menu with a fried egg on it speaks to me. It was delicious! Messy, but all around fantastic. Everyone ordered different hotdogs and champagne and by the time we were all done, some of us decided to go for another round since there was some room left. We figured we waited 3 months for this so we might as well, shoot. My second order was the Buffalo with a pork hotdog, buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, and celery. I wasn't a huge fan of this. The buffalo sauce needs some work, it was just way too plain. Oh yeah, they also have sweet potato fries... which I'm basically in love with and can't seem to keep my hands off them if they're in front of me. A great experience here with 7 gals and I'd gladly do it again. The food is good... I wouldn't wait in a line for it, but if we made reservations in advance I'd come back for sure to try some more of their dogs. read more

I paid attention to the concept already when the first articles of a new restaurant came out. Cmon, hot dogs and champagne, can it get better than this? Bubbledogs has become one of my favorite places in London since it opened and a sure stop when friends are visiting. On the dogs: Definitely good value for money! . There is a good selection of around 10 different dogs with witty names and themes from market foods around the world. All the dogs have an option of either beef, pork or vegetarian sausage. After serious dog tasting I have found my favorite to be the BLT dog, (BLT= bacon, lettuce and truffle). It is not easy to wrong with bacon, and the truffle gives the dog an extra creamy taste I am not sure what the lettuce is doing there, perhaps it gives color. Other favorites include the Jose dog, with avocado and salsa; K-Dawg with Kimchi and the Sloppy Joe with chilli. The problem is that one would like to try out all of them at once, but for me two dogs already equal a full meal. The menu has remained quite constant for the first 6 months after the opening, but I am intrigued to see if new dogs will appear over time (have to go back to check now and then =). On the drinks: The champagne menu is extensive and reasonably priced. If you are enough people to share a bottle (or just in the mood), the selection is wide. There are both big and small producers, vintages and rose champagnes on the list to choose from. One needs to go back many times if attempting to try all of them (I am tempted). For people having just a glass, there are around 5-6 good options. There are also cocktails on the menu, but hey, this is champagne haven, you can go for cocktails somewhere else. On the service: The staff is definitely friendly and helpful. But the idea seems to be to get people in and out as fast as possible. I get it that there is a queue outside, but the early bird gets the worm; and I like enjoying my dogs and bubbly with no hurry. If you want to get in without waiting the best time to go is when it opens, 17:30. read more

Bubbledogs - Hot Dogs Near Me - London, XGL

Champagne? Good. Hotdogs? Good. Together? I was about to find out! They say third times the charm and it took me about 3 tries to even get into this place because they don't take reservations for less than 6 people and inside it's barely big enough to swing a cat. Not that you would in a place called dog ;) The queue is always a mile long, so I was looking forward to seeing what was on offer. I was very hungry so went with a New Yorker (of course), the institution that is The Sloppy Joe and some sweet potato fries. For the champers, we went with a bottle of the Juillet-Lallement, Rosé, Grand Cru, Brut followed by the Varnier-Fannière, Grand Cru, Brut. Both the gourmet hotdogs and grower champagnes were fantastic. These are obviously not things which anyone would ever associate together. I've never been at a baseball game eating a hot dog and thought to myself "if only I had a bottle of Juillet-Lallement, Rosé, Grand Cru, Brut to wash this down with", but suprisingly they go very well together. Bubbledogs has hit a niche market like a lot of restaurants in London offering uniquely matched food and drink but I think this place will have queues all the way up to the BT tower until somebody comes up with a new idea! read more

Bubbledogs is the place where chic and street create a beautiful mash up and you get to sip on champagne whilst chomping on hotdogs. What could be better?! Only the fact that they sell sweet potato fries. Ohhhhh hubba, hubba. Two thumbs up, Bubbledogs. Great topping choices on the dogs, great sides and a great champagne list. AND dogs come in either beef, pork or veggie. Hard to get a reservation unless you book a few weeks in advance, and I wouldn't recommend just showing up. Good, friendly service. read more

I think I'm in love. And its name is Bubbledogs. I've been wanting to come here for ages. But I hate to queue. It's usually not worth it. So we rolled up at around 6:30 on a Saturday hoping the queue wasn't going to be terrible. It wasn't. We were eventually told about 20-30 minutes. Unfortunately they can't serve bubbly in the queue, but there is a Tesco around the corner (as the guy manning the queue told us) so the other half ran over there to get some booze for the queue. Well by the time he returned our wait time reduced drastically so we didn't actually get to drink any of our back-up booze (but we'll keep it in mind for next time). The place is quite small so it's pretty much all shared seating if you're in a small group. You're either at a bar type area or sharing tables (if you're in a group of two) with other groups. We got seated at a small bar area overlooking the stairs down to the toilets. Honestly though, it was absolutely great seating as we got to check out the amazing art hanging on the wall there (we saw some we wanted to take home, but I'm pretty sure they're not for sale). The menu is comical. Pages upon pages of bubbly and one page of food. It could take ages to work your way through it all. We were looking at some pink champagne (our favorite), and our awesome server asked us if we have ever had English sparkling. We said we have and we love it. So he recommended the Balfour (which we've had), but it's a more recent vintage and different. He was right it was fantastic. Now the food: The special for the night was a lobster roll. We ordered that and a horny dog (corn dog), buffalo dog and a sloppy joe (chili dog) with both tots and sweet potato fries for a sides and split everything. My favorite was the buffalo dog: buffalo sauce with hunks of blue cheese and onion. Fantastic. My next was the horny dog (but I love corn dogs and reminds me of being a kid). Then the lobster roll and the chili dog. It was a sweet chili and I was expecting heat, but it was still tasty. The tots were fantastic. Not the frozen stuff I grew up with as a kid, but an amazing taste sensation. The fries were amazing too! Everything about Bubbledogs was great: Champagne, food and service. Our server would always make sure we had enough bubbles, and even commented that the other half managed to beat him at one point when his glass was empty for a split second before he could fill it. He also chatted with us about so much stuff about drinks, food, art and everything. We'll be back. There were many more hot dogs on the menu we wanted to try and probably more Champagne as well. It's worth the queue as well (especially knowing we can go get something to tide us over from Tesco until we get through). Yes it's over-hyped but my high expectations were not only met but exceeded by my night here. And if they can do that on a Saturday night, I imagine they can do it any night. read more

Dudes. Bubbledogs is delicious! It's a super small restaurant, so be prepared to wait! Luckily our quoted 1 hour wait (because there was a party of 22 booked?!) lasted only about half an hour, and the staff at bubbledogs have no qualms about you getting beverages from tesco and partaking of them while waiting... Despite the smallness, Bubbledogs is adorable inside, and I totally wanted to snatch some of the cute wiener dog art off the walls and take it home with me. I had two dogs: the Fourth of July with a beef dog, and the Brekkie with a pork dog. I also had bites of several others, including the K-Dawg and the Sloppy Joe. The standouts to me were definitely the two that I ordered! The Fourth of July is just perfect with the beef dog, and there's a maple syrupy goodness to the Brekkie that is not to be missed! Not to mention, the egg was really nicely fried such that I was able to neatly break the yolk with a sweet potato fry and drizzle said yolky goodness all over the dog. I will say that I preferred the beef dogs to the pork dogs by a mile, but that's not to say the pork isn't good. And can I just devote a separate paragraph to the marvel that is the Bubbledogs tater tots? There. There it is. Separate paragraph for the tater tots alone. Holy cow, they are delicious. Fried and fresh and perfectly salted. Drool-worthy. Visit! It's cute and delicious and service is really nice, so it's totally worth the queue. read more
