They do trivia, take home cup days, allow dog, have front and back patio, and plenty of TVs. It can get loud but the atmosphere is great when a big event or holiday comes. Giving it a 3 because I am not a fan of the noise level and they make you buy fries separate with a burger. I always have a reason so meet here but I never pick it as my first choice of bar. read more

The Bulldog - Bar wall - Sports Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

We came in, my husband waited at the bar to ask if we could sit anywhere because no one greeted us. The bartender didn't help my husband but asked for someone else to. We sat for a bit & no one came over so we left. Can't comment on food but service was terrible. And they weren't busy. read more

Beer selection is fantastic. And that's where the good news stops. The person who took my food order couldn't have been less interested in what I wanted. It was as if he didn't think he should have to do his job. Not to mention that he smelled like a certain flower which I don't think you can buy from a grocery store. Bartenders were okay. Girl who took my order the first time was great but the rest looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there. read more

I love going to The Bulldog for my Monday Night Football Watch Parties. Perfect scenery to catch a game in comfy sofas, enjoy great beer and some comfort food. Last week I tried the turkey burger and loved it. It was just what I needed. I added some fries to my order and it hit the spot. It's nothing too fancy but perfect when watching a game. I highly recommend stopping in at The Bulldog. read more

I had a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. The burger was very good, but the onion rings were very bland. They definitely need some seasoning in the onion ring batter or on the onions themselves. The bar is pretty impressive with a ton of beers on tap. The waitstaff was very friendly and helpful and knew their beers. Good place to get a good burger and beer! read more

Came here once before and the cook had a horrible attitude when we tried to order food. decided to give the place another try on new year's eve. we asked what time the kitchen closed and was told by the bartender midnight. after going over the menu we walked up to the kitchen at 11pm only for the cook to literally put a sign up in our face that the kitchen is closed without even saying a word to us. when we asked the bartender about this he changed his answer that the kitchen closes at 11. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice shame on me. read more

An after work go to place for me! Great beer selection and on Wednesdays you can take your pint glass home with you. I also love that this bar allows you to bring in your dogs! Almost every time I come here I end up sitting outside. The patio is great and has lots of space, so you aren't on top of the table next to you. It's a very 'chill' vibe here with space heaters and a fireplace set up too. I got the chips and queso this time, and it was ok. I wish the queso was filled to the top of the bowl, and the chips were stale, but it was still somehow good! I like how they have a kitchen window, and a full menu of so many options! read more

I don't even want to think about how much money I have spent at the Bulldog in years past enjoying tasty beers and amazing food night after night after night, knowing my former go-to spot has slid way down the hill these past few years. i know during the Covid era, several beloved staff either left or were let go (knowing some of that story makes me sad/mad too), and I know the service industry has changed, but my last time in there was quite possibly my last time in there. I was ignored at the bar while trying to order. Legit, looked in the eye, and the bartender moved on to serve her friend who walked in about 5 minutes after me, and they continued their conversation a few minutes before getting my drink order. The beer tasted rather funky as well. I sucked it up rather than dealing with her at the bar again, but didn't finish my drink. I didn't order my own meal, but my friend gave me some of his. The menu is different and this sandwich tasted like it was pulled from the freezer at WalMart around the corner. It just wasn't what it used to be. Maybe if the owners lived in the same time zone, they would care about this establishment and chain a little more, but I guess they're making enough from it for now that it's not a concern to them. I do like the outdoor addition in the front, though it's not where I would choose to sit. The outdoor patio is always a good option. Everything is pretty clean most of the time. Maybe something will bring me back to try it again, but with so many great places added to BR over the past five years or so, Bulldog has taken a backseat in my life. read more

This has been my favorite spot so far on our trip to Baton Rouge. Coleman took GREAT care of us during our visit to the The Bulldog! He made me one of the best margs I've ever had! They also have a huge beer selection. The food is pretty standard bar food which was exactly what we were looking for. The Amber Fries were our favorite. Highly recommend! read more

The '4 cheese' grilled cheese is just cheddar(menu says Fontina, goat, cheddar and Parmesan) on white bread NOT sour dough. Highly disappointed. The works burger was a frozen patty with microwave bacon. Do not recommend. Only reason I'm giving it two stars is the very large tap list. read more

Bartender was amazing! The cook was a jerk and the food was awful. Didn't get 2 of the things we ordered and half the stuff that came out was wrong. They ran out of the red pepper aioli last night but didn't tell us until our mahi mahi sandwich came out. Unacceptable. The bartender was the one who suffered because of the cook. read more

First of all, I really like this bar. In plan to come here V often. They have a ton of beers, and a cool vibe. They have a ton of beers (whoopsie, I said that twice) should I go for three times. Yup. They have a ton of beers. The employees are nice. There are some cool overstuffed chairs which a bunch of guys seats beat me too. Someday I'll get them! Also, I can come drink beer with the pups. 9/5/21 I feel that my review today would not be fair, because they were out of so many things. However, the cook was not friendly. But that could have been because he is stressed over being out of so many things and feeling stressed because of the hurricane. I got the Impossible Burger but they were out of buns. But the red onions and pickles and lettuce and tomato were yummy. And beer. And it's dog friendly. So I imagine I'll be back a lot. 9/9/21 Well, I'm back and lol! They have everything but one thing and of course it's what I wanted to try. But the cook is now really nice and friendly, so I'm chalking up the other day to hurricane stress. I'm still going to have to come back again to try the one thing I want. The nachos were good but had too much refried beans on them. Next time I'll just hold them. The other issue is that the nachos weren't hot, just warm. The cheese was melted on top, but honestly, even it wasn't fully melted. (FYI check picture and see how the cheese ISN'T a glob). All-in-all, it's a good too great bar but the food is mediocre bar food. But that's okay, it's not pretending to be something it's not. read more

Nice bar with a terrific beer selection. If there was a more friendly bartender,, it would be an easy 5 stars. Middle aged bearded bartender has a miserable attitude, and was too concerned with eating his burger in the well, than answering my questions about an item on the menu. I travel to BR monthly on business and seek great beer selections, and this bar has a terrific lineup! I'll return next time, hopefully the guy that looks like Al Borland from Home Improvement has "improved" his attitude by then. read more

The Bulldog - The middle aged bearded bartender with a trash attitude - he knows who he is - Sports Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The place looks really nice but I was very unhappy with what we got. We ordered the wing combo package which comes with "any fries you want" according to the menu so I asked for cheese fries and was charged an additional order of loaded cheese fries in addition to the combo. The wings were the smallest skimpy wings I've ever seen. My thumb was bigger than the drumsticks and I have small hands! The bartender was nice but didn't behave as such while doing his job. He poured the bare minimum. He measured every pour and gave less than the minimum. The loaded fries and Spinach Artichoke dip were decent although the chips to dip ratio was way off. We found this place passing thru Batom rouge and were debating between here and Phil's seafood, we should have chosen Phil's. read more

Beer is good but staff is so grumpy. Not sure if it was off night or staff is really that unhappy. Nachos were awful, stale chips and not nearly enough toppings. How do you mess up nachos? And closed on Sunday evening but TVs were on, strange vibe this weekend. read more

When ordering food we were not greeted with friendly service. He seemed like he did not want to be there and got mad when asked where our food was because someone else took our order when we were never texted that it was ready. Will not order food from them again because he had no personality. Drinks were good and atmosphere was great as well. read more

I've joined an informal club. It doesn't have many rules and I'm allowed to talk about it. We eat cheesesteaks. Preferably at a different location each week. Here are my musings concerning this particular cheesesteakery. Please remove this item from your menu. I've traveled far and wide, near and narrow and up and down the crowded boulevards of this fair city to taste the southern representations of the Philly Cheesesteak. We lighted upon the sunny patio of the Bulldog on a pleasant Friday around noon. Orders were placed, beers consumed and we eventually received our order. Unfortunately, the reward was not worth the wait. The general consensus of the table was that the sandwich reminded us of shredded cardboard atop a bundle of burnt balsa wood "bread". Au jus was provided to preserve your lips in salt and mildly dampen the crust that was provided to prop up the chewy, tasteless mass of barrel grade sliced meat product. I guess what I'm saying is...this is not a good sandwich and you should probably stop serving it. I like the rest of the place but I must warn people that this "cheesesteak" will ruin your day, nay...your week. p.s. It was WAY too expensive read more

The Bulldog - It looks good, but it's not. Trust. - Sports Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

So much beer. This was my first visit, and will not be my last. It's our New after work link up. There were at least 50 beer on tap. A huge cooler of bottle beers. They liquor variety was extensive. I am not a big drinker, so my review will be about the food. O orders a few apps for the table chicken tenders, nachos and egg rolls. All were fantastic. The egg rolls were the best. they are served with a raspberry chipotle sauce (I think) what ever that sauce was, it was DE-LISHUS!!!! Chicken tenders were standard. The nachos were good, but next time I probably stick to the chips and salsa. They got cold and hard fast. The portion is so big, that it gets cold before you can get thru 1/2 of it. It was nice to find a nice place to stop in, for an after work drink. The bartenders were nice. The cook was nice and the guests in the bar were very friendly. There is an area with sofas and "recliner" chairs. (I don't trust public sofas) but the area looked comfy and cozy. There are stooled bar tables and regular tables to enjoy your drinks and snacks. read more

I love this place. They have many beer selections. The staff is super friendly. You can bring your dogs. The outdoor area is great as well as the food. On the downside they don't get too many original craft beers. Also, it's pretty dark inside & can get loud. They do offer a lot of fun events such as Pint Night where you get to keep your pint glasses & trivia nigh Update (12/3/18): super disappointed with our experience tonight. We are regulars. I brought my grandfather for his 91st birthday since this is his favorite place. The bartender was off. He didn't offer samples as he usually does. I asked him to take a picture of me, my grandfather whose birthday it was, & my cousin. He said no then walked away. The bar was beyond slow tonight so there was no reason why he couldn't. He didn't offer a free drink for his 91st birthday or anything. He was extremely rude. Update (3/2019): So I returned & had a great time. The bartenders were all very welcoming minus the one who I wrote the ugly review about. I tried to call truths, but he wouldn't shake my hand, said he was still mad I didn't confront him, & he had told all the staff about my review. He also painted a very different picture to everyone. Minus Matt, the unpleasant bartender, this place is great for watching games, meeting up with people, & enjoying a good (but overpriced) beer. read more

Drink here, but don't eat here. The drink service was good. We opened a tab and were able to order from a good selection of beer. However, don't expect much from the food. You have to order your food from a hole in the wall where they take your order. We went during happy hour and they were under staffed. We ordered wings and they were comically small; like they were quail size wings. Not a good experience. Thankfully we were able to drink enough to overcome how bad the food was. read more

The Bulldog is my kind of bar! It's such a cool place that they haven't even let Covid-19 slow 'em down - they remain open for both indoor and outdoor seating! The Outdoor seating area has a lovely fountain; we found it highly enjoyable to sit and sip our brews while watching the water flow through it :-) There's a great selection of delicious craft beers, the staff at the bar are friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is excellent as well! read more

Great location and atmosphere but from my experience, the bartenders are definitely not nice or welcoming.. I went here twice and the first time, I had a very sexist and degrading conversation between a bartender and two (drunk) disrespectful men sitting at the bar.. That was enough evidence already that I did not like the place, but, I gave it another shot and went back. Second time, I went for a quick beer and was not welcomed or paid much attention to and got the impression that the bartender didn't care about my experience and seemed to not want to be there himself so I just got up and left. I'll go back if a friend invites me but definitely not going to be my first choice ever again. read more

We weren't happy here. We came for Happy Hour but they don't actually observe those Happy Hour prices here. That's a shame since we have enjoyed the NOLA locations for years. Our server, Celeste, was not happy that I disagreed when she incorrectly rang our order. She didn't have the time or patience to discuss it with me. She blamed it on the computer. She did however have time to complain to other employees (within earshot) about our table disputing the bill over a total of .50 cents. That's right 50 cents. It was her shallow attempt to embarrass me in front of my date. She could have made it right but she sent Josh over and he was patient and listened to us. Thankfully he was a level minded employee to handle the transaction however it was not corrected because prices can't be changed in the computer even when pricing is wrong. The current beer menu (printed 2 days prior) listed Abita at $5.25 as well as the Abita sign/ad on the wall. The happy hour price reduction never occurred. The crawfish banditos were overcooked on the outside and not full of tasty crawfish, onions, green peppers etc that I remember in the past from Bulldog locations. I have visited Jackson, MS., Magazine St and Canal Blvd. These banditos were mostly melted cheese inside. Next time we will go to Phil's or Solera next door. read more

The shrimp po boy was beyond salty and I'm young and not very picky. The pulled pork sandwich was dry from the meat down to the bun.

The Bulldog - a hot dog with pickles and pickles - Sports Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

To get one's beer on in Baton Rouge, one must do so here at The Bulldog on Perkins. Aside from being one of the more popular bars in the city, this sister location of the original New Orleans institution has the kind of variety that would get any beer lover's attention. Regulars of the NOLA location should notice one thing immediately: BR's version is far nicer. It's not just that its newer, it's got its own standalone space, a prettier rendition of the beer tap fountain, ample parking, and a more modern interior. The best part? They haven't managed to compromise their love of beer and have even added a heartier selection of food. Instead of all of the bougie or less than stellar nightlife spots throughout BR, there is always a mix of young and old professionals here either getting rowdy over an LSU / Saints game or just sitting at a table and catching up over a drink. I still have yet to try what I'm told is one of the best burger spots in town, which I'll make sure to do my next time in town. Service is a tad spotty at times, but still amiable for the most part. Prices feel a little high for the area, but the selection (besides Chimes) is practically unparalleled. One notable thing I haven't seen in most places? They're dog friendly. Nothing like pounding a beer with man's best friend rooting you on. read more

Get's crowded at times - starting around the bar area - turning a drink order into a pushy-shovey adventure. Some people like that I guess, but I don't. Wednesdays are 'pint night' where as you can keep your decorative pint glass with each beer purchased. Fun, that's when it's the most crowded! I do enjoy bringing my dog and sitting outside as their outdoor patio area is very pleasant. Grab a burger at their grill and make an evening of it, if weather permits! read more

No one to great you at the door and atmosphere was kinda bland. Drinks was fairly good & the Marty was good.

We came here on thanksgiving night to watch the LSU game. The atmosphere was awesome. They have tons of tvs with the game on. Its seat yourself and you order at the bar area. I really like that they switch to music during the commercials then turn the sound back to the game when it comes back on. The prices were great, we got two appetizers and a few drinks for less than $50. The only reason it didn't get five stars is that I wouldn't recommend the food. If you want to grab a drink and watch the game though, this is the place to go! read more
