Good Dog Bar
31.Mar.08
224 S. 15th St., Philadelphia, PA
So, after taking care of my business in Philly, I had some time before choir, so I was trying to think of where to have dinner. I then remembered that I had wanted to try Good Dog for a while. From the outside, there’s nothing remarkable about the place, and the inside doesn’t have much either: it’s sort of a hipster dive bar in some ways — dark, overstuffed, with an odd mixture of old and young, men and women.
So, why Good Dog? Well, over a year ago, Craig Laban wrote a review of the place and there was a picture I will never forget of the meal I was to have:
Yes, that is the Good Dog Burger — 1/2 pound of sirloin, stuffed with roquefort, topped with caramelized onions, and barely contained by a brioche bun.
Yeah. Wow. The service wasn’t all that great, the shoestring fries (regular and sweet intermixed) were barely warm, but the burger? Holy bajeezus. It was goooooooooooooooood.
So, should I have occasion to need a humongoid burger that will kill my diet (and some nice beers on tap, including Magic Hat #9, my selection this time), then I will definitely go back.
Arf!
