"I visited on a saturday with two other people. The server was a little flustered, and as he under the drinking age he confessed he couldn 't make any cocktail recommendations from his own experience. The hostess provided some good recs, though. My companions each had the green curry in coconut milk with udon noodles, and they both loved it. I always try pad thai at every restaurant that has it, and I knew going in that this was not necessarily a 'classic ' PT, but something new, with a soy sauce base. Unfortunately it lacked the aspects of PT I appreciate the most namely, crisp bean sprouts, green onions, and peanuts (there were plenty of the latter at least). The sauce was too heavy and overpowered the delicate balance of the other ingredients, and the sauce 'puddled ' on the bottom as opposed to lightly coating the noodles. It didn 't taste bad, but the texture was just dull and boring without the crispness of fresh, less cooked bean sprouts and green onions, it just had an overall 'soft ' mouthfeel, with the thankful addition of good peanuts. The named, classic cocktails were all decidedly in the 'sweet ' category, with no 'dry, ' more savory cocktails to be found. I did enjoy the tequila mockingbird, with a hint of black pepper dusting the top. Overall, I 'd return and try other dishes, but I 'd probably pass on the cocktails entirely and stick with their large beer selection."

"I haven't left a review on Yelp for years but after today I felt it necessary. This place has a very good beer selection and below-average food. The reason I am leaving this review: the service. Twice in the last couple months I have been treated like absolute (you know what). The first time, I let it go. But after being completely ignored at the bar for nearly 10 minutes, today, I decided to leave a review.The bartenders, here, are RUDE/DISRESPECTFUL beyond any other bar I have taken to in this city: and I have lived here for over ten years. On a Saturday afternoon, the Bulldog was FAR from busy. I sat at the bar for 10 minutes, as stated, and watched as the bartender serve a couple regulars to my left, then walk past me to gather glasses from the surrounding tables and load them into the dishwasher, which was directly in front of me. He finished, then served the people to my right, gathered more glasses and loaded, then walked away. 5 minutes pass and he walks by again and again. Finally I say something to him with a very cursory response suggesting he didn't notice me. That's absolute bull. There are plenty of other reviews here that indicate the same level of service/treatment.I'm not sure why the bartenders in this place feel such an undeserved sense of self-worth but it's pretty obvious that management doesn't care and it will continue. Sick of walking into this place as if I owe it to the Bulldog to be a customer. There are all kinds of fantastic bars within walking or streetcar distance, where the service staff genuinely appreciate and take an interest in you as a customer, and person. Please think twice about giving this establishment money for overpriced drinks and food."
