Dog & Bone
8.1
A corner tavern with a game-day heartbeat where wings function as the reliable, repeatable order—crispy, sauced, and built for sharing with pints. It’s strongest when you keep the table simple: wings first, one pub side, then settle into the long-hang rhythm.
Must-Try Dishes:
D&B Wings (Buffalo or BBQ), Truffle fries, Burger (share-friendly anchor)
Scores:
Value: 7.9
Service: 8.4
Consistency: 8.3
Food Quality: 8.2
Atmosphere: 7.6
Cultural Relevance: 7.8
What makes it special: Wings built for pints, games, and repeat visits.
Who should go: Game-watch groups and wing people
When to visit: Weeknight happy hour before 7
What to order: Buffalo wings, truffle fries, one draft beer
Insider tip: Order wings early—kitchen timing is best before peak.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots nearby but tough after 6pm. Most people walk, bike, or take a short cab/subway ride.
Dress code: Casual bar wear—jeans, sneakers, team gear all fit right in.
Noise level: Loud during games; moderate off-peak. Conversation is easy early, harder once crowds and TVs ramp up.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during big games; faster if you arrive early or grab bar seating.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait; plenty of open tables.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—fries, salads, and bar sides but wings are the clear focus.
Vegan options: Very limited—best to eat beforehand and snack lightly.
Gluten-free options: Some options like grilled wings and salads, but shared fryers mean cross-contamination risk.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, low-pressure dates than romantic ones—great if you both like sports and wings, less ideal for quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are standard. Go early for tables; later crowds may push you toward the bar.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day it’s fine for older kids who can handle noise; evenings skew adult and sports-bar heavy.
Best For
Better for: Reliable wings, beer selection, and game-day energy without overthinking the menu.
Skip if: You want chef-driven wings, quiet dining, or strong vegetarian/vegan options.
Dog & Bone
7.5
A casual Flatiron-area tavern that works best as a dog-friendly, outdoor-seat hang for drinks and straightforward bar food. Go with one reliable shareable, one handheld, and a round of pints so the table stays relaxed and unfussy.

Burger, Chicken wings, Fish & chips
Scores:
Value: 7.7
Service: 7.3
Consistency: 7.3
Food Quality: 7.4
Atmosphere: 7.8
Cultural Relevance: 7.1

Dress code: Casual—jeans, sneakers, and laid-back layers all fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy conversation outdoors, louder inside during peak happy hour.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes if you want an outdoor table; bar seating often opens sooner.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait; happy hour crowds start building after 5pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—one or two bar-friendly options like veggie burgers or sides.
Vegan options: Very limited—mostly sides; not a destination for plant-based dining.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free items available, but no dedicated prep or marked menu.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a low-pressure drinks meet than a full dinner—casual, social, and unfussy rather than romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm. Aim for earlier happy hour or be flexible with bar seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—this is more of an adult pub atmosphere with a drinks-first focus.
Best For
Better for: Dog-friendly hangs, easy pints, and relaxed group meetups with minimal planning.
Skip if: You’re looking for elevated food, a quiet dinner, or strong dietary accommodations.
