Red Dog Saloon - Norfolk

Well, my husband and I , unable to go to busch gardens, decided to go bar hopping in Norfolk the other night.    Let me tell you that right by the Naro theater in Norfolk is a little place called the Red Dog Saloon. (1421 Colley Ave
Norfolk, VA 23517-1705)
They are a bar serving beer, wine, Red Dog cocktail mixes (and I'm sure any other mixes you could want) and good foods.  On Friday and saturday they have two different "happy hours" (they deem themselves the "happy hour heroes") in which you can get up to 50% off on two appetizers.   Pretty much you can get buy one get one half off OR buy one get one free on appetizers.  We got the Jerk Wings and Fries Mountain.   The Jerk Wings are ... well your average Jamaican wings.   The fries mountain was a mountain of good fries with melted cheddar cheese and bacon bits on top.  (Luckily for me I had my Lactaid earlier that day...)    The fries were my favorite!      Lee ordered the Mangy Dog drink (after a Guiness), and I had a "the hair of the dog" followed by a sprite that I mixed into it because it was too strong.   They definitely have some good mixed drinks! 

The atmosphere was really cool - a lot of red furniture and red lights but not too over kill.   They had a few large flatscreens along the bar with sports on them but you could also sit in a booth and be a little away from the bar.  It was very nice.   The bar experience without the atmosphere headache!   I liked the entertainment- there was a couple of buisness post college guys doing bar tricks.    LOL. 

I really liked being able to sit in a booth and observe the bar ish ness without having to completely take part in it.   The drinks were fun even though mine was neon blue and really strong.  Oh!  There were cherries in my drink but when I tried to eat it it tasted like a cherry bomb of rum and vodka!  YUCK!  Lol.     I really wanna go back and try some different food items and see if it could actually be worth eating real live food there.  Oh and I wanna try sitting at the... gulp.... REAL BAR.    I'm not really a bar person.  I don't feel like I have an outgoing personality in a new area.   We'll see.

Any girl friends of mine wanna go out there?  

Be warned:  the waitresses are dressed well... as waitresses.  Kindof like hooters but a little more conservative.  They had hooter type shirts, but they were all actually wearing tank tops under that covered most of the cleavage.  

Anyway.   It was good.   I give it Four and a Half Chicken wings!     And I'm definitely gonna try and go back.    If we can get out of the hole going there put us in....
