A great place to spend a sunny afternoon sampling the taps! $3.25 happy hour is nice, and the beer garden is where to be on said sunny afternoon. The food I had here is always good, though i tried to order 'Bangers & Mash' three different times only to be told they "were out". Still, a good place if you can find a parking spot.

Great place - sought it out after reading what they had on tap. If I could open a pub, it would be like this one. Very European-style public house, more about hanging out and talking to your neighbor than about drinking - although there is very good drinking to be had. Really has that home-away-from-home feeling. The food I've tried is delicious - pub-grub with a little more heart than most. The taps are not to be tangled with, and they have a very good house IPA made for them by Maritime Pacific. Excellent hang-out - my wife and I have driven up twice from Tacoma just to have beers here.

Friendly. Local. Good food. Lots of good beer ON TAP. What more do you want?? This place is my favorite place to tilt a pint in the Renton-South Seattle area.

After the great beer there's the fish and chips, possibly the best this side of the lake, or even this side of the mountains, and I don't care which ones you take.

This is a nice place, but all these "Awesome!" reviews are a bit overdone! Some astro-turfing going on?

I have been there 3 times, twice in 2002 and now again October 5 2003.

The Sunday October 5 2003 visit proved disappointing.

Their web site is misleading (and a Pubcrawler user should include the web site as a factor).

Their web site does not say what time they close. 10pm on Sunday is posted on their front door, but the site just says they serve food until close.

Their web site says they have wireless internet access. But they fail to tell you it is $3.00 a day (and not included if you purchase dinner). You also have to get the waitress to create an account for you, they have no self-signup procedure for wireless users.

They had decoration banners all over for Murphy's Irish Stout and Paulener Oktoberfest beer but had neither on tap. I find that kind of thing annoying. It is like showing up after a party and they didn't bother to clean up.

Prices for food are decent for Seattle $6 to $12. There were 4 of us for dinner. Food was decent. We all had different types of sandwiches.

Complaints: They had Halibut and Chips marked off the menu and one other entree marked off the menu. However, their web site version of the menu did NOT mention that these entrees were unavailable (again another complaint about their web site information).

Good place, but they clearly don't get how to provide wireless internet (at least make it free if your check is $15 or more). And their web site could have true listing of their hours, current menu, etc.

Great place, but not the "perfect" rating that everyone seems to be giving it here :)

I love this place! Dog and Pony has a beach kind-of-relaxation feel to it. Patrons are easy-going and friendly and the service is excellent! I have recommended this place to all my friends and brought co-workers. Thank you very much Dog and Pony for a great place to drink, eat and socialize.

Great fun! We sat in the beer garden and had a wonderful dinner. The food and beer were great and the staff was very easy on the eyes.

I just found this place by accident and was pleasantly suprised. I had one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time, but almost too much food. Great beers and good atmosphere. The service was very friendly and they actually knew about the beers I asked about. I highly recommend it!

A top rate selection of beers/ales, but the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Came here after seeing the web site. What a great place. Good atmosphere, great food and too many beers to get through in a night. Highly recommended!

The only problem with this board is when some moron gets kicked out of a place they end up writing a bad review like our friend "rick". It's too bad really. Honestly this is the best place. There are a few great pubs in Renton and the Dog and Pony is definately one of them. Great food, service and amazing beer selection. Don't let it get you down guys!!

This place has by far the best beer selection around the area since the closing of our beloved Rose Hill Alehouse. I have no problem driving the extra 15 miles or so for the wonderful beer selection. The food is reasonable and prepared from scratch. I'm not sure what Joseph from Covington's problem is but I find the Dog and Pony a wonderful place and enjoy myself there at least several times a week.

Out of the handfull of Renton alehouses this is by far the best. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is friendly and the beer selection is excellent. The patio is a perfect place to spend a summer afternoon, or relax until the torturous rush hour has passed. Everyone that I have had accompany me for a "quick one" after work has enjoyed the place. Thanks Dog and Pony!
