Ed's Dog House — Restaurant in Carson City

If I recall correctly, Ed's Dog H has been in business around 30+ years. It's clear they've provided what works for their customers. The inside is a bit smaller then some bars yet it works well. It's comfortable, cozy & easier to engage in conversation & meet new people. The customers are frien helpful & fun 2 be around. The bartenders (mostly, if not all, females) are very nice, attentive & they pour well. I started drinking Bloody Mary's again 4 they make them less spicy when I ask & they taste great. Yet if your wanting a blended drink, I do not think they have a blender there 2 make one yet they do have plenty of ice 2 keep it cold. I like my frozen drinks yet I like their environment better so the frozen drinks will need 2 wait. Their Bartenders make you feel comfortable & appreciated. I haven't n.oticed even 1 time any bad attitudes from any of them, not even 1 time. I think that's what I like the best & they always make me feel welcome. It's a bit uncomfortable for women 2 go into a bar alone. Some people assume your there for reasons you are not however I haven't felt that there at all. The Average age range is anywhere around mid 30's t. 70s. Yet at time a few younger or older do join in. At times it's very busy, especially if a Pool Tournament us going on, so the outdoor rear of the bars backyard helps alleviate the crowded areas. There are gambling machines at the bar & 3 or 4 sit down machines not at the bar, a dart board, One pool table inside & one pool table outside which is my favorite area. Outside, behind the bar is a very Large tall fenced off area that I really like. There are more tables & chairs, 2 or 3 covered areas (one that covers the outside pool table & an outdoor bar (not being used yet likely is used with bigger events). I do not know if they use the outdoor area for parties or if they ever have yet it Definitely looks like it has & / or could be used for such. There's plenty of room 2 add a make shift close 2 ballroom size dance floor area yet you'd need 2 bring or make it (if allowed that is). It's a really good place 2 hold a larger party, bbq or even a wedding. Keep in mind though, this is a local country type of bar, it's not the Ritz yet it serves the same purpose which is 2 hopefully help people relax, have a good time, meet others & experience a bit of like minded...

If you get Sandi as your bartender tip her good. She's awesome and deserves it.

A. Old Classic Carson City watering hole my great grandpa used to take me when he dropped off his last paper for the day.

Different times. I played the Pacman game machine with all the quarters PA gave me while he had end shift drink.

1 star down cuz the pacmans gone°{ But seriously. It's a bar. You can go there . if your not in the doghouse with your wife bring her along.

Pool, darts, and same old...

One of many local 'dive bars' in Carson City. What sets Ed's Doghouse apart from the rest? A nice, helpful owner and kind staff. Open early on Saturdays so you can watch football. Internet for the customers. And he makes a great Bloody Mary! 5 TVs showing sports with sound on, balanced, so as not to disturb others on a different TV. The one star missing is due to aesthetics and comfort only. Could use a makeover but that's a minor quibble and not different from all the other...
