Dog & Bone Tavern: A Kips Bay British Pub With a Mon–Fri Happy Hour on Third Ave
Dog & Bone sits on the corner of 25th and Third in Kips Bay — a UK-inspired tavern run, per the bar’s own telling, by an English bulldog named Winston. It’s the kind of place where the screens are tuned to the Premier League and Champions League, the grocery shelf behind the bar is stocked with British snacks, and the sidewalk café out front comes with water bowls for your dog.
The name is East London slang for “phone” (dog and bone → phone) — the idea being a neighborhood spot where people catch up the old-fashioned way. It works. This is a comfortable, unpretentious bar with international sport on, decent beer, and pub food that punches above a corner tavern.
The Happy Hour
The happy hour is the reason to time your visit, and it runs longer than most:
- Monday–Friday, 3–7pm — drink specials at the bar and on the sidewalk café
- The hot dog + pretzel + beer combo — a long-running happy-hour favorite, reported around $10; enough food to count as an early dinner
- Weekend brunch — Saturday & Sunday, 10am–3pm, if you’d rather start the day here
Confirm the current happy-hour pricing at the bar, but the 3–7pm window holds seven days into the week.
The Bar
The draft list mixes UK and US beers — think London Pride alongside a Lagunitas IPA — and the back bar is half pub, half British corner shop, stocked with imported snacks and pantry staples. Order a pint, watch the match, and graze. It’s a beer-and-banter bar more than a cocktail destination.
The Food
Classic British comfort grub: fish and chips, bangers and mash, a Myers of Keswick sausage roll, mac ‘n’ cheese (add bacon), mozzarella sticks, and the D&B burger with fries. Hot dogs and shareable bites carry the happy-hour table. It’s hearty, honest pub food — not precious, and priced for the neighborhood.
The Room
A chill, low-key tavern with a small grocery store built in and a dog-friendly sidewalk café that stretches along the adjacent plaza — umbrellas, plenty of seating, and a steady stream of neighborhood dogs. Multiple screens mean a good view of the game from most seats, and there are darts in the mix. Winston the bulldog is the unofficial host.
