If you come from the States you are probably used to a glut of sports bars. Hooters, Pluckers, Buffalo Wild Wings dot the western landscape like so many murdered buffaloes of days gone by. On arrival to Fukuoka, the first thing most Westerners blurt out is, “Where in tarnation are all the goldang sports bars?” as they shoot twin pistols into the sky. Well pardner, I’ll tell you where they’re at. Trot your pony down to Oyafuko-dori street and saddle up to Two Dogs.
For five years this spot has been sporting many of the creature comforts that you’ve come to expect, a bevy of big screen TVs, a darts machines and a host of bar food. Some standouts from the menu are the Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger (¥1,200), Pulled Pork Sandwich (¥1,000) and the Chicken Wings which come cooked several different ways with several different sauces (¥650/5 pcs, ¥1,250/10 pieces, ¥1,800/15 pcs). Two Dogs keeps the menu fresh with monthly food specials including a hamburger and a seasonal flavor. They also have monthly rotating craft beer on tap as well as a weekly featured craft beer. What’s better than a hamburger and a beer? If you catch happy hour from 6 pm to 8 pm you can enjoy half-price cocktails (¥300) and ¥100 off beers.
Every Friday night Two Dogs hosts a DJ who will take requests, so don’t worry about drinking in silence. If you’ve wandered in alone off the street, no fear. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding area. So if you’ve just landed and are trying to get the lay of the land, pull up a bar stool and chew the fat with one of the bartenders. This is a great place to grab some grub at the beginning of your night or for stumbling into later for that miracle hamburger which will grant you enough clarity to find your way home. Either way, it’ll be a hoot and maybe just maybe it will also be a holler.
