Dining
Fine comfort food is what we do. Our menu is an eclectic mix of international influences with an emphasis on bright, healthy, Mediterranean flavors, local favorites, and homespun classics. Chef Terri’s food draws from a rich culinary background: her Italian heritage, stints in some of New Orleans’ best kitchens, nearly two decades in catering, and a deep, nurturing love for feeding people.

The Red in Red Dog is all about the wine. We curated a fantastic list of small-production, boutique wines, and we’re serving it on tap and by the bottle. Don’t be fooled by the quirky list – these wines have serious chops! Call the restaurant for our most up-to-date wine menu offerings.
Of course, we’ve got beer and cocktails, too. We offer a selection of our favorite local and award-winning craft beers. Our craft cocktail menu is modest but premium, anchored by fresh ingredients, and features a few New Orleans-inspired drinks created with our house-made infusions.
COCKTAILS
That B*tch Katrina
Before Katrina, hurricanes were just another excuse to cancel classes and throw a party. That b*tch was a game changer! House-infused Cruzan rum with cranberries, apricots, house candied lemons, passionfruit, pomegranate and strawberries.
El Röcco
Rõcco is a stubborn, strong-willed & often aloof pain in the ass but, damn, he makes one hell of a margarita!
My Drinking is Only a Problem For You
This version of Irish coffee is served frozen, sometimes slushy. It has also been called “The Dublin Doozy”, a.k.a. “The Shamrock Lushy Slushy”, a.k.a. “The Lit Leprechaun” a.k.a. “The Galway Get Gone Girl”. Made with coconut nectar cream & coco flakes. Seriously, come on, just give me the damn drink already!
Ohld Fashound (öld faSHend)
A smooth, stiff drink that will leave you with a ridge on your back and a smile on your face. Basil Hayden infused with Bing cherries, homemade candied oranges and bitters.
The Lemon Immigrant
Fresh, muddled lemonade made with Tito’s vodka, and yes, Texas is its own country. How else do you explain Dallas Cowboy fans?
Little Red Dog
“The Sweet Nectar of the Dogs!” Strawberry jam & port wine infused vodka with bubbles and citrus.
The Jammin Julep
Makers 46, homemade pineapple jam, mint. This is our jam!
Sofia King Good Peachy Tea
A whole bunch of sh*t infused with homemade rosemary peach jam. The perfect libation for a dog day afternoon spent laying around the porch and reminiscing about old times spent chasing your tail.
Hair of the Red Dog
We take all the veggies from our kitchen, squeeze, strain and blend. Add a healthy serving of vodka and a plethora of house-pickled garnishes. Available in two sizes of sweet deliciousness.
Early Bird Gets the Whiskey
Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey, coffee, coconut sugar whipped cream. For those of you who never “got” Irish coffee ... you will now!
Moose’s Magnificent Mimosa
Sparkling riesling, orange Julius and strawberry puree. Moose left us earlier than he should have. Tradition requires you to pour a little out for our boy and down the rest.
Ginny Hendricks
On their own, cucumber & grapefruit mostly suck. Combine them with Hendrick’s gin and a little of this and a little of that and before you know it ... boom! You’re hammered.
Pappy's Ole Cough Syrup
You fellas been doing a bit of boozing have ya? Suckin' back grandpa's old cough medicine? Knob Creek 100-proof, honey, lemon, served on the rocks
