It's funny how just going home to change out of work clothes and into good ol' jeans to meet a friend for dinner can be so refreshing - and it's even better going into a relaxing place where the bartender knows your name!
The food at Downward Dog (and next-door neighbor Cloud9) is always great, but it's a special treat when you can make it there during happy hour, when it's super inexpensive - and thus guilt-free!
I enjoyed a Caesar salad and bread, and my tab was under five bucks - an unbeatable deal.
I'll be looking for excuses to grab an after-work dinner at Downward Dog! And, if my daughter convinces me to take her along, the happy hour specials are also available next door at Cloud9.

The Downward Dog is attached to Cloud 9 and they are both run by Cloud Davidson so its got the same great drinks as cloud 9 but a more laid back atmosphere with booths and such. In addition to the great drinks and food I LOVE THE DECOR! Cloud also runs some great nightly specials for the Downward Dog so you don't have to break the bank to enjoy this place!
