Hot dog hunters, assemble! Our continuing quest for the perfect hot dog takes us to Old North Bar, a warm, comfortable, newly remodeled watering hole with a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. Once home to the Accordion Bar, Old North offers a welcoming setting, a spacious outdoor patio, and a great place to gather with fellow members of our ever-hopeful hot dog expedition!
Our culinary candidates come courtesy of Hawk Dogs, serving hot dogs just out front of the bar. What's on the menu?
💜 The Purple Rain Dog — topped with signature bright, sweet purple slaw. It's colorful, it's distinctive, and it may be the only hot dog in town dressed better than we are!
🌶️ Chili Cheese Dogs — hearty, messy, and unapologetically delicious.
🌭 Classic Beef Hot Dogs — customized with mustard, relish, ketchup, or whatever combination makes your taste buds cheer.
🌭 Sausage Dogs — grilled, savory sausage links with plenty of satisfying snap!
Naturally, every serious investigation deserves proper refreshments. Old North offers crisp lagers, pale ales, highballs, tonics, Micheladas, sparkling wines, and nonalcoholic options such as ginger beer and lemonade. There's a pairing for nearly every palate!
Come hungry, bring your opinions, and enjoy good food and great company. Will one of these contenders claim the crown, or will our search continue?
