Dog Haus Biergarten Old Pasadena Unveils Newly Remodeled Restaurant

Dog Haus’ original Biergarten in Old Pasadena, which opened in 2011, has undergone a complete transformation and will reopen its doors to the public on Friday, Aug. 2. The craft casual concept, known for its gourmet hot dogs, sausages, burgers and one-of-a-kind creations, will further elevate its guest experience by serving all-new cocktails alongside its praised menu offerings within its renovated modern industrial space.

Dog Haus Biergarten Old Pasadena is celebrating its reopening with a Free Haus Dog Day on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 11 a.m. to midnight. During the celebration, guests can enjoy a *FREE Haus Dog from a selection of seven signature creations, featuring all beef handcrafted dogs with premium toppings, served on grilled King’s Hawaiian rolls. *Guests must download and scan the Dog Haus app to redeem.

“Dog Haus has had the incredible opportunity to serve the Old Pasadena community for more than eight years, but we knew that it was time for an upgrade in order to enhance our guests’ experience,” said General Manager Arjun Multani. “We’re thrilled to reopen and show off all of the improvements. Our first month back in business is going to be full of fun activations. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!”

Located at 93 E. Green St., Dog Haus’ improvements include an updated interior with double the number of taps and triple the number of seats at the bar, and it will also have an all-new cocktail program handcrafted by Phil Wills, as seen on Bar Rescue. Wills has a long-established relationship with Dog Haus, beginning when he was originally brought on to help create and design the bar program for the very first Dog Haus Biergarten in 2011.

The new space also includes more exposed brick and new furniture and fixtures using reclaimed wood and hot-rolled

“From the new bar with Phil’s cocktail program to the modernized furniture, every part of this remodel is sure to give guests an upgraded dining experience,” said Dog Haus Co-Founder Quasim Riaz. “Having been the first Dog Haus Biergarten established, we felt it was time for a remodel, and we can’t wait to see the response.”

Dog Haus Biergarten Old Pasadena will be open Saturday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight and Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.

Dog Haus Biergarten Old Pasadena is part of a major expansion for the Dog Haus brand, which launched its first location in Pasadena, Calif. in 2010. With more than 30 stores currently open and over 10 in development across the country, Dog Haus continues to claim its stake in the craft casual world as a haus-hold name, with unique and chef-inspired handcrafted dogs, sausages and burgers paired with inspired toppings, all served on grilled King’s Hawaiian rolls.
