The Barking Dog Ale House is a Haverhill restaurant located at 77 Washington Street. Their comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, with dimmed lights, high ceilings, and classy pub-like style can be appealing to all ages. Their four story building can accommodate all different groups; renting out the fourth floor for a family party, or sitting in a cozy booth with your family and friends. I was able to speak to Clem Martineau, general manager of the Barking Dog Ale House, to see what the local hit was all about.
The Barking Dog originated in Amesbury, and the owner has been in the restaurant business his entire life. Ironically, the name “The Barking Dog” was inspired by the owner’s two dogs. Throughout the years, the owner has remained the same and their mission has not changed: to provide the best product and experience they possibly can. Clem Martineau gave a lot of credit to the staff when it came to the key to their success. He says the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and they create a comfortable environment for their customers. He also mentioned that being located in Haverhill has great benefits; one being he finds that there is a lot support rather than competition between all the restaurants in downtown Haverhill.
Aside from the Barking Dog Ale House’s history and friendly wait staff, their food is a key factor in what keeps people coming back. Martineau says one of their most popular items on the menu is the mac‘n’cheese. Whether it’s buffalo chicken, chipotle, or your basic mac‘n’cheese with a side salad priced between $9.50 and $15 it can not be beat. They also have a variety of desserts you can enjoy after your delicious meal, such as the cinnamon bun sandwich, fudge lava cake, or red velvet cheesecake.
I recently made a visit to the Barking Dog Ale House for lunch. I was seated in a spacious booth, and was greeted by a friendly waiter. It was an extremely relaxed and casual environment and that is something a lot of people look for in a restaurant not just myself. I only had a glass of water for a beverage, but I ordered a chicken salad pita pocket with tomatoes, onions, and herb dressing with a side of french fries. It did not take long at all for my food to arrive, and it was hot and presented nicely. It was extremely tasty and is definitely one of my favorites at The Barking Dog Ale House.
