I'm guessing that The Pug gets most of its business from Toki Underground customers as they're the focal point of many reviews due to Toki's lack of signage. Because we had a short wait to dine at Toki, we came here for some cocktails. ATMOSPHERE: It's a gloomy, neighborhood-type hole-in-the-wall bar. Décor is a mishmash of anything goes and garage sale items, including the ripped booth cushions we sat on. It just felt dirty all over. MENU: A small selection of beers, mixed drinks, canned wine and spirits. No food was served but a snack vending machine was available if you're desperate, which our friend was as he bought a spread for the table, LOL. BEVERAGE: No bottle wine was served but they did have one canned wine left which was The Infinite Monkey Theorem's brand (based in Denver, CO and Austin, TX) of White Wine. No complaints here as it tasted like it came out of a bottle. Drinking it out of a can was very natural to the senses as well. Because one drink wasn't enough for me, I went back and spotted the Fugu-brand of canned drinks on display. Excited, I asked for one of the two but they were both out. Come on!? Take it off the display shelf then! I ended up with a forgettable domestic-branded beer. SERVICE: Oh boy, where do I start? The sole male bartender/waiter/bus boy had no personality or service mannerisms. While he wasn't mean, he just came across as unfriendly and really didn't want to be there. I'm sure he saw us eating our vending machine snacks and using coasters as plates in which he could've brought us some napkins, but no. TIP: Unfinished drinks were okay to take upstairs to Toki Underground. OVERALL: If Toki ever expands with a bar, this place would suffer, but I'm sure they have their regulars.

Dive bar extraordinaire! The Pug rules! It even has choices made In Austin, can't beat that. Got a pug? Visit the Pug!

It is small and perfect. This place is so easy to walk by. It looks like a dive bar that invites trouble. What a surprise to get the best noodles in all of DC. The kimchi fresh and spicy. The soup hot and plentiful. The appetizers are well sized. The atmosphere is interesting and grim, but the smiles of the servers brighten up this place. I was lucky enough to get a window seat, but I went after the lunch rush. The menu is small, but so complete. Try all the beverages because they are interesting and really good.

The Pug was one of the first of many bars and restaurants that would open on H Street in the mid-2000s. The community is constantly evolving, but whenever the Whole Foods opens and the Streetcar finally starts running, here's hoping The Pug will stay the same awesome, divey, late-night joint that made H Street the neighborhood I'll miss the most from my 13 years in DC. Also: there's food upstairs at the ramen place, but the cheese balls are awesome.

The foods is excellent ramen with kimchi! It's heaven!! Recommend you all go there and eat!! It's small spot but drink and foods is top overall!
