Get ready, Nashville. Dog Haus is on its way! The craft-casual spot, known for its loaded burgers, brats, and an extensive beer selection, is opening three new locations in Middle Tennessee.
The first will land in East Nashville this fall, with Franklin following later in the year and Smyrna opening early 2026.
So, what makes Dog Haus different? Think beyond food! Each location will have 24 taps of Tennessee craft beer, 20+ TVs for game days, an outdoor firepit, shuffleboard, beer pong, and more. Basically, it’s a hangout spot built for both locals and visitors who want good food and good vibes.
Franchise owner Michael Deak is the guy bringing Dog Haus here. He actually started out managing a Dog Haus location years ago before diving into franchising with Jet’s Pizza and Tropical Smoothie Café around Tennessee.
“The quality ingredients and innovative menu were the biggest draws to becoming a Dog Haus franchisee,” he said. “With family in California, I’ve experienced Dog Haus many times over the years. Bringing the concept to Nashville feels like the perfect next step.”
Dog Haus got its start in California back in 2010 and has earned a big reputation for its Black Angus burgers, gourmet hot dogs, fried chicken creations, and plant-based options — all stacked onto grilled King’s Hawaiian rolls. Add in their craft cocktails, lively design, and party-style atmosphere, and you can see why people are obsessed.
Stay tuned for opening information as we have it.
