The Dog House is a lively, eclectically decorated bar at 18–24 Clerk Street in Edinburgh's Newington, a short walk from the Old Town and the university. It bills itself as a place for the misfits, mixing live bands, DJ sets and open-mic nights across a broad sweep of styles — rock and roll, blues, folk, funk, soul, indie and alternative through to electronica and EDM — with the regular 'Underdog Jam' as its open jam session. Dog-friendly, with frozen cocktails and pub grub, it's a welcoming grassroots stage for original and covers acts in the city's south side.
