Wanna hot dog?

Regent Square is the East End's hidden gem of boutique goodness. Located in the southeast quadrant, it has set itself up as a border-town, offering a wide range of attractions. Frick Park is right around the corner and is a fantastic option for those weary of the urban noise and looking for a quiet walk in the woods. But if you're hungry, check out D's Six Pax & Dogz, located at 1118 S. Braddock Avenue.

As their name suggests, D's is known for their hot dog(z) and beer selection. They claim to have at least 1000 different beers, which are available in three ways; sit down and order a beer on tap (the selection changes day to day), enter the cold beer cave and choose between hundreds of different bottled beers, or go to the warm beer cave in the back where the decision-making becomes even more difficult. For those afraid of a commitment to just one beer, D's offers the mix-n-match option, which allows you to choose six different beers for your own custom six pack. Using a little math...and supposing there are 1000 different beers...the possible six pack combinations result in...using factorials...(1000!)/(6!(1000-6)!)...which is...well...a lot. D's doesn't short on hot dog options either; Chicago-style, veggie-style, bacon cheddar-style, corndog-style. And they're good.

While you're there, check out the mural on the wall. D's thing must be numbers. Quantity. The mural has hundreds of famous people drinking beer, eating hot dogz, or just enjoying their time at D's. From Franco Harris to Bob Dylan to Darth Vader to Bill Clinton to Santa Claus, they seem to have included just about anyone worth inclusion.

Go to D's, get some (1000s) beer, a dog, and walk along S. Braddock to explore the Regent Square goodness.

ps. The Regent Square side of Frick Park has clay tennis courts, if you're looking to host an amateur French Open. How cool is that?
