Pasadena-based sports bar brand Dog Haus has multiple locations on the way to the Nashville market. Franchise owner Michael Deak is bringing two locations — one in East Nashville and one in Franklin — to the area this fall, as previously reported by What Now Nashville. However, Deak also has plans for a third location in Smyrna, which is slated to open in early 2026, according to Restaurant News.
Dog Haus offers hot chicken sandwiches, sliders, burgers, sausages and hot dogs, all served on King’s Hawaiian rolls. Each location offers 24 beers on tap as well as a cocktail list.
The locations will all offer plenty of TVs for sports viewing and outdoor games for customers to enjoy.
Founded by Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz and André Vener, Dog Haus launched in 2010 in Pasadena, Calif. It now has more than 50 locations across the country, with a strong presence in states like California and Texas. The popular sports bar franchise has drawn attention from celebrities like Jake Paul, who is one of the franchisees for the brand.
Deak’s locations will be the brand’s first foray into the Tennessee market.
