Our Story

The Grey Dog's journey began on a quiet West Village street called Carmine, where two brothers, Dave and Pete, decided to open a restaurant despite having no business experience or solid plan. Their mission was simple: create a place where people would want to be. With spirit and creativity, they transformed their little shop on 33 Carmine St. into a beloved local eatery, named after their dogs, Moose and Goose Lane. Today, The Grey Dog has grown to five neighborhood locations in Manhattan, each serving simple, wholesome American food, great beer, wine, and cocktails. Our team is a diverse group of artists, musicians, culinary pros, dancers, and students, all dedicated to serving you. The music might be a tad loud, and the portions might be generous, but that’s exactly how we like it.
