Following the untimely death of partner Sean Kilbane, Happy Dog partners Eric Williams and Sean Watterson placed on hold their plans to open a second Happy Dog in University Circle, in the historic Euclid Tavern.

“Kilbane was the heart and soul of the Happy Dog, a huge advocate for the Cleveland music scene and a great friend,” Williams said at the time. “He will be deeply missed and the Happy Dog will do its best to continue his legacy.”

Well, plans are again moving forward to open an East Side location of Happy Dog, confirm the partners.

Look for a late summer opening.
