Tail o' the Pup, Novelty architecture hot dog stand in West Hollywood, United States
The restaurant building measures 12 feet in length and features a giant hot dog structure at the entrance where customers place their orders.
The structure first opened in 1946 on La Cienega Boulevard and moved several times before settling at its current location on Santa Monica Boulevard in 2022.
The establishment holds status as a Los Angeles cultural landmark, representing mid-20th century programmatic architecture where buildings reflected the products they sold.
The restaurant serves various hot dog combinations, burgers, fries, and beverages, with outdoor seating areas covered by red and white striped awnings.
The building previously served as a recording studio for The Doors, commemorated by a plaque in the upstairs section of the restaurant.
