The Sound !!
This place started out life as a roller skating rink. Just down the hill from the Cliff House, and Sutro's, just before you get to Playland. It was an all wood building, and the sound here was real good. I lived very close to here on 42nd Ave, so I did spend a fair amount of time at this fine establishment. Many of the secrets of the Universe were revealed to me at Chet Helm's places...
The Location
The dear Dog was located right across from Ocean Beach and like buddy plant said - just down from the Cliff House and Sutro's. I was still missing the old ballrooms, the Filmore and the Avalon so the building wasn't what I was used to. The size was right thou, and I will have to look in the concert lists to see if I heard the Dead there but I do remember a really nice night when Country Joe & the Fish played. No one hung around the Filmore, the Avalon, Winterland or the Carousel after a concert but a lot of people headed for the beach and the big parking lot up at Sutro's with the great view of the ocean crashing on the rocks and ruins below after a concert at the Family Dog. Meanwhile, in the park.............
