After a few months of anticipation, British pub and grill The Dogs Bollocks is set to open at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 17, according to a sign (or should I say a placard?) in the window at 2321 N. Murray Ave.

As Maureen Post reported here back in January, the place is run by Tony Wright, owner of Shorewood's BritInn.

"My original plan with the BritInn was to open four British pubs in six years in the Milwaukee area. We're two and half years into the BritInn and The Dogs Bollocks will be the first additional pub," Wright told Post.

"At the BritInn, we've gone with a more Americanized menu because of the neighborhood. I plan to start with a fully British menu at The Dogs Bollocks and get people hooked on British food," Wright says.

Because it's about a 12-second walk from our offices, we here at OnMilwaukee.com are hoping this place is great and long-lived.
