Dog Friendly Pubs, Bars & Breweries

1. The Bank

Dog friendly pub The Bank Hotel offers a vast array of option to suit all. Situated on the bustling hub of King Street by Newtown Station, The Bank is a master of late night venues and a Newtown institution. Although you can’t see it from the street, locals know that in past the public bar the sprawling venue hides Newtown’s best dog friendly beer garden and an outdoor terrace.

2. The Courthouse

202 Australia Street

As soon as you walk in to The Courty, you will understand why it has been the local dog owners favourite spot for years. Dogs are welcome everywhere and they are surely going to meet other furry friends and receive heaps of attention from the staff.

The Courty pays tribute to its location on Australia Street: the walls are decorated with a massive coat of arms and an Aussie flag. The Sydney Swans vest is indicative of the massive ‘Swannies’ fan base at the pub, who pack the pub to watch the AFL games on the screens.

On any given day, locals, students, firemen, plumbers and artists will be enjoying a beer at the bar. The Bistro menu is brimming with old favourites such as the Courty Burger and the Chicken Parmigiana. The 19th century hotel has the prettiest and most spacious courtyard in Newtown, offering a tranquil getaway from the noise and bustle of King Street

And as the icing on top, dog friendly off leash area on Camperdown Memorial Rest Park is literately only a few paw steps away.
