The Best Dog Friendly Pubs / Bars in Melbourne

We have listed over a 100 dog friendly pubs & bars in Melbourne welcoming your dog in their beer garden or other outdoor areas. However, when the weather does not allow you to sit outside, where do you go?

Don’t worry, we have a solution for you! There are 13 pubs and 4 breweries in Melbourne allowing dogs inside. There would be many more if all of the councils would be a little more understanding to our pups. To make a permanent change to the legislation to allow dogs indoors into pups, please sign the petition here!

If we missed any pubs in our list please let us know, we are more than happy to try and add them in 🙂

Enough said, here are the 17 super dog friendly pubs/breweries in Melbourne allowing dogs inside in the front bar -public bar (in an alphabetical order)
