DOG FRIENDLY CAFES, PUBS, BARS & BREWERIES
1. Kelby’s
293 Marrickville Road
Dog friendly Kelby’s Café is not just a café, it’s our craft. We built this from the ground up. Everything you see and taste has been carefully selected and infused with love.

Committed to community and quality, they offer both local and online shopping experiences, ensuring every visit is more than just a purchase—it’s a part of our shared story. Dogs are welcome downstairs at the bar / store (inside and out)!
3. Where’s Nick
236 Marrickville Road
Where’s Nick was established to share their love for interesting drinks, challenge the culture of exclusivity and elitism in the wine world, and encourage people to think about what they are drinking and where it comes from. The wine list favours small producers, sustainable farming and minimal intervention winemaking. By way of introducing a little more nuance into the conversation around natural wine, they like to list unassuming or lesser known producers who may fly under the radar of the current zeitgest alongside the cult and collectable superstars.
Wine should surprise and delight, so leave your assumptions at the door. Dogs are welcome on the terrace or by the window tables inside. Remember to compliment your glass if vino with one of the amazing Roo Chews for your furry friend.
4. Miss Wolf
285 Marrickville Road
Dog friendly bar Miss Wolf, run by a local Marrickvillian Max Malcolm, is a small & cozy spot serving great wine and beer.

5. Titus Jones
