Dog-friendly pubs in Melbourne

Dogs are always welcome at the spor ts-loving Palace Hotel (Time Out’s 2016 Pub of the Year); they even have a resident pooch, Billy the Staffy. 

Republica Dogs love the beach, so chill out in this sandy St Kilda cour tyard with your pup day or night before you hit the water. 

Neighbourhood bars are as essential to a community as a the local pub or chip shop, so it’s no surprise that when Fitzroy Nor th’s Monty’s opened locals welcomed it like an old friend. Happily, they also welcome man’s best friend. 

Enjoy a cocktail and a cupcake on Madame’s AstroTur f balcony overlooking the city without leaving your furr y friend behind. Well- behaved pups are welcome during the day.  

Party inside while the dogs par ty outside. There are water bowls and they can chill out on the wooden boxes along the path. 

Dogs are welcome to come along while you sink a few of the 22 varieties of craft beer on tap in the lush garden.

Bring your pup with you for a casual mid-week beer and a classic pub meal in the open cour tyard of this Collingwood institution. 

Your furry mate will love hanging around the beer garden and people- watching through the fence into the backstreets of Fitzroy.
