View detailsHow to choose a dog-friendly venue
- Check where dogs can sit. White Cockatoo Hotel in Petersham allows dogs in its two outdoor courtyards only, Harbord Hotel in Freshwater in the courtyard only, and Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel in the lower beach club area only.
- Check for time limits. The Albion Hotel in Parramatta asks that dogs leave by 8pm.
- Bring a bowl. Only 5 of the 16 list water bowls.
- Most listings are pubs and breweries rather than cafés. Venue rules change, so check the venue's own page, linked from each listing, if you are unsure.
