Dog-Friendly Restaurants and Bars in Brisbane

An independent brewery on the north bank of the Brisbane River, tucked directly beneath the Story Bridge cliffs, with a huge riverside lawn where dogs stretch out while the CityCats slide past. It is the single easiest place in Brisbane to spend an afternoon with a large dog, because the grass is open, shaded in parts and separated from the road.

A clifftop restaurant on the Kangaroo Point escarpment where the seating is entirely outdoors but fully covered, looking across the river to the City Botanic Gardens and the CBD skyline. Because there is no indoor room to be excluded from, a dog sits with you at any table rather than at the edge of the terrace.

A small corner beer and gin bar in West End whose name stands for bar of social conscience, with a share of profits going to charity. It is one of the few Brisbane venues where a dog is allowed inside, on the hardwood floor or on the couch, rather than being parked at an outdoor table.
