Pet-friendly Newtown is filled with places where dogs and their humans can eat, drink, and play together

More on Newtown

Newtown is home to people who are happy to be and express themselves; where beings of all shapes and models mix freely — and that includes non-humans. There are lots of dog-friendly cafes and bars. Here are just a few: 

The Bank

324 King St

Right in the centre of Newtown, close to the station and the Enmore Rd/King St intersection, The Bank happily welcomes locals, visitors and doggies into their airy, spacious beer garden. Great food and friendly atmosphere and lots of other pups to play with. 

Young Henry’s

76 Wilford St

Get your pup on the leash and visit one of Newtown’s beer success stories. Young Henry’s brewery is a proud local craft brewer whose selection of beers can be found in pubs all over this city. It’s also a great place to hangout with friends and fur-babies. 

The Newtown Hotel

174 King St

This big country-style hotel on a corner welcomes canines with open arms. Dogs are allowed in every part of the venue — inside the front bar, out in the courtyard, or enjoying the view from one of the upper level balconies. Lots of terrific fun and entertainment to be had here. 

Uncanny

349 King St

A delightful little cocktail bar serving vegan Mediterranean tapas-style food and lots of warm vibes. Enjoy bespoke, artistic cocktails in the courtyard or inside (dogs allowed in both areas) while listening to the juke box and imbibing the funky decor. 

The Courthouse

202 Australia St

Just off the main strip, this Newtown institution has a famous beer garden that always sounds like a summer barbie. Bring your doggy and enjoy terrific food, chill sounds and a relaxed atmosphere. 

The Botany View

597 King St

Down “the other end” of Newtown, towards Sydney Park, the Botany View is a classic Aussie pub with pinball machines, pool tables, velvet sofas and armchairs, beer garden, balconies, retro chic and loads of charm. They welcome dogs with open paws.

Naked Brew Cafe

110 Swanson St, Erskineville

Newtown’s little sister, Erskineville, is host to lots of pet-friendly pubs and cafes, including this little gem. The menu features delicious, Instagrammable brekkie and lunch dishes for you, and their special Doggie Waffle for your furry friend.
