Fabbrica 

Good news, friends. If you and your pooch happen to find yourself in the CBD with a raging appetite, Fabbrica is ready to serve up the goods. During the week pop in for lunch and enjoy handmade pasts, sandwiches and soup or book in for dinner to taste your way through their more extensive dinner menu. Dishes include arancini, fried artichoke with salsa verde, burrata with peperonata and more. Your pup is welcome to join you dining outside but might have to wait until you get home for their feast.

Yulli's Brews is the ultimate dog-friendly pub. Dogs are free to plonk themselves down in any area of the brewery and at any time of day. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of a taste, Yulli's brew some of the best beers in Australia alongside tasty vego bites so you're in for a treat. They host a jazz night of a Thursday evening which is an absolute ball but vibes (and doggo attendance) is highest on a Sunday. A great place to meet fellow dog lovers!
