I absolutely love taking my girl out with me, and it's so exciting to find cafes and bars who are not just pet friendly, but super welcoming!
Here's our top 7, welcoming, dog friendly venues (in no particular order).
Whistle and Flute
Cafe & Bar - Greenhill Rd, Unley | whistleandflute.com.au | @whistle_n_flute
What we love
Whistle and Flute have a fully enclosed, yet, outdoor set up which feels indoors, meaning your dog can enjoy the full cafe/bar experience too.. and you can both stay warm!
Bacchus Bar
Restaurant and Bar - Henley Beach | facebook.com/bacchushenley| @bacchushenleybeach
What we love
Watch the sunset behind the beach from your table at Bacchus Bar, or people watch during the day all while your pup enjoys his favourite treat from the special K9 Menu. Pop him in the Pooch Park, or have him sit with you! This really is a set up that welcomes your dogs!
Oh and did we mention they have an Instagram dedicated to their doggo visitors! Yep- @barkatbacchus
Archie & Co.
Specialty Coffee, Retail Space and Hairdresser - Adelaide CBD | facebook.com/archiecohair | @archieco_
What we love
This space has such a great vibe. Browse for mid-century home wares, get a new (hair) do, or stop by for the perfect cup.. all with your pup by your side.
Smiling Samoyed Brewery
Brewery - Myponga | smilingsamoyed.com.au | @smilingsamoyed
What we love
We all love a road trip and isn't it even better when we find the best dog-friendly venues along the way? Just 45 minutes south of Adelaide, Smiling Samoyed is a must-stop on your Fleurieu day out! Plus, you'll get to cuddle the brewery pups.. Mia and Hoppy, who are Samoyeds of course!
West Beach Surf Life Saving Club
Surf Club - West Beach | westbeachslsc.com.au | @westbeachsurflifesavingclub
What we love
Once you've finished playing on the beach, head up to the West Beach Surf Life Saving Club. The outdoor deck overlooks the water, and the super friendly staff are sure to serve your dog before you! Your order course is supporting the club, so enjoy that pint, guilt-free.
Whipped Bake Bar Cafe
Cafe - Semaphore | whippedcafe.com.au | @whippedbakebarcafe_
What we love
Push open the side gate and head down the lane-way to the dog-friendly deck out the back! The outdoor eating area is open to all dogs (on a leash) - large and small - and there is always plenty of fresh water available.
Little Bang Brewing Company
Micro Brewery - Stepney | littlebang.com.au | @littlebangbrewing
What we love
This brewery has one of my favourite fit-outs in Adelaide, but their Beer Garden is where it's at- especially if you're taking your dog! Complete with a couple of golf holes, lawn bowls, and quoits- there's fun to be had in the sun for all! Their week kicks off Thursday nights for Quiz night and they have regular food truck visits on weekends.
Capture these memories
If your typical weekend includes a coffee or wine with your pup by your side and you’d love to have those memories captured, get in touch! I’d love to design your perfect photoshoot with you!
