Meeple and Mug - board game cafe

Meeple and Mug is a board game cafe and bar on Hardgrave Road in West End, popular for its game library alongside coffee and cocktails. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard, making it a reasonable stop if you want a casual drink with your dog while friends game inside.

The dog setup: Dogs are generally permitted in the outdoor seating area at the front of the venue. Indoor seating is set up for board gaming, so plan on the courtyard with your dog rather than inside. Keep dogs leashed and under control. Water bowls are sometimes available, but bring your own to be safe.

Good to know: The venue is known for its extensive board game collection, full bar and cocktail list, and cafe-style food menu, and it's a popular spot for date nights and group hangs.

Getting there and parking: The cafe is at 63 Hardgrave Road, West End. Parking is mostly on-street along Hardgrave Road and surrounding residential streets, so check the signs as it can get busy. The 199 bus route stops nearby, under 100 metres away.

Nearby with the dogs: Orleigh Park is a short walk or drive away with river views and open space for a walk before or after your visit. Hardgrave Road and Boundary Street have several other dog-friendly cafes nearby if you want to make a crawl of it.
