General Havelock

The General Havelock, the Hav to regulars, is a historic pub at the lower end of Hutt Street that has leaned hard into being dog-friendly. Dogs are welcome in the sheltered courtyard and beer garden, and there is a proper dog menu, which makes it a comfortable spot for a long lunch with the dog along the Hutt Street strip.

The dog setup. Dogs settle with you in the covered outdoor dining areas and the beer-garden courtyard rather than inside the bar. The kitchen runs a dedicated dog menu (treats and a doggie bowl among them), so your dog can be catered for too. Keep your dog leashed and water on hand.

Good to know. Beyond the dog focus, it is a classic pub: pub favourites on the plate, live music, a fireplace for cool nights and big screens for the football. The crowd is local and easygoing, and the courtyard is the natural base with a dog.

Getting there and parking. The pub is at 162 Hutt Street. Metered street parking runs along Hutt Street and the side streets, so check the meters and time limits. Adelaide Metro buses run along Hutt Street, and the South Parklands are a few minutes away on foot.

Nearby with the dogs. The South Adelaide Parklands are a short walk for a pre- or post-pub run, and the cafe-lined length of Hutt Street is an easy stroll, with footpath water bowls common along the way.

Come for a relaxed weekend lunch in the courtyard, or a cosy evening by the fire with the dog beside you. A genuine dog pub rather than one that merely allows them.
