The Elephant British Pub

The Elephant is an authentic British pub on Cinema Place, the small lane off Rundle Street, with two dozen taps of English and Scottish beer and traditional pub food. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables in the laneway, which makes it an easy stop after a wander through the East End.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor seating in Cinema Place, not inside the pub. Settle your dog under the table out of the way of staff and other drinkers. City pubs often have water on hand, but bring a collapsible bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The draw is the beer: a long list of British staples like Old Speckled Hen and Tennent's alongside Guinness, plus classic pub grub such as fish and chips. The room is small, cosy and popular with both locals and visitors, so the laneway tables are the spot on a busy night.

Getting there and parking. The pub is at 1 Cinema Place, a lane between Rundle and Flinders Streets. On-street parking here is tight and pricey; the nearest secure options are UPark on Rundle (about a two-minute walk) or Wilson Parking on Hindmarsh Square. It is a short walk from Rundle Mall and the free city tram on North Terrace.

Nearby with the dogs. Rundle Park (Kadlitpina) is a five-to-ten minute walk east for a post-pub leg-stretch on the edge of the city parklands, and Rundle Street itself is an easy (if busy) stroll.

Go on a mild afternoon or early evening when the laneway tables are free; the indoor room fills quickly. A solid choice if you want a proper pint with the dog at your feet.
