Hotel Railway Brunswick

Hotel Railway is a modern, casual neighbourhood pub on Albert Street, just off the Sydney Road bustle in Brunswick. It earns its keep with dog owners through a large courtyard and, in season, a dog meal on the menu.

The dog setup. Leashed dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden and courtyard. Staff are accommodating and water bowls are typically on hand. The pub has run a $10 doggy parma, a chicken schnitzel with a side salad, on its specials, though confirm it is running when you book. The courtyard is roomy and suits a sunny afternoon.

Good to know. The kitchen does comfort food, with local beers and craft cocktails, multiple TVs for the footy, and weekly events including DJs on Saturdays.

Getting there. Street parking is available but limited, especially in the evenings. The 19 tram on Sydney Road is a short walk, with local buses nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. Gilpin Park is a short, leafy walk for a pre-pub run, and the quiet residential streets around Albert Street are easy for a stroll.

Best on a fine afternoon in the courtyard. A relaxed option for most dogs.
