The Cornish Arms Hotel

The Cornish Arms Hotel is a lively, well-known pub in the heart of Brunswick on Sydney Road, famous for its big vegan menu and a welcoming attitude to dogs. The downstairs courtyard is the spot to aim for.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the downstairs courtyard and beer garden and generally at the footpath seating out front. They are not allowed on the rooftop, except assistance animals, so plan to stay downstairs. The Cornish is genuinely dog-keen and often has treats at the bar. The courtyard is spacious but gets busy, so keep the dog on a lead.

Good to know. Best known for an extensive vegan menu including parmas, pizzas and a vegan HSP, with live music and trivia nights. Staff are consistently reviewed as welcoming to pets.

Getting there. Easy access on the 19 tram along Sydney Road. Street parking is competitive; check side streets like Percival Street or Dawson Street, and consider the tram on a busy Friday or Saturday night.

Nearby with the dogs. Nearby parkland is good for a walk first, and Sydney Road has plenty of dog-friendly footpath traffic to explore.

Calmer in the afternoon than the evening. Suits a sociable dog comfortable in a busy courtyard.
