Colliery Inn Wallsend NSW

The Colliery Inn is one of Wallsend's oldest pubs, on the corner of Cowper and Metcalfe Streets, with a bistro menu, weekly specials and live music on Sundays. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden, which makes it a solid stop for a pub meal without leaving the dog at home.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor beer garden but not inside the main bar or bistro area. Staff are generally accommodating outdoors, though it is worth bringing your own water bowl rather than relying on the venue for one.

Known for. Classic pub fare including schnitzels, a Sunday roast and rump steak, plus a meat raffle, trivia nights and live music. There is boutique accommodation upstairs, but pets are not permitted in the hotel rooms.

Getting there. The pub is at 39 Cowper Street, Wallsend NSW 2287. On-street parking is available along Cowper Street and the surrounding residential streets, with easy level access from the footpath into the beer garden.

Nearby with the dogs. Jesmond Park is a short drive away for a walk before or after your meal, and other cafes along Nelson Street in Wallsend offer outdoor seating, though confirm their pet policy on the day.

Good for a relaxed pub lunch or a Sunday roast with the dog at your feet in the beer garden, just don't expect to bring them past the bar.
