Varsity Nedlands

Varsity Nedlands is an American-style sports bar and burger joint on Hampden Road, near UWA, with the outdoor alfresco area open to leashed dogs.

The rules. Dogs are permitted in the outdoor alfresco seating only, on a leash, under the City of Nedlands' dogs-in-public-places policy. Indoors is dining-only, no dogs. Staff are generally accommodating, but bring your own portable water bowl rather than relying on the venue for one.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for burgers, loaded fries and wings, and the venue leans into a bustling sports-bar vibe, big screens, pool tables, plenty of noise on game days.

Getting there. The address is 91-93 Hampden Road, Crawley. Street parking along Hampden Road is metered and watched closely, so check signage; quieter side streets nearby sometimes have a spot within a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. The Swan River foreshore near Crawley Edge Boatshed is a few minutes away for a walk before or after, and Kings Park is a short drive for a longer on-leash loop.

When to go. Weeknights are calmer for a dog under the table; big game days pack the outdoor area fast, so get there early if you want space to spread out a lead.
