Paddy Malone's

Paddy Malone's is a busy, authentic Irish pub on Grand Boulevard in Joondalup, big on hearty food, live music and a lively room. For dog owners the useful part is the outdoor seating along the Grand Boulevard footpath, which you can reach straight from the street without going through the indoor bar.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor footpath seating, settled under the tables. Access is direct from the pavement, so you skip the crowded bar. Staff are known to be dog-friendly, with reports of a treat coming your dog's way, but bring your own water bowl to be sure.

Good to know. It trades on big portions of traditional Irish fare, the beef and Guinness pie, stew and steak sandwich among them, with live music at weekends, trivia and karaoke, and a happy hour on the Guinness from around 4 to 5pm. The room gets loud when the music is on, so a noise-sensitive dog is better suited to a quieter afternoon.

Getting there. 13/115 Grand Boulevard, Joondalup 6027. There is free street parking along Grand Boulevard and the side streets, plus larger public car parks a short walk away near the library and courthouse. It is a short walk from Joondalup Station.

Nearby with the dogs. The Joondalup city streets are clean and walkable for a leashed stroll. For off-leash running, the Elcar Park fenced dog park is close by in the CBD.

Best for a relaxed afternoon rather than a loud gig night. Good for a dog that settles happily under the table in a busy street-side spot.
