Landsborough Pub QLD

The Landsborough Hotel is a classic country pub on Maleny Street that leans genuinely dog-friendly, welcoming well-behaved dogs in its designated areas rather than just tolerating them at the door. That, plus a walkable location and a proper pub menu, makes it an easy stop after a hinterland walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the pub's designated dog-friendly areas, including the outdoor and beer garden spaces, and the venue is known locally for being relaxed about dogs joining you for a meal. Keep your dog on lead to manage other dogs and patrons, and confirm on the day which sections are in use, as pub layouts and rules shift with events and service. Water bowls are provided, and staff have been known to hand out a treat at the bar.

Good to know. It runs as a traditional country pub with pub classics, a steak sandwich, rump, parmigiana, and regular live music in the beer garden. With well over a thousand reviews it is a busy community local, so expect atmosphere rather than a quiet corner.

Getting there. At 40 Maleny Street in the centre of town, with street parking along Maleny Street and the side streets. It is within walking distance of Landsborough train station and a short drive off Steve Irwin Way.

Nearby with the dogs. Pioneer Park and its fenced dog park are a short walk or drive for a run, and the Ewen Maddock Dam tracks are close by for a pre-pub on-lead stroll.

When to go. A weekend lunch or an early weekday afternoon is the calmer window; band nights in the beer garden get lively, which suits a social dog more than an anxious one.
