Lola's Pergola Darwin

Lola's Pergola sits right on the Cullen Bay marina in Larrakeyah, a colourful, tropical-themed bar and pizza spot with sprawling outdoor seating and water views. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, making it a solid pick for a marina-side lunch or sunset drink with your dog in tow.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor, pet-friendly tables overlooking the marina, not inside the main dining room. The patio has concrete and deck flooring with plenty of room for a dog to settle beside your chair. Staff are generally accommodating, but bring your own water bowl as one isn't guaranteed to be on hand.

Good to know. Expect a lively, casual crowd drawn by pizzas, cocktails, the house Lola Beer and the harbour views, especially at sunset. Dogs should be well socialised and kept on a leash given the busy public deck. It's worth calling ahead to confirm a pet-friendly table, particularly on weekends.

Getting there. The venue is in the Cullen Bay Marina complex on Marina Blvd, with free public parking right around the precinct. The Cullen Bay foreshore path is right outside for a stretch of the legs before or after your meal.

Go for a late afternoon table to catch the marina at sunset, when the outdoor deck is at its best. Confirm the pet-friendly table when booking, since availability on the deck can be tight during peak sunset hours.
