Murphy's Irish Pub

Murphy's Irish Pub sits right on the Mandurah Terrace boardwalk, and dogs are welcome in the covered alfresco area facing the water. That waterfront leash-friendly setup, plus dog beers at the bar, is the reason to bring the dog here rather than leave them home.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the boardwalk alfresco dining area, not inside. The space is covered with ceiling fans, so there is shade on a hot afternoon. Keep your dog leashed and settled under the table; the bar even sells "Bad to the Bone" dog beers if you want to spoil them.

Good to know. It is a traditional Irish pub with the expected Guinness pies, lamb shanks and big serving sizes, and live music on weekends can make the alfresco lively. A nervous dog may prefer a quieter weekday visit.

Getting there and parking. The pub is at 45 Mandurah Terrace, with free parking to the side and rear. The whole venue is wheelchair accessible, so a level walk-up with the dog is easy.

Nearby with the dogs. The Eastern Foreshore Reserve runs right alongside, with grassed areas and a long waterside path for a walk before or after your meal. Seasonal Mandjar Markets set up on the foreshore nearby.

When to go. Weekday lunch or an early evening is calmest. Come on a band night only if your dog is happy in a crowd.
