The 7th Ave Bar & Restaurant

The 7th Ave Bar & Restaurant on Helena Street is a busy Midland pub with a full food menu, craft beer and wine, and alfresco seating front and back where dogs are genuinely welcome.

The setup. Dogs are permitted in both the front and back alfresco dining areas, not inside the main bar and dining room. Both outdoor sections have shaded seating, useful for a longer sit over lunch.

Water and treats. Water bowls are put out for visiting dogs. Keep dogs leashed and well-behaved, as it gets busy, particularly with live music on.

Known for. Hearty pub food, generous portions, steak sandwiches, chilli mussels and bangers and mash come up often, plus a relaxed neighbourhood feel that draws a big local crowd.

Getting there. It's on Helena Street in central Midland, a short walk from Midland train station. Street parking is available directly out front and along nearby streets, though it can fill up during busy meal times and live music sessions.

When to go. A weekday lunch in the alfresco area is the easiest, quieter option. If you're after the live music atmosphere, book ahead and expect a busier, louder outdoor area.
