Moonee Beach Hotel

Moonee Beach Hotel is a big, casual pub on the Coffs Coast that has built a genuine reputation as a dog-friendly local, not just a place that tolerates them. The outdoor Beer Garden and Big Top area are large enough for a leashed dog to settle in comfortably while you eat, and there is even a dog wash station by the bottle shop.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome on lead throughout the outdoor Beer Garden, the Big Top area and surrounding outdoor seating. Indoor dining areas are off limits, which is standard for a food venue. Water bowls are provided outside, and the on-site dog wash station is handy after a beach visit.

Known for. A lively family pub with an undercover playground, mini-golf and regular live music. It is one of the most-mentioned dog-friendly pubs in the Coffs Harbour area, and a courtesy bus runs from nearby spots including Reflections Caravan Park.

Getting there. The hotel is on Moonee Beach Rd with a large free on-site car park.

Nearby with the dogs. Moonee Beach Reserve and Moonee Creek are both close by for a walk or a swim before or after the pub, and Reflections Moonee Beach Holiday Park is a short walk away.

Go for a late lunch on a weekday if you want the Beer Garden quieter. Weekends with live music get busy fast, so arrive early to grab a table if your dog prefers space to settle.
