MoneyPenny

MoneyPenny is a harbourside bar and restaurant on the Honeysuckle boardwalk at 1 Honeysuckle Drive, with waterfront views and a relaxed cocktail-and-share-plates feel. It is one of the more genuinely dog-welcoming venues on the boardwalk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating along the boardwalk, where you get the waterfront outlook. The venue is known to put out custom dog beds and water for dogs, and it occasionally runs pet-friendly events. Indoors follows the usual food-venue rule, so keep dogs to the outdoor area.

Good to know. The draw is the open-air harbour setting, a broad cocktail list, and casual sharing plates such as dumplings, pizza and wings. It leans bar rather than quiet cafe, so expect a livelier crowd at peak times.

Getting there. It sits right on the boardwalk at 1 Honeysuckle Drive. Paid parking is at the nearby Wilson Parking on Honeysuckle Drive or metered along the street, and it is a short walk from the Newcastle Interchange.

Nearby with the dogs. The Honeysuckle boardwalk runs both ways for a walk, toward the CBD or the marina, with Foreshore Park nearby for green space. AJ's at Honeysuckle is another dog-friendly stop along the same stretch.
