Old Noarlunga Hotel

The Old Noarlunga Hotel is a renovated country pub in the historic township of Old Noarlunga, with a beer garden that welcomes dogs on-leash. Dog setup: dogs are allowed on the verandah and in the beer garden until 5pm daily. The main dining room and indoor bar are dog-free. The beer garden has a retractable roof plus heating and cooling, so it works in most weather, and there's a living fern wall that keeps it shaded on hot days.

Good to know: the pub is known for its modern pub menu (gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options included), a beer garden with regular live music on Fridays and Sunday afternoons, and a relaxed local crowd. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, staff don't always have one to hand for outdoor tables.

Getting there: it's at 12 Patapinda Road, just off Main South Road on the way to McLaren Vale, with a large on-site car park.

Nearby with the dogs: the Onkaparinga River National Park has on-leash walking trails close by, and Varney Wines is a short drive away if you want to make a day of it.

Head over before 5pm if you want the beer garden option, and check ahead for live music nights if you'd rather a quieter visit with the dog.
