Tandara Hotel

The Tandara Hotel is a casual country pub on Broad Street in the centre of Sarina, and dogs are welcome in its outdoor areas. With a strong local following and hundreds of reviews behind it, it is a reliable feed-and-a-cold-drink stop when you are travelling with the dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden and seating areas, kept on-leash at all times. The indoor bar and dining rooms are off-limits, which is standard for a Queensland pub. Staff are used to travellers with dogs and will usually sort out a water bowl if you ask, though it is worth carrying your own travel bowl.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for generous pub classics: schnitzels, steaks and pizzas come up most often in reviews. There is also live sport on the big screens, trivia nights and the usual bar games, so it gets lively of an evening.

Getting there. The pub is central on Broad Street with free off-street parking on site, plus more free street parking along Broad Street.

Nearby with the dogs. The town's fenced dog park at Apex Park on Sichter Street is a few minutes away for a run before or after a meal, and Roots Collective Cafe is close by on Broad Street for a dog-friendly breakfast.

Warm afternoons in the beer garden suit it best. If you want a quieter meal with the dog settled, aim for earlier in the evening before the sport and trivia crowds build.
