The Peach Pit Bar

The Peach Pit Bar is two doors down from the Scarborough foreshore on The Esplanade, and it has built its reputation almost entirely on burgers: a rotating burger of the month, smash burgers, buffalo wings and mac and cheese bites keep the menu short and loud. Doors open from late morning most days, running later Thursday to Saturday, with the sunset side of the venue doing the heavy lifting and the ocean view doing the rest. It is a casual, high-turnover room rather than a long-sit dinner spot, which works in a dog's favour.

Dogs at The Peach Pit

The venue's own FAQ states dogs are welcome in the outdoor area, so this is a published policy you can plan around rather than a guess. The outdoor seating faces the beachfront, which makes it a natural stop after a walk along the Esplanade, and the casual menu means nobody minds crumbs. Standard rules of thumb still apply: keep your dog on a lead, off the furniture, and pick a table that gives you room when the strip fills up. Between the hours spread and the burger focus, it covers both a lazy lunch and an early dinner with the dog in tow.

Pair it with

Scarborough's foreshore makes the pairing easy: the beachfront paths run straight past the door, and the Abbett Park Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the pre-dinner energy dump. Nearby dog-tolerant food options include Drift Kitchen for breakfast and Lady Latte for coffee, while Trigg Dog Beach covers the proper swim further south.

Parking is the Esplanade multi-storey plus street spots along The Esplanade, and the venue gets busy from around 6pm on weekends, so early tables suit dog owners best. Friday opens unusually early at 7:30am, which the surf crowd uses, and the sunset-facing tables are the ones to time your arrival around. The rest of the state's options are on the WA pubs list and the Scarborough destination guide.

Pepsi: burgers outside with a sea breeze and the humans kept dropping chips, ten out of ten.
