What visitors mention
The Dogs Bar at 54 Acland Street is a long-running, laid-back wine bar that has built dog-friendliness into its name and its reputation. It is one of the easier inner-Melbourne venues to bring a dog along to, with live music and share plates on offer.
The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the front deck and footpath seating, and are frequently allowed inside, where staff have been known to put out dog beds and water. Late afternoon is a good time to settle in and find a comfortable spot for both of you.
Good to know. The bar is known for regular free live music, an Australian-leaning wine list, and modern pub food including share plates and house charcuterie. It has been picked out among Melbourne's better dog-friendly drinking spots.
Getting there. The route 16 and 96 trams stop nearby on Acland Street. Street parking on Acland Street and the side streets is limited, with paid lots within walking distance near Luna Park and the beach.
Nearby with the dogs. Acland Street's cafe strip, St Kilda Beach and the St Kilda Botanic Gardens are all within an easy walk.
