BMG Cowboys

BMG Cowboys is a western-themed country bar in central Surfers Paradise, built around live music, line dancing, a mechanical bull and pool tables. It is listed as a pet-friendly venue, with dogs welcome in the outdoor areas rather than the indoor bar.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck and courtyard seating, not inside the air-conditioned room. Keep your dog leashed and beside you, and under the control of someone over 17. Water is usually available on request, but bring your own bowl to be safe.

Good to know. It is a loud, lively spot known for country music, dancing and casual pub-style food and drinks. That energy is part of the appeal, so it suits confident dogs and is not the place for a nervous one.

Getting there. The venue sits in the heart of Surfers Paradise. The G:link tram stop at Cavill Avenue is a short walk away, and paid street parking and parking stations are nearby. It is easy to reach on foot if you are staying centrally.

Nearby with the dogs. There are riverside and beachfront walking paths close by for a stroll before or after. Check local signage for on-leash and off-leash times near the beach.

Best earlier in the evening before the crowd and music peak. Good for social, unflappable dogs.
