The Raven Hotel

The Raven Hotel is a local pub on the corner of Montague Road and Raven Street in West End, with a speakeasy-style vault inside and a roomy undercover patio out the back. It is genuinely dog-friendly, to the point of running the occasional dog event.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, undercover patio. Indoors is people only, but the covered patio is spacious enough to settle in whatever the weather. Water bowls and treats are often around, though bringing your own bowl is sensible. You can book a spot in the dog-friendly area.

Good to know. The pull is the cocktails and beer list with casual pub food, plus live music and community nights. It runs a full day, so it works for an afternoon drink after a walk as much as an evening.

Getting there. There is a free car park plus free street parking around it, though both fill on weekend nights. It sits on Montague Road, an easy add to a river-side walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Orleigh Park's fenced off-leash area and the Brisbane River paths are a short walk or drive, ideal for tiring the dog out before you settle in on the patio.
