Meating Room

Meating Room is a casual pub in Weston Creek built around grilled meats, burgers and a solid craft beer list, with screens for sport and a relaxed outdoor area that welcomes dogs.

Dog setup: Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area at the front of the venue. Indoors is people-only. Water bowls are sometimes put out for dogs, but confirm at the table and bring your own bowl to be safe. Keep dogs leashed and settled, as the courtyard can get busy on weekends.

Good to know: The kitchen is known for its philly cheesesteak, pulled pork burger, ribs and chicken parmigiana, with a solid craft beer selection and live music on some nights. It's a lively, sport-on-the-screens kind of pub rather than a quiet corner table, so it suits an easygoing outdoor session more than a low-key coffee stop.

Getting there: The pub is at 45 Liardet Street, Weston, right in the Weston Creek shopping precinct. Free parking is available in the Cooleman Court car park nearby, and it's on local Canberra bus routes.

Nearby with the dogs: Cooleman Court is an easy walk for a stroll before or after, and Stromlo Forest Park is a short drive away for a longer walk with more room to move.
