Albion Park RSL

Albion Park RSL on Tongarra Road is one of the few clubs in the area that welcomes dogs, with the front alfresco area opened to them in late 2023. That means you can do a schnitzel, a raffle ticket and a quiet beer with the dog parked at your feet.

The dog setup. Dogs stay in the front alfresco area only; the main club building is off limits. Ordering happens inside, so it pays to bring a second person - one minds the lead while the other fetches the drinks. Bring your own water bowl rather than counting on one being out.

Good to know. Reviewers keep coming back for the schnitzel, the meat raffles and the live music, and inside there is a bistro, an Asian eatery and a sports bar with pool tables. It sits at 4.2 stars across more than 440 reviews, casual and family-friendly.

Getting there. The club is at 160 Tongarra Road, the main road through Albion Park, with free on-site parking.

Nearby with the dogs. Three Flamingos Espresso and Hive Coffee Co. cover the morning coffee, and Oak Flats Fenced Dog Park is a short drive away for an off-leash run before lunch.

When to go. Raffle and live music nights bring the crowds; a weekday lunch in the alfresco is the calm option for a dog still learning to settle beside a table.
