The Mallow

A relaxed gastropub at 18-20 Skipton Street, just off the main CBD grid, The Mallow pairs craft beer and pub food with an easy, casual feel that suits a dog along for the ride.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and patio dining areas. Indoor access is generally limited to assistance dogs, so plan to sit outside and check the current setup with staff when you arrive. Water bowl availability is not guaranteed, so bring your own.

Good to know. It is known for value nights, Pot and Parma Mondays and Hop Dog Tuesdays, plus a weekday happy hour, alongside craft beer and casual gastropub plates. That makes it a good after-work stop rather than a special-occasion sit-down.

Getting there. It sits on Skipton Street, a short walk from the main CBD, with street parking on Skipton and the surrounding side streets. The walk in from the centre is an easy way to settle the dog first.

Best for a casual weekday drink or an early dinner outside. Good for owners who want a low-key local rather than a polished one.
