Treetops Tavern

The lead. Treetops Tavern is a casual local pub on Executive Drive in Burleigh Waters, and dogs are welcome in its outdoor areas, which makes it an easy pick for a relaxed pub meal with the dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor beer garden and verandah seating, not inside the restaurant or the gaming room. The verandah tables give you room to settle a dog comfortably beside you. Staff are friendly and water bowls are often provided or available on request, though bringing your own is sensible.

Good to know. It runs as a welcoming community pub with classic tavern meals, a broad lunch and dinner menu, sports screens and live music or karaoke nights. Handy if you want a straightforward feed rather than a fussy dining experience.

Getting there. It is central to Burleigh Waters with free on-site parking plus free street parking, so getting a spot is rarely an issue.

Nearby with the dogs. The leafy Burleigh Waters streets suit a pre- or post-meal walk, and Tallebudgera Creek dog beach is a short drive south for off-leash time.

When to go. Evenings can get lively with music and sport, so an afternoon visit is calmer if your dog prefers quiet. Good for social dogs relaxed around a busy pub crowd.
