EJ Station House

The lead. EJ Station House is a Spanish-inspired tapas and wine bar right next to Eagle Junction train station in Clayfield, with a relaxed al fresco area that takes dogs on lead.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining area only, not indoors. Well-behaved dogs on a lead are the standard expectation, and the outdoor tables are set up for a casual sit rather than a tight squeeze, so there's room for a dog at your feet. Staff are known for being welcoming to dogs and will typically bring a water bowl on request; don't assume treats will be offered, bring your own if your dog is fussy.

Known for. Spanish tapas (chorizo, gambas al ajillo), a solid wine and cocktail list, and gelato. Good gluten-free and vegan options if you're catering to mixed diets at the table.

Getting there. It sits directly beside Eagle Junction railway station, making it an easy train trip in with the dog. Street parking is available on Junction Road and side streets but gets busy on weekend evenings, book ahead if you want an outdoor table at peak times.

Nearby with the dogs. Kalinga Park is a short drive away with plenty of open ground for a walk before or after. Oriel Park in neighbouring Ascot is a smaller, quieter option if you just need a stretch of the legs.

When to go. Weeknights or a lazy weekend afternoon suit it best, before the dinner rush claims the outdoor tables. Book ahead for weekends given its popularity.
