The Pursuit of Hoppiness

The Pursuit of Hoppiness is a casual craft beer bar and kitchen on the Raby Bay marina at Cleveland, with waterfront tables looking over the harbour. It is an easy stop after a swim at the nearby dog beach.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, undercover and waterfront seating; indoors is off-limits, as is standard under food-safety rules. The paved courtyard area gives you room to settle a dog on a mat under the table. Staff are generally accommodating, but bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The focus is independent and local craft beer alongside casual food with an Aussie and Asian lean, and there is often live music. It is a relaxed spot for a lunch or an early dinner by the water.

Getting there. It sits in the Raby Bay Harbour precinct at Shore St W, Cleveland, with ample free parking and a short flat walk to the waterfront tables.

Nearby with the dogs. Raby Bay Dog Beach and GJ Walter Park are both minutes away for a walk or swim before or after you eat.

When to go. Fine weather brings the crowds to the marina tables, so an earlier lunch or a weekday visit is calmer if you want a shaded outdoor seat. Confirm dog seating with staff on busy days.
