King Tide Brewing

King Tide Brewing is a small batch brewery and restaurant on Studio Lane in the Coffs Harbour jetty precinct, and dogs are part of the setup. The outdoor beer garden welcomes leashed dogs, with water bowls and dog treats put out for visiting hounds while you work through a tasting paddle of the house range.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden on a lead at all times, and the venue supplies water bowls and treats, so there is little to pack beyond the dog itself. Staff have a reputation for being welcoming, which helps on a first visit when your dog is still working out where to settle. Garden tables fill quickly on weekend evenings, so arriving early in the session makes claiming a comfortable spot for two plus hound much easier.

The brewery pours its own range, and the ginger beer draws regular mentions, including a blueberry version. Food runs to hearty plates with the pork knuckle as the headliner, and a tasting paddle is the easiest way to settle on a favourite. The venue closes Mondays, opens from 4pm on Tuesdays and from midday Wednesday to Sunday, with late sessions on Friday and Saturday, so it works as a long lunch venue midweek and a dinner stop on weekends.

Close by with the dogs

Coffs Harbour has enough dog friendly options to build a full day around the brewery. Twenty46 is a solid morning coffee stop before you head to the jetty, and Thompsons Road Reserve Fenced Dog Park gives your dog a proper off lead run to burn off energy first. For a beach leg, the North Wall Beach off leash area sits by the southern breakwall. You can find more dog friendly restaurants across NSW if the mid north coast is one stop on a longer trip.

Check the King Tide Brewing website or socials for tap updates and event nights before you head out, and keep your dog on lead in the garden at all times.
