To All My Friends

To All My Friends is a craft beer bar and wood-fired pizzeria in the Cook shops, and it is one of the more genuinely dog-friendly pubs in Belconnen. Dogs are welcome in the large covered outdoor area, which is really the whole point of the venue.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the sheltered outdoor patio, with trestle tables set up so a dog can sit comfortably alongside you. Indoors is generally service dogs only, but that barely matters here since the covered outdoor area is the main seating anyway. Water bowls are usually out, and staff are used to canine regulars. Keep dogs leashed and under control around other patrons.

Known for. Wood-fired pizzas (the mushroom and sicilian get called out often) and a rotating line-up of independent craft beer from the ACT and NSW. It has a casual neighbourhood-bar feel, with trivia nights, open mic and a strong local following rather than a polished gastropub vibe.

Getting there and parking. Free parking is plentiful directly behind the Cook shops, accessed via Rowan Street or Biffin Street, with flat, easy access from the car park to the rear entrance. Bus stops service Cook's main streets if you are coming without a car.

Nearby with the dogs. A well-used off-leash park sits a short walk from the shops, handy for a pre-dinner run-around. There is also a dog-friendly cafe in the same strip of shops if you want coffee before opening hours, though confirm current hours and pet policy directly as cafe details change.

When to go. Weeknights are quieter and easier for a relaxed pizza with a dog underfoot; weekend evenings get lively with trivia and live music, so arrive early if your dog prefers less noise and fewer people underfoot.
