What visitors mention
Bustard Town is a wood-fired pizza bar and garden eatery off Knuckey Street, built around a leafy tropical beer garden. That covered garden is where dogs are welcome, and it is a relaxed early-evening option in the CBD.
The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, with the covered tropical garden the main dog-friendly seating. Staff are accommodating. The garden gives shade, but it can run hot, so a collapsible water bowl is worth packing and cooler evening hours are the comfortable choice.
Good to know. The wood-fired pizza is the headline and rates among the best in the CBD, backed by a long cocktail list and regular live music. It runs livelier at night and stays relaxed on early weeknights.
Getting there. Find it on Nuttall Place, off Knuckey Street. There is a mix of free and paid street parking nearby, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible.
Nearby with the dogs. Bicentennial Park is a short walk with clifftop paths over the water, good for a stretch before or after dinner. Keep dogs on-lead through the city parks.
