Occy's

Occy's is a casual local brewery bar and restaurant at 5/38 Dunn Bay Road in the heart of Dunsborough, and it is about as dog-welcoming as a venue gets. Staff run a Dog of the Week feature, keep water bowls out and stock local dog treats, so this is a genuine first pick for eating out with a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor undercover courtyard and on the front footpath, brought in through the side gate. Keep your dog on a lead at all times. Staff provide water bowls and often have local Jaws dog treats on hand. Dogs are not taken into the main indoor restaurant, but the outdoor area is comfortable.

Good to know. The draw is house-brewed craft beer alongside casual pub food: burgers, seafood and share plates. There is a daily happy hour from 4pm, and the staff are noted for being warm to dogs and owners alike.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Dunn Bay Road, with a public car park behind the shops about two minutes' walk away. It is an easy stop after a beach walk.

Nearby with the dogs. The Dunsborough foreshore beach path is a short walk for an on-leash stroll, with a designated dog beach a short drive away towards Quindalup.

Best in the late afternoon for happy hour when the courtyard is relaxed. Good for sociable dogs that enjoy a busy, friendly crowd.
