Bo Gurks

Bo Gurks is a lively bar and restaurant on the Nepean Highway strip in Edithvale, right opposite the train station, with dogs welcome on the outdoor patio.

The dog setup. Dogs are fine at the outdoor tables, where you can settle in with a woodfired pizza and a drink while your dog rests at your feet. Indoors is standard restaurant rules, so service animals only. Staff will often bring a water bowl out, but it's worth carrying your own just in case it's a busy night.

Good to know. Bo Gurks is known for its woodfired pizzas (gluten-free options included), a solid wine and cider list, and a full bar that keeps the place going into the evening, sometimes with live entertainment. It rates 4.8 from over 300 reviews, so bookings are worth making on weekends.

Getting there. It's at 244 Nepean Highway, directly across from Edithvale station, so training in is easy. Street parking is available on side streets like Fraser Avenue, though it gets tight during dinner service.

Nearby with the dogs. Edithvale Beach is about 400 metres away for a walk before or after your meal, and the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands are a short drive for something quieter.

Go early evening on a weeknight for a relaxed patio table, or book ahead if you want a weekend spot with the dog.
