Fyansford Hotel

Fyansford Hotel is a spacious country-style pub on Hyland Street, five to ten minutes from Geelong CBD, with a partly covered outdoor deck where dogs are welcome and a green space right next door for a walk before or after your meal.

Dog access and setup. Dogs are allowed on the outdoor deck, not inside the main bar or dining room. Staff are generally accommodating about finding a spot for you and the dog. Water bowls are usually out on the deck, but it is worth bringing your own in case none is free. The deck is partly covered, so it holds up reasonably well in a bit of weather.

Known for. Big pub meals, all-day steaks, parmas, seafood and pizza, generous portions, and a family-friendly, community feel, including a kids' playroom and local group events such as the Geelong Greyhound Walk. The green space next door does double duty as an informal dog park.

Getting there and parking. The hotel is on Hyland Street (B140), a short drive from Geelong CBD. Free on-site and surrounding street parking is generally easy to find.

Nearby with the dogs. The green space immediately beside the hotel is worth a loop before or after eating. Fyansford Common, near the Moorabool River, is close by for a longer walk. Provenance Wines is nearby too if you want to extend the outing.

A solid pick after a walk in the adjacent green space or along the Moorabool River. Weeknights are quieter; weekends get busy with the pub crowd and events, so book ahead if you want deck seating with the dog.
