Das Bierhaus

Das Bierhaus is a Bavarian restaurant and bar on Moorabool Street in the Geelong CBD, built around hearty German food and an all-German beer list. For dog owners the way in is the outdoor beer garden, where dogs are welcome alongside you.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer-garden seating. Indoor dining is people-only, so plan to book an outdoor table, particularly on weekends. Staff are described as accommodating and water bowls are often provided; bring your own to be sure.

Good to know. Expect large, traditional plates such as pork knuckle, schnitzels and Flammkuchen, a wide spread of imported German beers on tap, and a notable vegetarian and vegan range. Live music features at times, which can make it loud for an anxious dog.

Getting there. 310 Moorabool Street, Geelong, on a main CBD street. Free street parking is generally available in the surrounding area.

Nearby with the dogs. Eastern Beach Reserve and the Geelong Botanic Gardens are both a short trip for a walk before or after, and the Barwon River trail is a short drive for a longer leg-stretch.

An evening or weekend-lunch outing in the beer garden. Book ahead for an outdoor table, and pick a quieter session if your dog is noise-shy.
