Huskisson Hotel

The Huskisson Hotel, known locally as the Husky Pub, is the iconic coastal pub at 64-66 Owen Street, with a big waterfront deck and uninterrupted views over Jervis Bay. It is an easy afternoon with a dog after a foreshore walk, and one of the better spots in the Shoalhaven to catch the sunset over the water.

The dog setup. The outdoor Pavilion Terrace and the designated alfresco areas are dog-friendly. Dogs stay on-leash at all times and out of the indoor restaurant and bistro. Staff often put out water bowls in the outdoor areas, but carry your own travel bowl on busy summer days.

Good to know. The menu runs to pub classics, fresh South Coast seafood and wood-fired pizza, with a separate Waterfront Bar for craft beer, cocktails and local wine. It is a big, popular venue (3,310 reviews), so expect a crowd on weekends and holidays.

Getting there and parking. Street parking on Owen Street is competitive in peak season. The easier option is the large free public car park directly behind the hotel, reached via Sydney Street or Bowen Street.

Nearby with the dogs. Huskisson Beach is a short walk, with off-leash access outside the middle-of-day window in peak summer, so check the current council signage. The Jervis Bay Maritime Museum grounds and White Sands Park are also close for an on-leash walk.
