Sneaky Baron

Sneaky Baron is a casual craft-beer and smokehouse bar on Ocean Street, the heart of Maroochydore's dining and entertainment strip. It openly welcomes dogs to its footpath tables, which makes it an easy spot to settle in for a beer and a brisket burger with your dog at your side.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating along the Ocean Street footpath; the indoor bar follows the usual rules, so plan to sit outside. Staff are known to bring out a water bowl, though carrying your own is wise on a warm afternoon. The footpath setting puts you right on a busy strip, so a dog comfortable with passing foot traffic will settle best.

Good to know. The kitchen is built around smoked meats, with the brisket burger and brisket subs the standouts, plus a rotating line-up of local craft beers and cocktails. Live music and midweek lunch deals are part of the draw. Weekends get loud and crowded.

Getting there. The address is 2 Ocean Street. Free street parking and public car parks sit nearby on Cornmeal Parade and the surrounding side streets, and it is an easy walk if you are staying in central Maroochydore.

Nearby with the dogs. Walk the Ocean Street strip to settle your dog first, then the Maroochy River foreshore is a short stroll and Cotton Tree Park a few minutes' drive for open green space by the water.

When to go. Midweek afternoons are calmest; weekend evenings bring the crowds and the volume, so time your visit to your dog's tolerance for a busy strip.
