Stomping Ground Brewery & Beer Hall - Morris Moor

Stomping Ground's Moorabbin brewery and beer hall sits inside the Morris Moor precinct on Cochranes Road, a converted cigarette factory turned spacious drinking and eating hall. Dogs are welcome in the generous outdoor areas, which makes it an easy one for a relaxed afternoon with the dog in tow.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed on the covered outdoor deck and across the large beer garden, but not inside the main warehouse seating. The deck is covered, so it works in changeable weather. Water bowls are often around and staff are used to canine guests. Space is plentiful, but booking ahead and asking for an outdoor table is the safe move on a busy day.

Good to know. The draw is 25-plus rotating craft taps, wood-fired pizzas and pub classics like schnitzel, plus cheese-covered pretzels. It is family and dog friendly with a kids' cubby, and live music runs from 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays, which lifts the volume.

Getting there. The address is 9 Cochranes Road, with extensive free on-site parking across the Morris Moor complex. Moorabbin station is within walking distance or a short bus ride.

Nearby with the dogs. The Morris Moor precinct has plenty of open space for a walk before or after, and it holds other cafes and vendors, so you can make an outing of it.

Come on a weekday afternoon for the calmest garden. If your dog is sound-sensitive, arrive before the Friday and Saturday live music kicks off at 6pm.
