Pops Cafe Bar Mount Eliza

Pops Cafe Bar on Ranelagh Drive is a casual neighbourhood cafe and bar whose big draw for dog owners is the large rear courtyard. It runs brunch through to afternoon drinks, and dogs are welcome both in that courtyard and at the front footpath tables.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the spacious rear courtyard, which is partly shaded, and at the front sidewalk tables. Staff are dog-friendly, water bowls are available and some visitors note the occasional dog treat. Indoor seating is for humans only.

Good to know. An extensive menu spans breakfast to hearty pub-style lunches like chicken parma and pork belly, with a full bar including Mornington Peninsula wines. The courtyard and laid-back, community feel are what regulars come back for.

Getting there. At 34 Ranelagh Drive, on the main village strip. Free street parking sits out front, with a free off-street area nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. The Ranelagh Drive strip is good for a post-coffee wander, Canadian Bay Beach is a short drive (check seasonal off-leash hours), and Mount Eliza Regional Park is within driving distance for trails.
