The Plough @ Myrniong is a historic bluestone hotel and restaurant in the heart of Myrniong, VIC, between Ballan and Bacchus Marsh. For dog owners, the defining drawcard is a dedicated pet-friendly beer garden.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the beer garden from 12 PM on trading days, and must stay on a leash at all times. Water bowls and treats are not confirmed, so bring your own.

Known for. The Plough occupies a historic bluestone building with cosy open fireplaces. The kitchen serves quality pub food, daily specials and a Locals Menu on Thursdays, with a focus on local wines and produce. It is also popular for weddings and functions in the nearby Stables.

Getting there. The hotel is at 17 Main St, Myrniong VIC 3341, roughly a one-hour drive from Melbourne CBD via the Western Highway (M8). Street parking is available directly in front of the venue on Main Street and is usually easy to find in this small town.

Nearby with the dogs. Make a day of it in the Moorabool Valley with a short drive to Little Lucky Cafe (cafe, Bacchus Marsh), Smokehouse 720 (restaurant, Bacchus Marsh), or Graze Ballan (stay, Ballan).

Keep your dog close to your table on a short lead. The beer garden is shared space, so a portable bowl beats relying on the venue.
