Hotel Boston is a casual foreshore tavern at 189 Tasman Terrace, right on the water at the southern end of the Port Lincoln foreshore. Dogs are welcome in the shaded alfresco beer garden out the back, which looks over the bay, so you can settle in with a pub feed and sea views.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco beer garden, kept on lead beside you. The indoor bar and dining room are off-limits to dogs, so plan for an outdoor table. The garden is shaded, which helps on warm afternoons. There is no set water service, so bring a bowl.

Good to know. It is the tavern sitting closest to the water in town, known for fresh local seafood, pub classics, regular live music and a family-friendly feel. The back garden gets the sea outlook.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Tasman Terrace and the surrounding foreshore streets, but it gets busy in peak season. The pub sits right on the foreshore path, so it is an easy stop mid-walk.

Nearby with the dogs. The foreshore walking path runs directly in front for an on-lead stretch, the town beach is just across the way, and Apex Park on the foreshore gives a bit more green space.

The beer garden backs onto the foreshore, so keep the lead short near the gate and the path, where there is foot traffic and the odd passing dog.

Best for a late-afternoon meal when the garden is in shade, ideally outside peak holiday weekends when foreshore parking thins out.
