The Royal Hotel QBN

The Royal Hotel is a historic pub on Monaro Street in central Queanbeyan, and one of the more reliable dog-friendly spots in town thanks to its outdoor courtyard. If you want a counter meal and a beer with the dog along, this is the setup that works.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard, which is roomy and comfortable on a warm evening. The interior dining areas are off-limits to dogs, as is standard for a pub kitchen, so plan to sit outside. Staff are used to dogs coming through, though it is worth bringing your own water bowl to be sure.

Good to know. The kitchen has a strong reputation for pub food, from the wagyu burger to pizzas and schnitzels, and there is a solid tap and craft beer list. Live music and busy weekends are part of the deal, so a nervous dog is better off on a quieter weeknight.

Getting there. The pub is at 85 Monaro Street on the main drag. Street parking runs along Monaro Street and the side streets, but it fills up, so allow extra time on a busy night.

Nearby with the dogs. The Queanbeyan River and its walking paths are within strolling distance, making an easy pre- or post-meal walk to settle the dog before or after a busy room.
