The Fourth Monkey Cocktail Bar & Grill

The Fourth Monkey is a Caribbean-inspired tiki rum bar and grill in an old cottage at 58 Mollison Street, on the South Brisbane and West End border opposite West Village. It is openly dog-friendly, and the fairy-lit courtyard is the spot to bring your dog.

The dog setup. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in the outdoor courtyard and the front seating. Water bowls are put out for dogs, and there are no stated dog fees. Keep your dog leashed and settled. The indoor tables are small and popular, so booking ahead helps if you want a courtyard spot on a busy night.

Good to know. The draw is the drinks: tiki cocktails and rum, from frozen margaritas to house creations, plus a Caribbean-leaning grill menu. The room is dim, rustic and intimate, and the courtyard is the relaxed, dog-suited end of it.

Getting there. It is on Mollison Street opposite the West Village precinct. Street parking in the surrounding West End streets is limited; the West Village car park nearby is the easier option. It is a short walk from South Brisbane station and the Boundary Street bus stops.

Nearby with the dogs. West Village Common is right across the road for a quick leg-stretch. Davies Park is a short riverside walk away, with big open on-leash space and a Saturday farmers' market, and Boundary Street has other cafes with outdoor seating.

When to go. Early evening on a weekday is the calmest window for a courtyard table; weekend nights get lively. Good for a settled dog happy to lounge in a fairy-lit courtyard.
