The Elwood Tavern

The Elwood Tavern is a relaxed modern-Australian pub in the heart of Elwood village on Ormond Road. The beer garden is the dog-friendly drawcard.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden, a sunny backyard space with a mix of tall and dining tables, and at the front footpath seating on Ormond Road. The venue is known to be accommodating, and some patrons report bringing dogs inside, but the beer garden is the reliable spot. Staff will usually bring water.

Good to know. A genuine local with a daily happy hour, pub meals, live music, sport and a pool table. The backyard gets lively, so it suits a settled, sociable dog rather than a nervous one.

Getting there. Free street parking on Ormond Road and surrounding streets, busy at peak times. Local buses run along Ormond Road.

Nearby with the dogs. Elwood Beach and the foreshore are walking distance, and the village strip has more dog-friendly cafes for the morning after.
