Bar Solè

Bar Sole is a cozy, Italian-inspired wood-fired pizza and aperitivo bar on Maitland Road in Tighes Hill, with a vintage, storefront feel and a reputation as one of the more welcoming dog spots on this strip.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck, which has a relaxed, cozy layout suited to settling in for a meal. Staff are generally friendly towards pets. Keep dogs leashed and under control on the deck, and bring your own portable water bowl since one isn't guaranteed.

Good to know. Known for authentic wood-fired pizza, including a kangaroo pizza and diavola, plus gnocchi and focaccia. It's BYO, so you can bring your own wine to go with dinner. Expect a friendly, local, homely atmosphere rather than a big venue.

Getting there. 173 Maitland Rd, Tighes Hill, right on the main road through the suburb, next door to Tighes Hill Cellars. Street parking is available on Maitland Road and the surrounding residential side streets, though it can fill up on busy nights.

Tighes Hill Park is a short walk away for a pre-dinner leg-stretch, and paths along Throsby Creek and Lee Wharf are close by for a stroll before or after your meal. Confirm current dog policy when booking, especially for busier weekend sittings.
