The Brooklyn Wine + Tapas

The Brooklyn Wine + Tapas is a stylish tapas, wine and cocktail spot at 190 Varsity Parade, right by Lake Orr. Dogs are welcome in the alfresco area, so it works for an evening out that the dog can join rather than a quick coffee stop.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted in the dedicated outdoor alfresco area, not the indoor dining room. There is plenty of outdoor seating and staff provide water bowls. Book a table and mention you are bringing a dog so they can set you up in the right spot, since the alfresco seating is the part that fills up.

Good to know. The draw is the tapas menu, a full wine list and cocktails, with a lakeside position that suits a slower evening. Service is relaxed and used to dogs at the outdoor tables.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Varsity Parade and the nearby side streets, and local buses stop close by on Varsity Parade.

Nearby with the dogs. The paved Lake Orr walking track is steps away, which makes an easy pre-dinner or post-dinner loop before you settle in.

When to go. Come for an early evening table if you want the calmer end of the alfresco, and bring a mat if your dog prefers to settle rather than sit up at the table.
