Adelita Wine Bar

Adelita Wine Bar brings a proper wine bar to Glenora Street in Wynnum, with a serious wine list, a degustation menu and small plates like oysters and scallops that punch well above the suburb's weight. For dog owners it is the outdoor patio that matters: visitors report leashed dogs are welcome at the patio tables, and the reported extra is a puppaccino for the dog while you work through the wine pairing.

The dog setup is patio only, so this is a warm weather and sheltered evening venue rather than an all weather one. Arrive early for a table if you are bringing the dog, because the patio is the drawcard and the room fills quickly from Wednesday through Saturday. Staff are described by patrons as welcoming across the board, dogs included, which is not a given at a venue with a degustation menu.

Worth knowing

Hours run from four in the afternoon midweek, with midday openings Friday through Sunday, and the kitchen pushes into the evening with a wagyu dish and a rotating dessert list that regulars mention alongside the wine list. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The patio is compact, so a well settled dog is the brief here, and if yours needs more elbow room the bayside walks nearby are the better warm up than the pavement out front. If you want a dog friendly special occasion dinner in the bayside suburbs, this is the short list, and the midweek four pm sitting is the quietest window to bring a dog still learning restaurant manners.

Close by with the dogs

Round the day out with other bayside options. The Waterloo Bay Hotel is the classic pub alternative for a dog friendly dinner, and Pelican's Nest Cafe handles the waterfront breakfast. If the dog needs to burn energy before dinner, Elanora Park's fenced dog park is close by. The Wynnum destination guide and the Queensland dog friendly restaurants list cover the rest.
