These watering holes will do the trick when you’re looking to enjoy a cold one with your four-legged friend.

The Cav

For those of us on Team Dog, there’s little worse than not being able to take our four-legged mates with us for a drink/meal. Thankfully, The Cav isn’t one of those places. With sweeping views of Auckland, a recently refurbished outdoor area and lots of sunshine, this Ponsonby gastropub is the perfect spot for you and your four-legged friend.

Botany Commons

There’s a gin garden, an extensive selection of whisky and dogs are treated like the VIPs their owners think they are. Welcome to Botany Commons in Botany Town Centre, East Auckland’s hub for lucky woofers. Thirsty punters can order a special Botany Beer Co brew or cocktail, while pizza sold by the foot is just the thing for rumbling tummies.

Union Post

It started life as the local post office but this heritage building has now morphed into the home of good food and beverages in Ellerslie Village. Dogs are welcome in the garden bar so bring your pooch along for a long weekend lunch (apparently the pizza topped with chorizo, salami and ham goes down a treat with the four-legged crowd).
