Courthouse Hotel
The Courthouse Hotel offers a similar scale to some of the larger Inner West pubs, with a standout outdoor area that wraps around the venue.
The outdoor space is the main drawcard, with plenty of room to move and settle in, as well as trees and plants that provide shade and give dogs something to sniff and explore. You can access this area directly from the street via a side gate, which makes it easy to arrive without going through the main bar.
It’s a good option if you’re after a spacious, outdoor-focused setting where your dog can relax alongside you.

What people say
Great venue. Lots of room. Nice outdoor section. Pooch friendly. Good staff. Would love to see more art in the back beer garden : )
Most delicious gf fish and chips. Generous helping. Friendly staff. Good service. For me the music was too loud. We went out to the lovely courtyard to get away from the music but it was still too loud. However. If you are gf ..the best fish and chips ever!
Good selection of drinks. Standard menu and the food is reasonable. Great outdoor area that adds to the ambience. Staff and friendly and helpful. Setting up a tab was rather cumbersome though.
I come here for a friends birthday last week and they had the best time. I had an unfortunate/unexpected issue with another patron. They both made me feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable. the staff however resolved the situation swiftly and I was able to enjoy my friends birthday. The nachos are a big yes also! Great vibe, amazing staff! Highly recommend
