Courthouse Hotel
Dogs welcome
Dog rating
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.

The Courty is the best place to bring your dog for a beer in the garden, But its the staff that make the place! They really are the heart and soul of the pub. So come on down and look for the dog at the bottom of the stairs and get the pat of a lifetime!!!

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.
