The Beresford

Dogs welcome

Updated 13 June 2026

No photos yet
Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

The Beresford Hotel has a large, open beer garden that gives dogs plenty of room to move and settle. There's a mix of open space and seating, with some greenery around that adds a bit of interest for dogs.

It can get busy at times, but outside of peak periods there's usually enough space for a dog to stretch out without feeling crowded. Shade and some shelter in the garden make it workable in most conditions.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor beer garden.

Please keep dogs leashed, calm, and under control for the comfort of all patrons.

Stunning bar indoor area with nice cocktail menus but also cute little bar in the outdoor area. 🍹 Bathroom is located downstairs, well designed and very clean. ✨ A good place for quick snack or brunch as well as great for full dining experience! Plus, super pet friendly!! 🥂🍽️ #Bar #Cocktails #Snacks #Brunch #Dining

Stopped by Sunday evening and found a packed patio area. The wait at the bar in that area was quite awhile, the inside bar was much faster but terrible service from the bartender, so the wait outside is worth it.... Had the Pizza which was very good. The dance floor on the Upper Level was a nice surprise and a lot of fun. Glad we experienced The Beresford, it's definitely worth a visit.

My favourite local pub in Surry hills, beautiful outdoor area, lots of happy groups and after work drinks. We had the $25 steak special for Wednesday night with happy hour drinks ( happy hour until 7pm) steak perfect, chips perfect, pepper sauce perfect. Great vibe highly recommend.

Love the outdoor garden that's spacious. Huge modern bar and beer garden, chill scene, good music and great vibes. A nice place to meet friends and make new ones. Don’t miss Sunday Afternoon drinks. It starts get busy from 4 pm. A friendly good looking crowd keeps the outside courtyard packed.

I’ve had better chicken parmies at a suburban RSL after midnight. At a truly audacious $34, this one managed the rare feat of being both overpriced and deeply disappointing. Dry, sad, and about as memorable as wet cardboard with cheese. Also, pro tip: don’t bother heading upstairs for “happy hour” because apparently happiness has zoning restrictions. The bar staff cheerfully informed us it’s a “different venue,” which is a fun surprise if you enjoy arbitrary disappointment. Do yourself a favour: ditch this place and go to Una’s, where the schnitzels actually understand the assignment.
