The Carrington
Dogs welcome
Dog rating
The Carrington is an exceptionally dog-friendly pub where dogs are part of the everyday scene, both indoors and out. It has a relaxed, social feel, and it's not unusual to see dogs settled throughout the venue.
Out the front, there's a toy swap setup where you can exchange dog toys, adding something a little different to the experience. It's a place that leans heavily into being welcoming to dogs.

This is a great dog friendly pub but the food was so disappointing. $34 for a roast dinner that was inedible. The lamb was 70% fat, potatoes boiled and undercooked and the Yorkshire puddings were like fairy cakes. Frozen ones would have been better. A great spot for bringing the dogs for a drink but unfortunately would not eat here again.

Situated in the quieter part of Bourke Street, the Carrington really has a local feel and if you don’t like dogs, do not come here. I think we were the only table that didn’t bring one. The staff were friendly and helpful. The drinks were on the higher priced side but they do have a happy hour. If you feel peckish the chips are thin and yummy.

Decent pasta, cheesy garlic bread, and a average burger. The staff were polite and friendly, and the upstairs area had a nice, easygoing atmosphere. It’s a relaxed, comfortable spot :) definitely a go-to pub in Surry Hills.
