The Pickled Bear is a pub in Bella Vista where dog access has not yet been confirmed — it's worth checking before you visit.
As a part of my Sperm Donation Australia Tour of NSW, I stopped by here for a cocktail. I got the Frothy Puppy, Peanut butter whiskey, Frangelico and pineapple was a easy drinking drink. Venue is cosy but cool decor which makes it a fun place to swing by.
My review is just a positive feedback bcz I love this place and atmosphere. Ordered Pina clauda and lemon lime bitter and it was literally the worst drink pina caluda was just ice and nothing close to mocktail we asked for and lemon lime bitters was just a lime water. schweps is 200 times better.
Cocktails and atmosphere was great. So was the food. They seemed a bit understaffed so we had to wait for food but it didn't bother us. We would definitely go back.
Fantastic time here with a massive group of my friends, we arrived late and they even kept the bar open for longer so we could get more drinks. Our bartender was lovely and really accommodating for me and making me fantastic mocktails. Overall 10/10 experience.
Good selection of cocktails and wines. They have a lot of interesting craft beers on there. The venue is small so you may need to book, they have some nibbles on the menu.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
