Dog Pub Social — Restaurant in Dunedin

A standout experience for both humans and dogs at Dog Pub Social!

I recently attended the Dog Pub Social grand opening and was beyond impressed with the entire experience. The space is exceptionally clean, thoughtfully designed, and clearly run with care. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable—not just about food and drinks, but also about canine behavior and socialization. As a first-time dog bar visitor, I was honestly nervous about bringing my dog. But the staff immediately put me at ease. They took the time to explain how the space works, observed my dog’s temperament, and made sure both of us felt comfortable and safe. Once we settled in we had an absolute blast! The food was fresh, the live music was perfect and the drink selection was excellent! You can tell the team here takes pride in offering more than just a novelty experience…it’s quality across the board.

Dog Pub Social has truly created a space where you can relax, connect and enjoy a fun, responsible environment. Whether you’re a regular or a bit unsure about bringing your pup, I can’t recommend it enough. JP has built something special!!!

Dog Pub Social is a total game-changer! 🤩

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the fun, relaxed vibe for both pups and humans! The space is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed with multiple play areas, splash pads, and pools to keep the dogs cool and happy. My pup had an absolute blast running around and making new friends while I enjoyed a cold drink and some seriously delicious Pickle flatbread. (It’s a must try!!)

The staff is super friendly and attentive. They clearly love dogs and it shows. Plus, the Thursday specials are unbeatable… $5 Tito’s, $5 Nutrls, $8 flatbreads, and no entry fee!! Yessss, please!

Whether you’re coming for a casual afternoon, a themed event, or just to sip, play, and socialize. Dog Pub Social is a must-visit for any dog lover. We can’t wait to come back again and...

This is such a beautiful space for your pups to play! Nothing like it in this area. There are two separate areas for dogs to roam so if your pup has any reaction to other sized dogs they can still have fun. The staff here embraces great service, they are extremely accommodating and caring. They understand canine behavior so in the event there needs to be a gentle reminder for pups to disengage they will assist you, if need be, to ensure all of your pups are safe. The food is great and the bar is centrally located for easy access to your beverages and food. There is a full bar so you can get just about anything you want including seltzers, surfsides, 10 beers on tap plus bottles and canned beers, cold brew coffee, wines and a few NA brews. This is definitely the place to bring your furry family...
