Two different things get called dog-friendly, and we keep them apart.

Dogs inside means the operator has said dogs are welcome in the building, and we hold the wording that says it.
Outdoor areas means the courtyard, the garden bar or the footpath tables, and not indoors.

Every venue below carries the source we read it in. Anything we could not source is left off, so a place missing from this page is one nobody has put in writing, not one that said no.

The rare ones

Dogs welcome inside in Auckland

The operator has said dogs are welcome in the building. The wording we read is quoted on each card, with a link to where we read it.

BBC Tasting Studio

Dogs welcome inside

Pub · Birkenhead

“The pub's own words: a relaxed, dog-friendly local pub. A pack member who sat inside with their dog in September 2026 says staff are welcoming, there is water and treats, and a wall of polaroids of past dog visitors. The inside detail is the member's report, not the venue's.”

Stone Oven

Dogs welcome inside

Cafe · Devonport

“Stone Oven's own site lists itself as a "DOG FRIENDLY CAFE", though it never says whether that means inside or only the tables out front. A pack member sat inside here with her dog in September 2026 and reported both indoor and outdoor seating take dogs, with a water bowl. The cafe's own word plus a fellow dog owner's report is what puts this one inside.”
