Breweries · Rongotai, Lyall Bay
The taproom of Parrotdog Brewing, a street back from Lyall Bay beach: retro pub fittings, seventeen revolving taps, a window onto the brewery, a pool table and a Polaroid wall of visiting dogs. The kitchen does upgraded pub grub.
A brewery called Parrotdog that really does welcome dogs inside — well-behaved ones have even earned treats — a short walk from the off-leash beach.
WellingtonNZ's dog-friendly dining guide confirms dogs are welcome inside the bar, with a courtyard outside. Wednesday jug and burger-and-half-pint specials have run at NZ$20. The bar opened after a crowdfunding campaign by the brewery's three founders, all named Matt. Hours above come from public listings rather than the venue.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
