The Dog's Bone

A dive bar with delicious burgers and actually quite delightful beer and wine, considering it's meant to be a dive bar. Exquisite views of the local monstrosity, our clock tower. Corrugated iron inside?!

Tucked away down Achilles Avenue (Wakatu carpark), You'll find the Dog's Bone. It is filled with bright colours, recycled furniture, quirky art, dog memorabilia, live music, burgers and all-around good vibes.

Craft beer goes hard with burgers, so our rotating tap selection has that covered. Gissy Gold goes especially hard when paired with our juicy cheeseburger, so the fridge is always stocked up with the iconic cans. If wines are your vibe, local winemakers have created some delicious flavours of the region and some natural and natty wines for something a bit different.

We are open Thursday through Sunday. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays, from 8pm.

BYO dogs.
