What the field reports:

• Central cocktail bars with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead at lower-volume weekday visits.

1. Visit on a weekday happy hour — quieter, with more room for a small or medium dog.
2. Bring a portable water bowl — staff do not supply one.
3. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
4. Order a cocktail flight — the bar’s signature.
5. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick the corner bench — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the bench is metal-framed.
8. Use the PMQ garden for a relief walk before/after the visit.

OpenRice 4.4/5 across 3 reviews (small-sample but encouraging); reviewers consistently note the craft cocktails and sharing plates at the $101–200 price band, positioned as a Central cocktail bar. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement. Hollywood Road’s pedestrian-quiet weekday evenings are documented across the parent register.
