Tom Bar + Grill

This profile for Tom Bar + Grill is built from OpenRice reviews, FEHD licence records, and the venue’s own published information — no first-visit walk-through has been carried out, so booking notes should be treated as a starting question rather than a closed answer.

• Booking channel: call the venue directly, walk in, or message them on Instagram.
• Walk-in feasibility: mall-side cafes usually take walk-ins on weekday lunches; weekend brunch tends to book out
• Lead time: weekend dinner in this district typically books 2–5 days ahead; weekday brunch is easier
• Vibe check: the New Town Plaza and Tai Wai cluster sit in a mall-culture setting where FEHD-licensed pet zones are common at ground-floor terraces.

No documented price band is published for Tom Bar + Grill. No documented minimum charge (低消) sits on file for this licence yet. Most Sha Tin venues on the FEHD register sit in the HK$100–HK$300 per person range when a pet-zone minimum is applied — confirm by phone before booking.

• Per-dog charge: none reported yet — flag if quoted one.
• Pet menu / treats: no dedicated pet menu is documented for this venue.
• Payment: assume Visa / Master / Octopus / FPS as the baseline in HK 2026, plus WeChat Pay / AlipayHK at most Sha Tin sites.

Under the FEHD scheme, the pet-friendly portion of the floor plan at Tom Bar + Grill is the inside seating area (no documented outdoor pet zone). The licence does list this venue as dog-friendly under the FEHD baseline.

• Preferred zone: the FEHD-allowed portion of the floor plan is typically the outside-seating accommodation at side or shop front.
• Relief area on-site: none reported. A quick walk to the nearest side street or pocket park is the standard move.
• Off-leash: on-leash throughout (FEHD baseline + Cap 167D).
• Distance from non-dog tables: the pet-zone tables are typically set apart by a partition or a planter — confirm on arrival.

• Water bowl: not documented; a foldable silicone one is recommended, staff in Sha Tin cafes will usually fill it from a jug.
• Pet mat / pee pad: bring your own; venues rarely stock them.
• Treats: pack a few of the dog’s favourites; a pre-meal snack settles them.
• Towel: bring one for rainy-day paw-drying — outdoor seating can leave wet floors.
• Pet menu: not documented; do not feed from venue tableware (FEHD rule).

Tom Bar + Grill — UNIT S088 & S089, G/F, HARBOUR VIEW TWO, EAST WING, PHASE 2, HONG KONG SCIENCE PARK, PAK SHEK KOK, SHA TIN, NEW TERRITORIES. Closest rail is Sha Tin MTR.

• MTR: Sha Tin is the closest interchange; consult Citymapper for the current exit and walk-minute estimate.
• Step-free entry: to be confirmed at first walk-through.
• Parking: use the nearest public car park; add a 2-minute buffer for the lift queue.
• Lift note: many Sha Tin venues sit above podium level, so a lift ride is normal — plan for a 2-minute buffer.

The law (FEHD scheme baseline, Cap 167D):

• Leash ≤ 1.5 m at all times inside the venue.
• No dogs on dining tables, bar counter seats, or open-kitchen counters.
• 1.5 m exclusion from any open buffet / salad bar.
• Cap 167D Dangerous Dog breeds are excluded — staff rarely know the formal list but will often say “no big dogs”.
• Carry the dog’s AFCD e-licence on iAM Smart; staff can ask for it.

What the venue / owners report (placeholder until verified):

• Sha Tin front-of-house tends to be relaxed once they see a calm dog on a lead.
• Booking the side / shop-front seating keeps the visit smooth.
• No size cap is documented for this licence — confirm by phone on the day.

1. Call ahead to confirm the pet-zone is open on the day you want — the FEHD schedule can change without notice.
2. Bring the dog’s AFCD e-licence on iAM Smart; staff can ask to scan it.
3. Bring a foldable water bowl — venues rarely have a spare.
4. Carry waste bags even in outdoor seating; FEHD officers notice.
5. Book the side / shop-front seating — that is the FEHD-allowed zone on this licence.
6. Arrive 5 minutes early so staff can brief you on the in-house rules before you sit down.
7. Skip the bar-counter or open-kitchen seats — the FEHD rule voids the booking if the dog cannot be reseated.
8. Pack a small mat — even venues that provide mats appreciate your own on a busy night.
9. Confirm large-dog / XL breed acceptance — staff may say “no big dogs” even when the licence does not exclude them.
10. Do not feed the dog from the venue’s reusable tableware — bring a travel bowl or a paper plate.
