YARDLEYS

• Lead time: same-day for groups; phone-ahead for parties of 9+.
• Pet-section hours: same as general hours.
• The vibe: Soho craft-beer bar pouring Yardley Brothers local brews, with knowledgeable staff guiding guests through the taps. Comfort-food menu beyond the beers. Outdoor seating is the de-facto pet zone.

There is no dedicated indoor pet zone — the room seats roughly 30 covers. The practical pet-friendly setup is the outdoor pavement seats on Peel Street, which OpenRice lists under Outdoor Seating. Pets are not segregated from non-dog diners.

• Relief area on-site: none — Peel Street is busy; cross to Pottinger Street or walk downhill toward Central.
• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat as on-leash throughout; FEHD baseline applies.
• Distance from non-dog diners: close at the pavement tables; the indoor room is tight.
• Carrier / stroller required? No.

• Water bowl: not documented — bring a collapsible one.
• Pet mat / pee pad: not provided.
• Pet treats on the house: not documented.
• Pet menu: none.
• Pet stroller parking: pavement seats make it easy; indoor is too tight.
• Pet-friendly toilet: no — use the Central MTR station or the public facilities at the Central Market.

By MTR, the bistro is roughly a 10-minute walk from Sheung Wan MTR Exit A2 (per the FEHD-registered Peel Street address). Walk uphill along Hollywood Road or Queen’s Road Central, then turn onto Peel Street.

• Bus: KMB 13, 26, H1; alight at “Hollywood Road” and walk 2 min.
• Tram: the Peel Street / Hollywood Road stop on Des Voeux Road is a 5-min walk uphill.
• Step-free entry: yes — shop is at street level on Peel Street; pavement entrance is flush.
• Lift required: no.
• Parking: metered Peel Street; Central Market carpark nearby.
• MTR walk time: ~10 min from Sheung Wan Exit A2.

The law, per the FEHD scheme baseline (Cap 167D + Dog-Friendly Food Premises Permit conditions):

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline; no documented relaxation).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable — YARDLEYS is à la carte).
• Dogs on Cap 167D (Dangerous Dog Regulation) breeds are excluded by law; staff almost never know the rule by name, they will just say “no big dogs.”
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried — operators can ask.

What reviewers actually report on the ground:

• YARDLEYS is dog-tolerant rather than dog-curated. OpenRice reviews note a relaxed vibe but no public reviewer has described a water bowl being brought out, a pet menu, or a designated pet corner.
• The pavement tables are the de-facto pet spot; review photos show small-to-medium dogs tucked under the seats.
• No size cap is documented, but the 30-seat room is tight — large breeds are workable at the pavement but not inside.
• No “X dogs per booking” cap reported. Single-dog bookings are the norm.
• Corkage HK$100/bottle for BYO wine.

1. Take the pavement seats on the Peel Street front — easiest pet setup, calmer than the small indoor room.
2. Walk in — only parties of 9+ need to phone ahead (5592 3557).
3. Bring your own water bowl — not documented as provided.
4. Carry your AFCD e-licence (iAM Smart) — staff may ask.
5. Mind weekend happy-hour crowds from 15:00 — the 30-seat room fills fast.
6. Order the Yardley Brothers local brews — that’s the headline; the staff can guide tastings.
7. Do not bring a “Dangerous Dog” breed (Cap 167D) — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.

OpenRice 4.5/5 across 5 reviews. Reviewers consistently note the knowledgeable staff for the taps and the lively Peel Street weekend vibe; the venue’s own channel stays phone-only for groups of 9+ with all other tables as walk-ins. The outdoor pavement seats are flagged as the natural pet setup; corkage is published at HK$100/bottle for BYO wine. AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart is the only document staff ask to see.
