Forrester's Surry Hills

Forrester's operates as a fully dog-friendly institution across every section of this Surry Hills pub: the public bar welcomes them, the saloon opens to them, the balcony accommodates them, and the restaurant Phyllis extends into a garden where dogs settle as naturally as their owners.

This Surry Hills venue has operated since 1921, though recent renovations by Applejack Hospitality transformed it into a contemporary destination while preserving the bones of a historic pub. Tuesday evenings bring Yappy Hour (6-8pm), when dogs score pawkies—miniature Yorkshire puddings with gravy and kibble—on the house with every meal purchased.

The Dog Wall of Fame documents the companion animals who clearly run Forrester's as much as the humans do, celebrating the regulars who've integrated into the social fabric.
