Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Six places near Kingsville carry a dog-friendly listing: three in Yarraville, two in Seddon and one in Footscray. The status is given first for each, with the source that makes the claim. Five carry an AGFG Pet Friendly tag, and one, the Victoria Hotel, says it on its own site.

The rule that matters is the venue’s. A listing says a place is dog-friendly, not whether that means indoors or the outdoor tables, so ask before you walk in. Bring a lead and bags.

Every place was matched at two independent sources. Prices are printed only for the two cafes where we copied a menu.

gojé — 38 Anderson Street, Yarraville VIC 3013

Status: AGFG lists gojé as Pet Friendly, with Alfresco Dining and Takeaway also tagged. The address is 38 Anderson Street, Yarraville, matched across its own site, AGFG and OpenStreetMap. This page prints no hours for it, and its details may have changed, so check before you go.

Inside or outside only: the tag does not settle that for you, so ask the shop before you bring a dog in.

The Victoria Hotel — 188 Hyde Street, Yarraville VIC 3013

Status: the hotel’s own site calls it doggy friendly, in the same line that mentions its family-friendly bistro, kids play room and a beer garden with a kids playground. Its site lists Monday to Friday from 12pm, Saturday from 11:30am and Sunday 11am to 11pm. The address is 188 Hyde Street, Yarraville.

Inside or outside only: the line sits beside the beer garden, so ask whether dogs are welcome indoors as well.

Glovers — 34 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013

Status: AGFG lists Glovers as Pet Friendly, with Alfresco Dining and Vegan Options. Its own site lists Wednesday to Friday from 4pm and weekends from 12pm, and the address is 34 Ballarat Street, Yarraville. Details may have changed since we checked.

Bring: a lead and bags, and confirm with the bar where a dog can sit.

Mona Castle Hotel — 45-53 Austin Street, Seddon VIC 3011

Status: AGFG lists Mona Castle Hotel as Pet Friendly, with Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly, Takeaway and Live Music also tagged. The hotel’s own site, OpenStreetMap and AGFG all place it on Austin Street, Seddon. This page prints no hours for it.

Inside or outside only: ask the hotel which areas take dogs, as the Pet Friendly tag does not say.

Amara Coffee — 140 Victoria Street, Seddon VIC 3011

Status: AGFG lists Amara Coffee as Pet Friendly, with Alfresco Dining and Takeaway. AGFG lists it open every day from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and that directory listing may be out of date. The address is 140 Victoria Street, Seddon.

Status: AGFG lists West 48 as Pet Friendly, with Alfresco Dining, Takeaway and Vegan Options. Its own site lists Monday to Saturday 8am to 2pm and Sunday 9am to 2pm, at 48 Essex Street, Footscray.
