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 in and around Windsor are listed as pet friendly. Three are in Windsor, two in Balaclava and one in Prahran.
The status line for each is plain. AGFG tags every place as Pet Friendly. Those are listing tags, so we say AGFG lists them. One venue, Inkerman Hotel, also says on its own site that it has a dog friendly beer garden.
None of the sources we read says dogs are allowed inside. Check with the venue.
