Is this Melbourne’s most dog-friendly bar? Pendant has an old soul and new tricks

Introducing Good Food’s new monthly bar review, kicking off with a spot that pours $10 pints of Guinness and boasts fine-tuned cocktails.

Melbourne's bar scene is renowned for its diversity, offering everything from sophisticated cocktail lounges to cozy pubs steeped in history. But could Pendant, a newcomer on the block, be vying for the title of Melbourne's most dog-friendly bar? This month, Good Food launches its new monthly bar review with a spotlight on Pendant, a venue that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern sensibilities.

Pendant isn’t just another trendy watering hole. It’s a place where you can unwind with a perfectly poured $10 pint of Guinness, a price that's increasingly rare in the city, while your furry companion relaxes comfortably by your side. The bar’s dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere for dogs is evident, though specific details on dog-focused amenities weren't immediately available. Still, the overall vibe is one of inclusivity and relaxation.

Beyond the promise of canine companionship, Pendant also boasts a carefully curated cocktail menu. While the bar may have an "old soul," hinting at classic design elements or a traditional pub feel, its cocktail program suggests a commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. The review promises a look at the fine-tuned drinks on offer, implying a level of sophistication beyond the standard pub fare.

The Good Food review aims to delve deeper into what makes Pendant stand out. Is it the combination of affordable drinks and a dog-friendly policy? Or is it the skillful execution of classic and contemporary cocktails? Perhaps it's the overall atmosphere, a blend of the traditional and the modern, that truly sets it apart.

Melburnians are known for their love of both good food and their four-legged friends. Pendant seems to be tapping into both these passions, offering a unique experience that caters to a wide range of tastes. Whether you're a dog owner looking for a new hangout, a Guinness enthusiast on a budget, or a cocktail connoisseur seeking expertly crafted drinks, Pendant might just be the place to be. The full Good Food review promises to reveal whether this newcomer truly lives up to the hype and can lay claim to being Melbourne's most dog-friendly bar.
