Was there for a gig featuring Skinny Adi Collective. Interesting set with some punchy drumming by Rhys, thrumming bass by Andrew and some super bursts of lead by Adi. The PA system leaves something to be desired. Very cheerful and helpful people behind the bar; thanks for a memorable evening. Cheers.

Live Music 7 days a week Sundays even feature two bands. More importantly Top Bar & Wait staff with a quality Menu serving one my Favorite Eye Filet Steaks in all of Melbourne accompanied by a variety of sides and sauces even with a choice of an amazing Gorgonzola topping!!!

  • Genevieve Engelhardt

Having moved back to St Kilda about a year ago, The Dogs Bar has become a local. Great food, especially for the price, good drinks, lovely staff and great (free) live music. A small menu, but it's quality over quantity here. Definitely worth the visit.

  • Amanda Harmon

Fantastic cajun offerings - shout out to Chris in the kitchen for hooking it up. Amazing corn riblets seasoned with chipotle and served with avocado/guacamole. Mac n cheese was also delicious. Appreciated Heaps Normal being offered at the bar as well!

  • Graham Abbott

A tale in two parts. Went for dinner prior to a show at the Palais. Main courses were out reasonably quickly and food wasi very nice... really tasty and well presented. Had some time up our sleeve so a few of us decided to have a dessert...

  • Ninjazu Zu

Been drinking and eating dinner here for years. It feels like your local pub with open windows, sitting outside in the sun drinking, listening to the music, drinking by yourself watching the world go by or with friends. I can not fault this

  • Graham

Love the Dogs Bar. I go there often. My local. Usually has great bands. Great service. Great range of wines. Melbourne's first designated wine bar I think. Fantastic warm, friendly ambience reminiscent of my local in Warrnambool, the Hotel

  • Robert Howlett

I love it! Looks like an ex shop or similar but done out like a tatty bar with lots of character. Selection of beers adequate but not excellent (not beer country) but great draught wines at good prices. Live music every night, and based on

Called in at Dogs Bar on a Tuesday night looking for somewhere for a quick bite before a show at the Palais. Wasn’t sure what to expect but we were blown away by the experience. The staff were all really helpful and made sure our food was

  • John Ward

Fantastic bar. Very friendly bar, that makes you feel like a local, even when visiting from interstate. Very, very good food at very reasonable prices. The music during the week 18 to 24 Oct, 2016 was top notch. Good place to meet with

  • Lorinda Jane

I love the Dog's Bar. It's a great place to just hang out with friends, have a few drinks and enjoy a good feed and it always has been. I love the fact that it is one of a handful of establishments in St Kilda that has retained it's

Sunday roast hit the mark! Sometimes you just miss a British/Irish style roast dinner on Sundays, and how happy are we that we have found one close to home that was sooo good! Great veg and awesome cauliflower cheese. Brilliant.

  • Matty J

Dogs Bar is the cosy pub that every suburb needs. Good beer selection that is well priced, friendly staff and meals are well above average. I have the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce and loved it. Will be back again.

  • Vangelis Stama

Good music, great vibe, good selection of wines and some nice beers on tap. The food is pretty good too. The curly fries are really worth it and the calamari isn't just fake rings, it's actual pieces of calamari.

  • Nic Haberle

Warm cosy and intimate bar that feels very homely. Dogs bar is a decent bar with good priced beers and live music every night of the week. The atmosphere is generally more relaxed than other bars in St Kilda.

I'm trans/ non binary and went here for a first date. I have issues with social and generalised anxiety and was super nervous. the bar staff were so.lovely and nothing was a trouble. the food was delicious

  • Dave Stone

Classic live pub in St Kilda, we went there two nights in a row and had a great time both nights. Plenty of character in the walls and in the crowd. Live cover bands, that do play original songs as well.

  • Mark Perrett

The band was great. Cosy atmosphere. The food was terrible. Gumbo was a bowl of soup and some rice. Found 3 or 4 bits of meat in there. 6 chicken wings are really 3 chicken wings cut in half and burnt.

  • Wo0

Great joint for some live music, catching up with mates and a drink or two. Food menu is also a kicker with daily specials and all are neatly executed better than your average bar food in that region.

  • g cree

This is a great place. I came in during happy hour and got a pint for $9. I stayed for the live music, which was great. The food is really good and the staff are friendly. Would highly recommend!

  • Robert Lloyd

I love the Dog's Bar! A warm and friendly place in the land of St Kilda. The owner certainly is a supporter of the Arts and it shows - always great paintings or photography on the walls.

Danced till dawn (ok 11pm) , the band had everyone on their feet, strangers dancing (and hugging) and the atmosphere was electric. The best fun in St Kilda, no question.
