About The Paw Bar and Eatery

The Paw Bar and Eatery is a new bar and eatery concept coming soon to Parnell, built as a hangout for pets and their humans together. The idea pairs locally crafted brews and a full food menu for people with nutritional, gourmet snacks from a dedicated dog menu, giving pet owners a genuine spot to socialise with their pack rather than leaving the dog at home.

The human menu runs from shareable starters through PFC (Pawnell Fried Chicken) and burgers, wood-fired pizzas, and mains like sirloin steak and a Sri Lankan-style prawn curry, finishing with desserts like tiramisu and a warm chocolate brownie. A separate drinks menu and dog menu are also part of the concept.

As a coming-soon venue, The Paw Bar and Eatery isn't trading yet — people can follow along on social media or sign up on the website to be the first to know the opening date.

The Paw Bar and Eatery: A New Dog-Friendly Bar Concept Coming to Parnell

Coming soon to Parnell, The Paw Bar and Eatery is being built around a simple but bold idea: a bar and eatery where pets and their humans can hang out together, not one left waiting at home. It's being described as a vibrant new concept for the area, pairing locally crafted brews and a full food menu for people with nutritional, gourmet snacks from a dedicated dog menu.

Paw-Tizers, PFC and Pizza

The human side of the menu is built for sharing and socialising. Starters — branded "Paw-Tizers" — run from Nacho Nirvana and Jalapeño Poppers through to Crispy Prawn Paws and Sticky BBQ Pork Belly Bites, with a couple of Indian-inspired options in Samosa Smash Chaat and Dahi Puri. From there, the menu moves into PFC — Pawnell Fried Chicken — served Classic, Fiery Blaze or Honey Harmony, alongside an Ultimate Burger Selection with a choice of beef, BBQ pork, chicken, fish or veggie patty. A pizza section, "Slice of Heaven," covers the classics from Margherita Magic to a loaded Meat Feast and a veggie-packed Garden Lovers.

Bigger Plates

Mains lean into a broader mix of cuisines — a 250g Sirloin Steak with mushroom-rosemary sauce, a Sri Lankan-style Prawn Hub Curry, Sheikh's Special Kebab with hummus and rice, a Golden Chicken Schnitzel, classic Fisherman's Catch fish and chips, and a Garden Salad with Falafel for something lighter. Dessert keeps it simple with a Tiramisu and a Warm Chocolate Brownie with vanilla ice cream, and sides cover the essentials from Shoestring Fries to Cheesy Garlic Bread.

Built for the Whole Pack

What sets The Paw Bar and Eatery apart is the pet-focused concept running through the whole venue — alongside the human menu and drinks list, there's a dedicated dog menu, so four-legged guests get their own gourmet snacks while their owners eat and drink. It's positioned as a bold new way for people and their pets to socialise together in Parnell.
