Hoppers Garden Bar

Hoppers Garden Bar in Ponsonby is a vibrant, welcoming spot where your four-legged best friend is treated like a VIP. Despite the name, the venue is more of a quirky, relaxed courtyard bar than a sprawling botanical garden, but it offers plenty of comfortable, open-air space for dogs of all sizes to settle in while you enjoy craft beers and sharing plates. The staff are incredibly accommodating to furry visitors, actively celebrating their canine guests to the point of featuring them on a dedicated Instagram page (@dogsofhoppers). With its laid-back communal tables and lively atmosphere, it’s the perfect inner-city hangout for you and your pup to enjoy a weekend afternoon together.
