Overview

If your pet pup firmly thinks that he or she can do everything that you can do, then the four-legged critter mightn't be so thrilled when you head out of the house without them. One place that you can't always take your barking bestie: the movies. Every Sunday at Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema, however, they can indeed accompany you — and wag their tail in delight at a big-screen outing.

It's now been almost two years since Brisbane scored a new place to watch movies under the stars all year round — and not just in summer. That's when Brisbane Powerhouse, which had played host to openair picture palaces before, permanently became home to Dendy's outdoor setup. It doesn't screen every single night, but it will give you an outside moviegoing experience every weekend.

Only Sundays are for pooches, no matter what's on the big screen. If your dog always wants a snack when you have one, too, there's bites on offer just for them.

There are a few conditions of entry, so you'll need to as keep your pup on a leash of two metres or under, pick up after them, and bring both water and a drinking container so that they don't get thirsty.
