Paws and Pints

Overview

Does your pet pooch have its own calendar? We're not talking about monthly cute canine pics — although every pet owner should definitely make their own. Rather, we mean a system to keep track of your doggo's social engagements. Given the number of pupper-friendly events happening around Brisbane, it's really not that far-fetched.

Paws and Pints joined the growing list of markets, festivals, paddleboard sessions last November, and it's back to do so again on February 11. The Osbourne Hotel's doggy drinking session isn't just a chance to take your furry best friend for a few brews — with stalls, a puppy photo booth, a doggo door prize, drinks specials over Yappy Hour and donations going to the Animal Welfare League, it's quite the occasion.

If the concept sounds familiar, that's because downing a few bevs with your barking mate in tow is becoming quite the Brissie trend. In fact, if you're taking old Fido to the Valley for this booze sesh, you can also walk him around a couple of corners to The Brightside's equivalent.
