Overview
The Moon Dog crew doesn't really do understated. Its brewery bars are not only large in size but usually have a theme and playful food and drink lineup. Moon Dog Wild West out in Footscray even has a free-to-ride bucking bull and is made for big group parties.
And now, the team is going even bigger with Doglands — its 1200-person island themed bar within the revamped Marvel Stadium Concourse, which is slated to open in October this year.
The original plans included an indoor volcano and hidden karaoke room, but these have sadly been left out to accommodate more punters. However, it will still have a palm tree-lined boardwalk that snakes around the entire venue, plus a live music stage and jungle-themed terrace restaurant.
The team will serve classic pub food, Moon Dog beers and seltzers, wine, spirits, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks in the main venue.
Vacay-inspired specials like a Jungle Spritz with Campari, dark rum and pineapple, and a Volcano Bowl Negroni will bring even more playful energy to the Doglands adventureland experience.
And those who head over to The Jungle Room will find a slightly elevated dining experience with Med-inspired food and drinks. More details on exactly what's on offer here are yet to be announced, but we'll be sure to share more once it's all finalised.
Moon Dog's Doglands will open in October 2024, and can be found at 685 La Trobe Street, Docklands. For more information, you can check out the venue's website.
