This Surry Hills Pub Is Turning into a Canine Retreat for The Month of June — Including a Free "Pawkie" With Gravy, and Plush Wool Beds
Forrester's beloved Yappy Hour just got a cold-weather upgrade, and your pup is the VIP.
If your dog could design a perfect afternoon, it'd probably look something like this: a roaring fire, a cosy nook to curl up in, and a proper snack waiting on arrival. Forrester's in Surry Hills has essentially made that a reality — and it's available every day between 11–30 June.
The beloved inner-city local has long been one of Sydney's most dog-welcoming spots — think treats behind the bar, water bowls on standby, and an entire wall of polaroids dedicated to its most loyal four-legged regulars. But from 11 to 30 June, things are getting even cosier, with a winter residency that turns the pub into something of a canine retreat.

At the centre of it all is the Pawkie: Forrester's signature dog treat, a mini Yorkshire pudding served with gravy and dog-friendly kibble. Usually reserved for Tuesday Yappy Hour only, the snack is now complimentary for every dog dining alongside their owner, every day of the residency.
Beyond the free feed, the venue has been fitted out with plush wool dog beds from MiniJumbuk, creating dedicated rest zones for tired pups to settle into while their humans work through the drinks list. There are also weekly giveaways of those same beds for lucky guests, plus a co-branded keepsake coaster to take home.
The MiniJumbuk x Forrester's residency runs from 11 to 30 June.
