Skinny Dog Hotel

A great spot for summer food and drinks with your mates! The rooftop is covered but still holds the vibes and has great lighting! Super cool set up and great share plate options! The staff are lovely too! ☺

Nestled amidst the charming streets of Kew, the Skinny Dog Hotel stands out as a vibrant hub of local flavor and convivial atmosphere. From the moment you step through the doors, you're enveloped in a warm embrace of hospitality, where friendly staff and a laid-back ambiance set the tone for a memorable dining experience.

The pub's two distinct levels offer something for everyone. Downstairs, cozy booths and a spacious beer garden provide a perfect setting for casual gatherings and indulging in their delectable pub grub. Upstairs, a stylish and sophisticated space exudes a touch of Palm Springs glamour, ideal for more intimate occasions or simply relishing the refined ambiance.

The Skinny Dog Hotel's culinary offerings are a testament to their commitment to quality and flavor. Their menu features an enticing array of classic pub fare, expertly prepared with fresh ingredients and a focus on local produce. Every bite is a symphony of tastes, from their mouthwatering burgers and succulent steaks to their crispy fish and chips and hearty vegetarian options. The signature Parma was just OK however.

Beyond the culinary delights, the Skinny Dog Hotel is a haven for sports enthusiasts. With multiple screens displaying live sporting events, it's the perfect place to catch the game with friends and soak up the electrifying atmosphere.

Whether you're seeking a casual meal, a lively night out, or a private function, the Skinny Dog Hotel seamlessly caters to your every need. Their dedication to exceptional service, delectable cuisine, and a welcoming environment makes it a true Kew gem, a place where locals and visitors alike can unwind, savor, and connect.

In summary, the Skinny Dog Hotel is more than just a pub; it's an embodiment of the quintessential Australian pub experience, where good food, friendly faces, and a touch of sophistication come together to create an unforgettable dining adventure.

Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my 50th birthday with my family and friends in such a spectacular way. You were amazing and the staff could not have been better. Thank you to Freddie and the chef and all the girls that looked after my family on my birthday.

Especially thanks to Ro, events are always a big event and you helped me make my birthday a special day.

We all had a great day and I appreciate all the effort.

Great local watering hole with a broad and tasty dining and drinks menu. Lamb shanks were delicious as was the seafood fetticini. Friendly and attentive staff made for a delightfully pleasant lunch.

The "Bob" parma was a huge serving and tasted like a chizza. Absolutely delicious.

We celebrated a special event here in the upstairs Parker room. The food; service; and atmosphere were all perfect. Ro from events was a pleasure to correspond with leading up to the occasion and throughout our event. She followed up on all details we requested and the day was honestly beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed by our guests too. Thank you Ro & team!

Very wheelchair friendly and accessible. Better to call ahead and get a booking and they will have your table ready to go. Fantastic serving size and the food is delicious. Excellent service and the drinks were kept topped up. 10/10 recommend especially for people who need accessibility.

came in for parma night with my family and was met with super friendly staff that found us a table even tho we walked in with no booking!! parmas came out fast and we were met with a free drink included in the $25 parma deal😍
can always rely on the skinny dog for a good parma and great service😋

started off downhill with a few items on menu not available, but it all went amazingly after that!

food was impeccable!!

service was even better. Ben was absolutely amazing and so sweet! gave us a free drink for the inconvenience ☺ !

the service from Ben definitely saved them from a 1 star review 😅
could not recommend this place enough! not only from the food too the service or the atmosphere. but the whole place in general! we drove all the way from geelong and it did not disappoint 🥰🥰

Great place to hang out with your mates or kids. I went to watch the ANZAC day match and see the Pies dominate the Dons and the staff were helpful and food and drinks reasonably priced and quality. Check out the size of the Parma! Fed my three kids and a free pot for me, for $20 that’s amazing!

Love the Tuesday steak night. $20 for rump and Congress with salad and steak chips. Thursday parma night is also great value at $20. The parma was huge and available in a variety of sauces.

Ro and the team - Fantastic service and food. Went for my birthday on Saturday night and the food was beautiful!!!! - See photo of my Parma!! Well done Skinny Dog!

Ben is AMAZING he made amazing drinks and was so so nice to us all they is so amazing

We had our Christmas Party in the one of the new private Rooftop Areas and was thrilled with the service we received. From organising the space through to post event, Ro and the team have been responsive, easy to deal with and very accommodating.

The food and drinks were great and catered to everyones dietaries. Would definitely recommend!

We had our End of Year Staff Break-up in the Skinny Dog Hotel - Roof garden. Was a fantastic day. Food was great, we had our own Bar and balcony, everyone had a fantastic time. Will be there again next near.

Ordered the Signature Skinny Dog Chicken Parma (whole). The crispy chips and salad were a good side to the delicious parma.

The 'whole' size is fairly large but manageable if you are hungry. They used a good amount of cheese and sauce and a large slice of ham. The chicken itself was nice and juicy (albeit slightly nearing too juicy) and the right amount of thickness. The sauce, even though plentiful, tasted a bit plain/basic however. Still a delicious dish overall and recommended!

We had a great time at the rooftop tonight. Great vibe! Staff and manager are very lovely!

Lovely local pub that I don't frequent enough. Good food and great atmosphere.

Love the new upstairs rooftop! The vibes and atmosphere is amazing and refreshing. Love the live music on a Friday night including happy hour which is a nice bonus! I like that they clearly state on their online booking service that the specials aren’t available upstairs making it perfectly clear. Overall, cannot fault the skinny dog, it’s my favourite local!

Regular customer and the food and drinks are too notch, great hangout spot and Thursdays Parma night is always a blast.
