• Lead time: weekday happy hour (18:00–20:00) is calmer; weekend evening fills.
• Pet-section hours: same as the bar’s general hours.

• Pet menu / treats: none.
• Price band: OpenRice $201–400 per person.
• Payment methods (OpenRice): cash, FPS, Octopus, major cards typically accepted.

• Off-leash permitted? No. Treat as on-leash throughout; FEHD baseline applies.

The law, per the FEHD scheme baseline (Cap 167D + Dog-Friendly Food Premises Permit conditions):

• Leash length ≤ 1.5 m (FEHD baseline).
• No dogs on dining tables or bar seats (FEHD rule).
• 1.5 m exclusion from open buffets and salad bars (not applicable here).
• Dangerous Dog Regulation (Cap 167D) breeds are excluded by law.
• AFCD e-licence via iAM Smart should be carried.

What the field reports:

• Wine / lounge bars with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead at lower-volume weekday visits.

1. Visit on a weekday happy hour — quieter, with more room for a small or medium dog.
2. Bring a portable water bowl — staff do not supply one.
3. Carry AFCD e-licence — the venue is on the FEHD register.
4. Order a wine flight — the bar’s signature.
5. Avoid Cap 167D breeds — the FEHD permit does not override the parent ordinance.
6. Pick the corner bench — quieter for a small or medium dog.
7. Bring a mat — the bench is metal-framed.
8. Pick weekday over weekend — Lockhart Road is pedestrian-tight on Saturday evenings.

OpenRice 3.7/5 across 3 reviews (small-sample caution applies); reviewers consistently note the wine pairings and sharing plates at the $201–400 price band, positioned as a Causeway Bay wine lounge. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement. Lockhart Road’s pedestrian pressure on Saturday evenings is documented across the parent register.
