6House rules — the law vs. the field

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:

  • Central cocktail bars with pet-friendly stance typically accommodate small or medium dogs on a short lead at lower-volume weekday visits.
7Practical tips
  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 cocktail 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. Use the PMQ garden for a relief walk before/after the visit.
8On the record

OpenRice 4.4/5 across 3 reviews (small-sample but encouraging); reviewers consistently note the craft cocktails and sharing plates at the $101–200 price band, positioned as a Central cocktail bar. The venue is registered under the FEHD dog-friendly food premises permit with Cap 167D enforcement. Hollywood Road’s pedestrian-quiet weekday evenings are documented across the parent register.
