This comes from Marrickville supporting a sense of community, where every member of a family is welcome - young, old, four-legged, whatever.
The finest and most welcoming example of this support is the Vic on the Park, a paw-friendly pub at 2 Addison Road.
Not only are everyone’s dogs allowed on the spacious back deck, they’re supplied with water bowls and there’s plenty of Schmacko’s behind the bar. So if you move to Marrickville, don’t be surprised if you get dragged to the pub by your dog all the time.
While most dog won’t be as keen on this news, the hotel car park now even operates a dog washing service on the weekends between 12 and 4pm. Which is pretty handy for humans.
The Vic on the Park’s support for dogs extends to other animals too, with the pub hosting events for Maggie’s Rescue, a Marrickville based animal welfare charity which finds homes for pets who don’t have one.
