PUPPIES & PINTS AT THE TAV! 🐶🍻

We’re teaming up with elliesk9rescue for our first-ever Puppies & Pints on Sunday 1 November!

They’ll be bringing some of their adorable foster pups along for an afternoon of cuddles, pints and raising money for a pretty awesome cause.

And just look at some of the lil faces you’ll get to meet 💛💛

Here’s how it works:

🍺 $15 gets you a pint of Tavern L***r or house mocktail, plus puppy cuddles, with $3 going directly to Ellie’s.

🐶 Not drinking? No worries! You can still come along for puppy cuddles with a $5 donation.

📅 Sunday 1 November
⏰ 12-3pm
📍 Cuba St Tavern

Come down, meet the pups and help us support the wonderful work Ellie’s does rescuing and rehoming dogs in Welly.

And if you know someone who could do with a few puppy cuddles, we dare you to send it to them!

Family friendly too 🥰
