The Guide's rating

Directions

The rules, in short

Before you go

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas of the venue. The brewery describes itself as a pet friendly venue outside, which means the indoor bar and dining rooms are not open to dogs. Keep dogs leashed and at your table.

No formal lead rule is published by the venue, but as a licensed premises on a main road, a lead is expected and sensible.

When
Daytime Evenings Open seven days from 11.30am until late. Lunch is served from midday to 2.30pm, pizza and chips are available all day, and there is an evening dinner service. Opens at midday on Good Friday and Anzac Day, and closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Cost
Mid range Beers and a full food menu at menu prices.
Dog fee
Not published No charge is stated for bringing a dog.

Worth knowing before you arrive

  • Dogs are welcome outside only, so a wet or cold day means sitting in the weather
  • It fronts the Great Alpine Road, so keep leads short near the street
  • Busy through ski season and school holidays, when outdoor tables fill early
  • Closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, with a later midday opening on Good Friday and Anzac Day

About Bright Brewery

Bright Brewery sits on the Great Alpine Road on the edge of town, which makes it the obvious landing point after a morning on the trails around the Ovens Valley. The brewery states plainly on its own site that it is a pet friendly venue outside, so a dog on a lead can join you at any of the outdoor tables while the inside rooms stay dog free. Food runs all day, with a lunch service, pizza and chips through the afternoon and a dinner service in the evening, and guided brewery tours are offered for anyone who wants to see the kit. It opens seven days from late morning until late, so it suits both a post walk beer and a longer evening. Bright is a walkable town, so most dog friendly accommodation is within strolling distance and you are not stuck driving afterwards.

Which dogs it suits

Small Medium Large Giant

An unambiguous, operator stated dog policy in a town built for walking, with all day food and long hours, which is exactly what a travelling dog owner needs. Not a five because the welcome is outdoor only and no dog specific facilities such as water bowls or a dog menu are confirmed by the venue itself.

Best for

a beer after a High Country walk long afternoons with a well behaved dog travellers basing themselves in Bright groups where some people want a brewery tour

Getting around

The venue is single level and wheelchair accessible from the Great Alpine Road, according to the brewery.
