Dancing Dog Cafe - Footscray

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good beers. We were there quite early in the evening but it seemed that they have different events (live music etc) during the week, so we may check it out again later this week.

It says cafe, but it really is a pub, kind of thornbury, coburg style, rambling, old, well worn, comfortable and enormous. there is an tiny outdoor area as you enter and another on the side with dodgy astro grass.it has a basic, cheap eats menu: we had nachos which was a hearty share meal for $11 packed with beans, cheese and sourcream. coffee was so so but we much return on an evening and try out the beers on tap which i forgot to check out.

Absolutely amazing! The staff alone made the experience worthwhile. The prices were reasonable compared to other coffee shops, and the food was excellent.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it fell short of my expectations.

I visited this restaurant during my first week in Australia to help overcome the severe jet lag from moving to a time zone that was 15 hours ahead of my own.
