The Salty Dog - Kingston

Had a very cool Nepalese bar attendant, friendly and fun, so was happy to revisit fun and welcoming. They've had an upgrade to the beer garden, and offer music on Sundays etc. Great venue for typical Sunday at the pub Aussie style. Inside on the cold nights, they have a nice big pot belly fire oven, and hold different events. Spoke to the owner and he said they had multiple vegan dishes, which resulted in 1 and I wasn't a fan of. Most of the time I had chips and beer seems to be my vegan outing staple. Great atmosphere, in terms of Aussie pub. Clean and hygienic, and large real estate. For vegan, maybe go with a group, eat up beforehand, and have some chips whilst there. Pricey chips, drink prices on the rise but a good place for meet ups and to enjoy Kingston beach. Updated from previous review on 2023 01 29

Had the tempura cauliflower. Very dense oily batter and the sauce was too sour and too salty.

We had the pickled veg salad starter, gado gado small meal and roasted cauliflower main. They were all really yum, picked veg was exceptional, gado gado was good but small serving probably not worth the money, and cauliflower was beautiful. Also a good vibe, good service, and good drink options. Would recommend.

A great pub with amazing food. The dude at the bar gave excellent recommendations for a special spicy beef pie and the chorizo soup. Happy happy happy start to our week in tassie

Beautiful location overlooking Kingston Beach. The service was friendly and quick (though it was quiet while we were there). We had the buffalo wings, Korean Chicken burger and Scotch Fillet. The wings and burger were wonderful, the steak was good but slightly over cooked. Prices are a little on the high side but you’re paying for the location. Lovely decor.
