Outback BBQ & Bar

The food was good and except for the pasta salad gluten free, the bar had nonalcoholic beer and wine which was great too. BUT our whole experience was ruined because Reception at the campground (which is dog friendly) told us we could bring our dog with us for dinner to this pub. However, when I politely asked the staff upon arrival where we could sit with our dog to have dinner I got the most unpleasant, unfriendly response that dogs were not allowed and we should read the sign with the rules ( in the middle of the restaurant where we were not allowed. I mentioned that reception sent us and asked if we should go away. Again a rude response and when I turned the staff member said, well you can site at the table in the far corner, we went there to be told by yet another staff member that we could not sit there. Turns out we could sit at the table and chairs outside the restaurant where the people wait for the bus. We did sit there and got our drinks and food and ate in the sigarette smoke of the other unfavourite guests. We spoke to other people with a dog who ate at the uncovered tables close to the BBQs but we were not allowed to sit there. This pub should have a look at the brewery in Alice Springs for example where they allow dogs in the beer garden. Just a few more dig friendly tables is not that hard to set up. And it is even easier to be friendly and say unfortunately you can't sit under the roof but we have a couple of tables you can use, apologies for the terrible location, this is all we have.
