The Feathers cafe

The Feathers Cafe is a casual cafe inside the Nissan Arena sporting complex at 590 Mains Road, Nathan. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area surrounding the cafe but are not permitted inside the indoor cafe space.

The dog setup. Dogs can settle beside tables in the open-air outdoor seating zone. Keep your dog on a leash at all times - the Nissan Arena precinct is high-traffic, especially on event days.

Good to know. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch, and quick bites, and is a convenient stop for coffee or a meal before or after Nissan Arena events. Hours are Mon-Fri 8am-1:30pm and Sat 8am-12pm, closed Sundays - check current hours before heading out, as sporting-venue cafes can shift schedules around events.

Getting there. Free parking lots, a parking garage, and free street parking are all available at the Nissan Arena precinct. Wheelchair-accessible car parking, entrance, and seating are provided.

Nearby with the dogs. For a proper walk, Toohey Forest offers trails across the Mains Road area in Tarragindi. Fenced off-leash options include Shaftesbury Street Big and Small Dog Parks in Tarragindi and Salisbury Recreation Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Salisbury.

Best visited on a quiet weekday morning if you want calm outdoor seating with your dog.
