The Local Beerwah Cafe & Bar

The Local Beerwah Cafe & Bar is a modern cafe and bar at 18/44 Simpson Street in the Beerwah Village Shopping Centre, and dogs are welcome in the alfresco seating out the front. It runs all-day service from 7:30am, covering brunch through dinner with coffee and cocktails on the same menu.

The dog setup

Aim for the alfresco tables, because the indoor dining room is not dog territory. Staff are used to dogs in the outdoor area and will usually sort out a water bowl if you ask; a mat helps your dog settle on the paving.

The vibe

This is a casual community spot known for eggs benedict, generous portions and gluten-free options, alongside burgers, fish and chips and steak, with craft beer and cocktails for the evening. Weekends bring live music, so Saturday and Sunday are busier and louder, which suits a social dog and less so a nervous one.

Pepsi: weekday breakfast on the alfresco is the sweet spot, quiet tables, a water bowl on request, and a proper feed before the Glass House trails.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits inside the Beerwah Village Shopping Centre with free off-street parking, and access is flat and easy from the car park to the outdoor tables. Hours run to 2pm most days, extending to 4pm Thursday and Friday.

Make a day of it

The 2.4km Woodgrove Circuit is a short walk away for an easy on-lead loop before or after a meal, and Mill Park Fenced Dog Park is close by in central Beerwah if your dog needs a proper off-lead run.
