D'Nest Bar & Restaurant

D'Nest Bar & Restaurant is a roomy sports pub in the Langford shopping strip, running fourteen screens for AFL and other live sport alongside pub staples like chicken parmi and pizza. It is also a genuinely easy dog venue: pets are welcome across the outdoor garden and patio areas, which are where most of the good tables are anyway.

The dog setup

Dogs stay in the outdoor garden and patio, with the indoor dining room and bar off limits for food safety reasons, so this is an outdoor-table venue by definition. Staff will usually bring a water bowl on request, though a travel bowl in the bag covers you on busy days. Keep your dog leashed and settled at your table; there is no pet fee, since this is dining rather than accommodation.

Pepsi: pick a patio table away from the walkway, it saves your dog from a stream of legs every time the venue fills for a match.

Worth knowing

The pull here is sport on the big screens plus generously sized pub meals and a wide drinks list, including mocktails. Weekday lunch is the quiet window for a relaxed sit-down with a dog, while major AFL fixtures fill the place and lift the noise. If a garden table matters on game day, book ahead. Trading runs from 11am daily, staying open later on Friday and Saturday nights.

Getting there and parking

You will find the pub at 72 Langford Avenue, in the commercial strip just off Metcalfe Road, with free on-site parking out front. Transperth buses run along Langford Avenue if you would rather leave the car at home.

Close by with the dogs

The Canning River Regional Park in nearby Wilson keeps dogs on leash on its riverside trails, so it is a leg-stretch option rather than a run-free one; the Canning River Nature Walk captures that stretch well. For proper off-leash time, the City of Canning maintains dedicated exercise parks, including the fully fenced Ranford Fenced Dog Park in Canning Vale, a short drive southwest. Back at the shops, Kaffeku covers the coffee end of the strip.
