For your furever friends.
By Kiri Johnston | 28th April 2016You know the drill: you face your dog’s accusatory glare as you leave and as soon as you get to the venue you see other people with their dogs. Then you start feeling guilty for leaving your furry pal behind.
If you’re looking for some of the best dog-friendly venues, we’ve got them right here.
New Farm Park, New Farm
WATT Bar, New Farm
Round up your friends and BYO dog to enjoy a picnic in New Farm Park. You can even let them off for a play in the off-leash dog park and have a few cold beverages at WATT, a pet-friendly bar on the river.
Canine Comfort, Gumdale
Dogs are people too. Well, sort of. They feel like part of the family, anyway, so they should get spoiled as well. Canine Comfort is a pet retail store and coffee shop that caters for dogs as well as humans; you can grab a cappuccino while your dog has a lactose-free puppacchino from the extensive Barkery menu. They can even host a party for your four-legged friends, with delicious doggy treats like pup cakes and mutley muffins.
Kedron Brook Floodway Dog Park, Gordon Park
The Kedron Brook Bike Track stretches over 10 kilometres from Nundah to Mitchelton. On the other side of the river in Gordon Park near Montrose Street you’ll find an off-leash dog park with a creek running through it so your pup can enjoy a fun swim. Finish off the day with coffee and lunch up the road at Coffee House Windsor – there’s somewhere for your dogs to sit and they have some of the best coffee in Brisbane!
Sunday Sessions On The Green at River Quay, South Bank
Gather your four-legged friend and your human mates for Sunday Sessions at South Bank’s River Quay Green every Sunday. Relax and enjoy free live music with man’s best friend as you overlook the city.
Zoo Studio, Auchenflower
The photographers don’t just take beautiful images of your dog – they’re dog whisperers. They totally understand your emotional bond with your pet and will capture memories for you to cherish forever.
