About Abattoir Blues

A historic precinct escape away from the stadium concourse, Abattoir Blues delivers hearty cafe fare and pre-event calm. Settle in beneath the garden marquee or grab an indoor booth—this spot takes advance table bookings when the rest of Olympic Park is packed. Concertgoers drop in for espresso martinis and quick plates, while weekend regulars stretch out mornings over chilli scrambled eggs on thick sourdough, shakshuka, and spiced maple benedict with crunchy bacon and broccolini.

  • Pre-event reservations: Advance table bookings provide a dependable seat before stadium matches and concerts.
  • Heritage garden escape: Historic garden setting with indoor booths, marquee shade, and pet-friendly outdoor tables.
  • Weekend brunch fare: Breakfast favorites include spiced maple benedict, chilli scrambled eggs, and fresh batch brew.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, event timing, and seating options for your visit

  • Reserve Ahead for Stadium Events

    Book a table in advance on major concert and match days, as the venue fills up quickly while neighbouring spots remain walk-in only.

  • Allow Extra Time on Busy Mornings

    Set aside extra time during peak event mornings; staff actively manage expectations when orders surge, but prep times can be extended.

  • Choose Outdoor and Marquee Seating

    Take advantage of shaded outdoor seating or the marquee during warm days or when traveling with pets.
