Bar entertainment in Perth

  1. A

    Subiaco Hotel

    The Subi’s a local favourite and the institution of choice for a morning coffee with the papers or a pre-footy beer. It’s popular, too, for a Sunday sundowner or an afternoon of quiet beverages and people-watching.

    Luxe

    With retro wood panelling, big sexy lounge chairs and red-velvet curtains, Luxe is knowingly hip. Like any serious bar, it’s also armed with turntables and a specialist cocktail bar.

  3. C

    Leederville Hotel

    The something-for-everyone philosophy of the old Leederville is etched out in the sports screens, dance floors and pool tables – and it does them all well.

    Grapeskin

    Grapeskin is the Monkey’s somewhat up-market wine-bar cousin. It gets very crowded.

    Helvetica

    Clever artsy types tap their toes to delicious alternative pop in this bar named after a typeface and specialising in whisky and cocktails. The entry is off Howard St: look for the chandelier in the lane behind Andaluz tapas bar.

    Ezra Pound

    Down a much graffitied lane leading off William St, Ezra Pound is favoured by Northbridge's bohemian set.

  7. Elba

    Elba has taken its street name as inspiration and produced a slick little Napoleonic bar complete with sparkly chandeliers and a gilt-framed portrait of the little man. Come dressed for cocktails, although perhaps in flats out of deference. Napoleon St is one of the shopping streets running off the Stirling Hwy.

  8. Court

    A large, rambling gay and lesbian venue consisting of an old corner pub and a big, partly covered courtyard with a clubby atmosphere.

  10. 399

    It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this little local bar is an exemplar of the kind of personable establishment the new licensing laws have brought to Perth.
