Norfolk Hotel

Top choice in Fremantle


Slow down to Freo pace at this 1887 pub. Interesting guest beers wreak havoc for the indecisive drinker, and the food and pizzas are very good (share plates $9-24, mains $19-40). The heritage limestone courtyard is a treat, especially when sunlight dapples through elms and eucalypts. Downstairs, the Odd Fellow channels a bohemian small-bar vibe and has live music Wednesday to Saturday from 7pm.
