The Best Bar in Perth, Western Australia

Background Illustration for Nightlife

Perth’s inner city has gone through a significant revitalization; it’s now a hotbed of classy small bars that buzz until midnight and later. Twenty- and thirtysomethings also flock to Northbridge, Leederville, Mount Lawley, Subiaco, or Fremantle. Pubs generally close by midnight, which is when the crowds start arriving at the nightclubs; these tend to stay open until around 5 am.

Stories

This is not just any bar, it's a multitiered layering of watering holes, funky saloons, and restaurants. Start in the Front Yard or Pourhouse for craft beer on tap and snacks. From there, head to the Fat Controller, a hidden bar within the Pourhouse, dedicated to all things railway for G&Ts and fancy cocktails. Once you're feeling a bit groovy, dance off any excess energy at the rooftop club, which surprisingly is teeming with a wide range of ages, so don't be shy. If you're feeling peckish in between venues, dine in at one of the three eateries, each with its own style and cuisine.
