’Tis truly the ideal season for bar hopping in Perth, and in this post you’ll find four itineraries featuring all four corners of the CBD. Read on for handpicked recommendations of shady spots to kick off your afternoon with nibbles and drinks,
Perth’s best rooftop bars to enjoy the sunset, sophisticated
wine bars in Perth, and quirky
hidden bars to wrap up your night.
The Northbridge bar hop
Northbridge offers the quintessential Perth bar-hopping experience. Start from the northern side of Perth Station.
First, head for some chilled-out courtyard eats and drinks. Try
Lot Twenty for $12 Bellini's, house-made sodas and a Spanish-inspired charcuterie board, or
Henry Summer for cocktail jugs, mocktails and meals to share (or not).
Then walk along William Street for a wine at North Bird or
Shadow Wine Bar. Both offer sophisticated seasonal share plates and an extensive range of expertly selected bottles.
From there it’s not far to
Hello Rooftop Bar at The Rechabite,
Mechanics Institute or
The Standard to enjoy the summer breeze as the sun sets beyond the city skyline.
Finally, you’re spoiled for choice with speakeasy-style bars hidden around Northbridge. Go behind the fridge door for live music at
Convenients, look for
Sneaky Tony’s in Chinatown, head underground to
Joe’s Juice Joint, or try to find
Toots, the secret bar WITHIN a secret bar.
