Bar

Lola Underground

Descend this basement bar for a Euro-leaning cocktail menu with spritzes and Negronis alongside small plates like oysters, terrine and truffled toasties.

Bar

Lil’s Rooftop

Lil’s brings Mediterranean share plates, sunset drinks and weekend parties with a sharpened menu, rooftop terrace and plenty of room for dancing.

Bar

Deadbeat

Part dive bar, part time machine, this rambunctious CBD laneway joint is slinging rotating cocktails, jalapeno tots and full-throttle vibes that live loud and drink hard.

Bar

Folly

18 storeys up, this rooftop bar offers classic cocktails, local seafood and breathtaking skyline views. Bask in the sun with kingfish sashimi, crumbed snapper sandwiches and crispy Korean fried cauliflower.

Bar

The Leadlight

The brothers behind this spot run some of Perth’s best-loved beer gardens. There’s an Italian American-inspired bistro menu with an indulgent pizza-sandwich hybrid, schnitzel, and sirloin with curly fries.

Bar

Beaconsfield Wine Bar

This breezy neighbourhood bar – by a former Madalena’s venue manager – has something for everyone. Come for conventional and lo-fi wines, as well as strong non-alc options. Plus, wine bar snacks including a snacky cacio e pepe spinoff.

Bar

Bertie

With a strong by-the-glass list and cocktails by a bartending pro, Bertie has all the signs of a contemporary wine bar. The menu offers hard-to-find snacks like panko-armoured Scotch eggs and other British pub-inspired plates.

Cafe

Willing Coffee and Bar Vino

In May, Willing Coffee owners Veronique and Tim Willing turned their popular Central Avenue cafe into a wine bar. While Bar Vino is a community-minded space, there’s also some fine-diner in its DNA with a Mediterranean menu and 150-strong wine list.

Bar

Patio Bar

With lo-fi wines, small bites, DJs and local wines, this bar is the backdrop for an effortlessly cool, distinctly Fremantle afternoon.

Bar

Rhum Burgundy

A cocktail bar on Margaret River’s main street with sharp cocktails and wines. Order classics like Daiquiris and Mojitos, or be adventurous with barrel-aged Negronis and a Margarita-taco mashup.

Restaurant

Vin Populi

Wagyu bresaola, handmade pasta, lo-fi wines and the "Freo doctor" make a charming combo at this wine bar, which is from the team behind No Mafia and Balthazar.

Bar

Edward & Ida’s

Keep things traditional with a pie and Guinness on tap, or go off-piste with new-wave Midori Splices, curried Scotch eggs and other new-school, old-school pleasures.
