Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Rottnest Island

"Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Perth Region, Western Australia MorningCruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle, its streets filled with stories of convicts, maritime heroes, murderous mutineers and pioneers. Taste the past on a tour of Fremantle Prison, the state's first jail and largest convict built structure, and check out Western Australian Maritime Museum, overlooking the Indian Ocean, which features the winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II, an Oberon class submarine and the 17th century Dutch Batavia shipwreck."

"You simply cannot visit Perth without taking a trip to Fremantle in the outskirts of the city, where you will find one of Western Australia’s best microbreweries. The building actually used to be a crocodile farm (c’mon, you can’t get more Aussie than that), but today is home to one of the top-rated beer gardens in Australia, with some pretty epic cider and beer options. Food wise, take your pick from tasty woodfired pizza, meat dishes, seafood and veggie options."

"One of the first craft beers in Australia, Little Creatures occupies prime warehouse and restaurant space on the waterfront. You can tour the brewery, or simply relax with a cold, refreshing pils and get a bite to eat. The food there is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting."

"Cosy little date nights, sunshine laden weekends or the perfect setting for group dinner and drinks. Yes, Strange Company has it all, and it really does continue to punch hard when it comes to both an impressive food offering and delightful wine list to accompany. The little share plates are utterly delectable, with half shell scallops, strange fries with smoked aioli, fresh natural oysters and so on."

"Open for just over a year, Strange Company has already made its mark on historic Fremantle as a uniquely modern venue with a refined and open aesthetic. Their Spanish-inspired tapas menu, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, duck and pork rillettes and mushroom croquettes, are perfect for a table for two. With their wide variety of local beers and wine, you won’t be strangers for long!"

"Fabulous cocktails (try the spiced daiquiri), WA craft beers and slick, good-value food make Strange Company a sophisticated alternative to the raffish pubs along South Tce. It's still very laid-back, though –..."

"In Australia, the name David Thompson goes hand in hand with Thai cuisine and his Perth venture lives up to the hype."

"The east end of Freo brings a bustling hub that allows you to get the best of every world by eating, drinking, working, and playing all under the roof of a beautifully historic warehouse. houses several restaurants, cocktail bars, and an incubation kitchen perfect for your morning coffee, dinner, and even late-night drinks. Combining Asian-infused flavors and dishes from the Nikkei Cuisine lies Don Tapa and nearby speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar, Alter Ego, serving up drinks to kick-start your night."

"While the courtyard of Stables Bar is a beautiful setting that might tempt us all, we can at least enjoy their tasty food as a takeaway option now. Place your order, pick up and devour."

"Any pilgrimage to Fremantle wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the place where it all began. The Sail & Anchor Pub was the place where Phil Sexton and his uni mates turned the former Freemasons' Hotel into a brewpub in the early 1980s and, out the back, brewed the beer widely acknowledged as the first of the contemporary craft beer era: a traditional English ale called Anchor Bitter. They went on to form Matilda Bay Brewing and famously introduced flavours beyond staple lagers to an eager West Australian public while also demonstrating how pubs could be done better – and be made welcoming to women – too."

"Go on a pub crawl to check out Fremantle’s craft brewers such as The Monk Brewery and Kitchen and the heritage-listed Sail & Anchor Hotel. Finish at the large and bustling Little Creatures Brewery on Fishing Boat Harbour. Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House. Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."

"Built in 1854, this historic Fremantle landmark helped start the Australian craft-beer movement a couple of decades ago, but the venerable Sail & Anchor has lost some lustre over recent years."

"The undeniable draw of King Somm might be enough to make us move to Bayswater – that’s what fans we are of this neighbourhood pizzeria, bar and bottleshop. Wine connoisseurs will surely be into their rotating selection of lo-fi drops, while pizza snobs can get into the 72- hour, “pasta riporto” dough and judicious use of toppings. Add in a team stacked with hospo veterans?"

"Put your hand up if in addition to supermarkets and pharmacies, you think bottle shops are an essential service?. The team behind this Bayswater bar, boutique bottle shop and restaurant must agree as they are delivering pasta, pizza and wine to surrounding areas, as well as having it available to pick up."

"At King Somm they will be serving up the Masterchef approved pizzas for takeaway, as well as delicious pasta – to give you a break from the packet pasta and Dolmio combination. For $40 you can enjoy a tasty pizza and a paired wine of the day. Explore the full menu kingsomm.com.au."

"South Beach is ideal for families, with a playground, lots of shaded areas, walking tracks and even a dog beach. There's also a café on site serving meals and takeaway snacks."

"If you were to head a little further north from Cottelsoe, you’d soon end up at Swanbourne Beach – a short drive from Be Fremantle again. It’s a unique beach compared to many of the other nearby beaches for a couple of reasons. The first is the location."

"Leighton Beach is adjacent to Port Beach and shares many of the same beach characteristics. While swimming and snorkelling are favourite activities here, the waves aren’t as defined as along Port Beach. The northern section of the beach is considered Leighton Dog Beach, with a specified dog exercise area."

"The hub for the East Fremantle community, May Street Larder caters to the “young” and the “young at heart” alike!. Book for the artisan high tea for that special occasion of yours or to simply catch up with a friend. Indulge in the artisan high tea that features an array of innovative sweet and savoury delights."

"S&T nails everything that we love about Thai food: fresh, vibrant, sweet and tangy with a healthy kick of heat. Their menu strikes the balance between accessibility for those less familiar with Thai cuisine (yes, you can get a green curry, or some pad thai), and plenty that are primed to become your new favourites. We can’t go through a summer without at least one papaya salad followed by durian icecream – served with sweet sticky rice, creamed milk and roasted peanuts, it’s a game changer."

"For all of your authentic Thai favourites, from fresh papaya salad to charcoal beef, plus some contemporary riffs of the cuisine (curry pies anyone?) this spot located in the Old Shanghai food court is your go-to. Head down for take-away, or jump on Uber Eats to get your fix."

"Go on a pub crawl to check out Fremantle’s craft brewers such as The Monk Brewery and Kitchen and the heritage-listed Sail & Anchor Hotel. Finish at the large and bustling Little Creatures Brewery on Fishing Boat Harbour. Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House. Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."
