Best Nightlife in Perth

"Nestled in a beautiful heritage building in Fremantle, Young George on George Street is a unique neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food. Purveyors of craft wine, beer, cider and spirits, grab a table at the bar and settle in with friends for an after-work catch up as a buzz of lively conversation surrounds you and peruse a globally inspired menu of share plates. Rusticity abounds with stone walls with brick feature archways, polished concrete and black table settings, while the downstairs cellar is an ideal area for private parties and group bookings."

"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."

"Grab lunch and a beer at Little Creatures Brewery. Make your way back to the city to explore Kings Park and Botanic Garden. September hosts the Kings Park Festival to celebrate the beginning of wildflower season. Experience nature, climb the DNA tower, see the mighty Boab tree, and take the Law Walk for panoramic views of Perth."

"After one of Freo's pacey (well, mellow) days, this is where to draw the evening to a close. On a tranquil side street, this bar is a deceptively deep space rocking a modern vibe, with a timber-lined ceiling above black banquettes on a concrete floor. There are interesting share plates on the menu (burnt eggplant and fetta; grilled octopus, basil and almond) and plentiful beer and wine, but this feels like the place for a cocktail."

"The stylish bar and eatery on Freo’s West End runs dinner sittings Wednesdays through to Sundays. With a menu perfectly designed for sharing, grab a bottle of wine from their Aussie-focused wine list and get ready to gaze into your date’s eyes all evening. Strange Company are open from 4pm – midnight Monday through Thursday nights and from noon until midnight Fridays through to Sundays."

"The historic State Buildings precinct is one of Perth's must-visit foodie destinations. At Long Chim, you'll find traditional Thai street food in a sophisticated setting. The menu covers curries, stir-fries, noodles, desserts, snacks, and salads, all with the signature punch of freshness and spice that has made Thai cuisine famous around the world."

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

"The Mantle is a hip dining experience concept perfect for those who can’t decide on what to eat. The Mantle was established in a historic warehouse. It holds multiple restaurants, bars, and a kitchen for preparing different foods."

"The Mantle houses several restaurants inside a beautiful historic warehouse. It is designed to be an activity hub for creative minds and foodies alike. Presently there are two permanent restaurants in the space."

"CBD diners and visiting tourists expect a fine degree of modish city style in Perth’s eateries, and The Terrace Hotel is one such charming addition to the Western Australian food scene. Patrons here can choose between a casual meal at the bar, or fine food in the breezy al fresco area or formally set dining room. The à la carte menu pairs rustic heritage charm with sophisticated style: think grilled halloumi, french beans, chicory & sundried tomato salad served with pita croutons, wild thyme & honey dressing; or for something meatier, Spring lamb cutlets with warm pepperonata, black garlic, bocconcini, and rosemary mint jus."

"Relax in the vibrant surrounds of Market & Co. for a casual catch-up with friends and family or relax and enjoy a drink at the bar or on the terrace."

"There are three simple steps to dining at Solo Pasta on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley, where pasta comes by the colour, flavour and metre. This trendy Italian eatery in Perth’s northern suburbs allo..."

"The first destination is an unassuming family-run café serving authentic and homely Italian dishes. The owners are particularly proud of their ragù, a traditional meat sauce, served with hand made pasta. Ask for their farmers soup too - a tasty, hearty dish that’s perfect for lunch."

"When you need to refuel quickly, Snax café and snack bar offers an affordable range of hot and cold dining options, open seven days a week."

"If you’ve had a special occasion in the last ten years – anniversary, birthday, folks are paying… chances are, you’ve hit up Nobu. This global, Robert De Niro-owned brand has made a name for itself in excellence, and its Perth outpost is no different. The opulent dining room and its Crown setting naturally lends itself to celebrations, while complementing its modern Japanese-South American fare."

"Of course no best Japanese restaurants in Perth list would be complete with the addition of Crown Perth’s Nobu. A longstanding resident at the casino complex, and part of a global chain that is easily one of the most recognisable for fine dining."
