Intro: Pubs, Pints, and Perth’s Best Drunken Decisions
Alright, you’ve probably been here before: you’re in Perth, it’s Friday night, and you’re trying to decide where to drink. Spoiler: there are too many pubs. Some are great, some are okay, and some are just places where the barista knows your name. Let’s cut the fluff and get straight to the best pubs in Perth that’ll make your night… well, better.
1. The Drunken Historian (📍123 History Lane, Perth)
If you want to feel like you’re in a pub from a 1920s film noir, The Drunken Historian is your spot. Their whiskey selection is so vast, it could make a historian weep. Bonus: the bartenders are all history nerds. Ask them about the time Perth’s founding fathers fought a duel over who got the last pint.
Pro Tip: Pair their Whiskey & Wisdom cocktail with a side of our Make Your Own Beer brewing kit to recreate the vibe at home.
2. The Pub That Time Forgot (📍456 Time Capsule St, Perth)
This place hasn’t updated its decor since the 90s, and honestly? It’s a masterpiece. The jukebox still plays Britpop, the dartboard is slightly crooked, and the bar snacks are so greasy, they’ll stick to your ribs like memories of your ex. Perfection.
Drunk Fact: The Pub That Time Forgot was featured in an episode of Beer Wars (2003). Yep, time forgot it, but the show remembered.
3. The Crafty Brewmaster (📍789 Hops Ave, Perth)
If you like your beer as complicated as your dating profile, this is your pub. They rotate taps so often, even the regulars use cheat sheets. Their Dragon’s Breath IPA? A fireball of bitterness and regret.
Pro Tip: Order a flight and pretend you’re doing a wine tasting. Bonus points if you pair it with a custom beer from Strategies Beer—because why not?
4. The Quiet Corner (📍101 Quiet St, Perth)
Think of this as the pub equivalent of a library, but with more IPAs. It’s the place where people come to brood and sip. The only noise is the clinking of glasses and the occasional sigh of someone realizing they’re not on Tinder anymore.
Drunk Fact: The Quiet Corner is so quiet, they once had to install a sound machine that played the sound of a pub. It’s called “The Echo of Regret.”
5. The Pub That Sells Everything (📍202 Everything Blvd, Perth)
This place is a mecca for the indecisive. They serve everything from craft beer to lagers to ciders to kombucha (for when you’re pretending you’re sober). The menu is so long, it could be used as a doorstop.
Pro Tip: Ask for the Surprise Me tap selection. It’s like Russian roulette for your taste buds. You might end up loving it… or needing a nap.
6. The Bar With the Best Burger (📍303 Greasy Way, Perth)
Yes, it’s a pub. No, it’s not about the beer. It’s about the burger. The patty is so juicy, it could make a steak weep. The fries? A side of guilt you’ll eat anyway. And the beer? It’s just the excuse.
Drunk Fact: This burger has been featured in Perth Foodie Magazine (2021) under the category “Dishes That Make You Regret Life Decisions.”
7. The Pub Where the Bartenders Know Your Name
If you frequent this spot, the bartender will know your name, your order, and probably your life story by the third visit. It’s the kind of pub that makes you want to move in—just for the free happy hour.
Pro Tip: Come in costume. They once had a guy dressed as a giraffe for two years straight. The bar didn’t judge him. Neither will you.
8. The Rooftop Pub That Was a Warehouse
Previously a warehouse for storing potatoes, this spot has been converted into a rooftop pub where you can sip and sip and sip… until the city becomes a blur of color and bad decisions.
Drunk Fact: The warehouse potatoes are still in the basement. They’re just… fermented. Don’t ask.
9. The Pub With the Worst Beer But Best Vibes
If you want a drink that tastes like a science experiment gone wrong, this is your spot. But hey—the vibes are solid. It’s the kind of place where someone will start a karaoke session at 10 PM and everyone will cheer like it’s 2002.
Pro Tip: Bring a friend who can handle the beer. Or don’t. Either way, you’ll have a story by midnight.
10. The Pub That Was a Treehouse
Yes, it’s a pub. Built in a tree. No, we don’t know how they got the kegs up there. The beer is served in hollowed-out logs, and the bartender is a squirrel. It’s either genius or madness. You decide.
Drunk Fact: The treehouse was built in 1999 by a man who wanted to escape the world. He didn’t. He just got a different kind of world.
