Best Nightlife in Perth (2026)

Perth's nightlife is spread between Northbridge, the city centre and Fremantle, and much of it is built around bars rather than late clubs. In Northbridge, The Rechabite fills a restored 1920 temperance hall with a rooftop bar, an eating house, a basement bar and a live performance hall. Just north of the centre on Beaufort Street, the Ellington Jazz Club has presented live music seven nights a week since 2009, and in the city, rooftop bars on hotels such as QT Perth add views to the evening. Across the river in Burswood, The Camfield is a vast pub and beer garden at the foot of Optus Stadium, busiest on match and concert days.

Fremantle is the place for beer. Little Creatures Brewery on the Fishing Boat Harbour pours its beer at the source, with brewery tours most days, and the Sail and Anchor on South Terrace, opposite the markets, became Australia's first boutique pub brewery in the 1980s. On the coast, the Art Deco Cottesloe Beach Hotel faces the sand and is known for Sunday sessions. Many venues are busiest from Thursday to Saturday, and some open only in the late afternoon on weekdays, so check hours before setting out. The free CAT buses help in the centre, and trains run between Perth and Fremantle into the evening.
