Nightlife
Whether you’re a female traveller or a woman relocating to the west, Perth is a friendly, exciting and relatively safe city, with an abundance of activities and attractions.
Kick up your heels with the Perth Nightlife
While Perth has a relaxed beach vibe by day, by night it heats up with a thriving nightlife. Northbridge is the city’s central after-hours hub, where the streets hum with clubs, pubs, live music venues and oodles of eateries.
Subiaco, in the city’s west, attracts a stylish crowd and boasts an array of cruisy lounge bars and pulsating clubs. A trip to Leederville will serve up a range of intimate and eclectic venues for you to explore.
When the cafés close and the sun sets, the harbour hub of Fremantle comes alive with a smorgasbord of restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs serving up a feast of fun. Whether you’re seeking a subdued evening or are planning to party, you’ll find it in ‘Freo’.
Enjoy an afternoon brew
Hugging the harbour, microbrewery Little Creatures is the prime spot for a late-afternoon ale. The eatery is set in an industrial tin shed, with great glass panels overlooking the working brewery. This raucous place gets busy, so arrive early to bag a spot at a communal table and settle in to sample the scrumptious pub fare.
Despite Perth’s relative isolation, artists from both Australia and around the world have chosen to visit this beautiful city and play for its music fans. Here are some of the main concert venues in Perth.
Burswood Dome, Burswood: Part of the lavish Burswood Entertainment Complex that includes hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, bars and a 24-hour casino, the Burswood Dome is an indoor entertainment venue with a fibreglass roof.
Suffering from the no holiday blues? Forget spending a few thousand dollars and ten hours on a plane, head to the Hula Bula Bar to soak up the tropical island atmosphere and the ridiculously potent rum cocktails.
Devilles Pad is a venue that eludes description. Its website is tantalisingly vague and hints many wonderful things; cool cocktails, sinful snacks, groovy tunes and wild entertainment. My Perthite guide, who is navigating me down Aberdeen St towards East Perth and towards the bar, describes it as a glamorous retro supper club with a demonic twist.
Sounds great. Um. What’s a supper club?
