Photography by Ross Wallace Don’t tell my husband this, but I fall in love really easily. And all the time. Not with charming Italian men (one was enough, thank you very much), but with bars. Each new watering hole that pops up around town – and lately there have been plenty – becomes my new […]
In the mood for a Caribbean holiday, but not a long-haul flight? Crown’s Colours of Cuba has got you covered. My partner and I were certainly sold on Wednesday night. The Caribbean love affair kicked off with a sampling of the colours and flavours of Cuba at The Atrium. Lime, garlic and cumin dominated the flavour fiesta. Think suckling […]
If you can remember Wednesday nights out at the ‘Seedy Leedy’, chances are you don’t want to return in a hurry. Well, good news – it’s safe to come out. The Leederville Hotel has emerged from its sticky, dance-caged adolescence and reopened as an uber-hip pop-up bar. Bill’s Bar and Bites will occupy the Leedy’s […]
Why did the Perth resident stay in on a Tuesday night? It sounds like the beginning of an (admittedly terrible) joke, but when the Winter Arts Season is on it’s a serious question to be asked – the days may be getting shorter, but there’s more to do than ever in Perth. Warming up your […]
This year’s Eat, Drink, Perth begins on the first day of autumn. That can’t be a coincidence. What better way is there to celebrate the end of bikini season and the start of winter weight gain, than an entire month’s worth of culinary events, from hawkers’ markets and coffee tastings to pop-up bars and cooking […]
Did someone say Applecross needed a wine bar? The owners of Bad Apples ask this rhetorical question on their Facebook page. With crowds of customers streaming through its doors each night, it would seem the answer is an emphatic yes. Although Bad Apples has only been open for a month, you wouldn’t know it from the slick […]
This spring, Thursdays have been the day to visit Subi for late night shopping, a pre-weekend-frenzy drink and a hawker-style meal at the weekly Subi Sunset Night Markets, which, sadly, are ending next week. This Thursday, Subi upped the ante. Yesterday saw the addition of the annual Subi Street Festival to Subiaco’s Thursday night mix. Obviously, […]
Last October’s Eat Drink Design Awards 2012 showcased the best of Australia’s bar, restaurant and café design. The entrants representing WA may not have walked away with an award, but they are proof of the state’s ever-improving design standards. We chatted with the architects responsible for prettying up our bars and restaurants: Sentinel Bar and […]
Have plans for Saturday? Ditch them or risk missing out on the biggest street party of the year. The Beaufort Street Festival is back! And this year the street is longer, the crowds are predicted to be bigger and there’s even an accompanying cookbook. For the music lovers, there are four stages of live music, […]
Perth has gone loco for all things Mexican, and our collective interest in Mexico has drifted beyond our palates. Yep, it’s officially time for our eyeballs to do the feasting. The Hola Mexico Film Festival has made Perth its fourth and final stop on its Australian tour. From 15-21 November, Cinema Paradiso in Northbridge will be showing […]
