    I love the service of this place. Sure the food is great too I also had the steak and Karage Chicken which it always a fan favourite. The beer of choice is the Colonial Small Batch, beautiful drop when serve chilled which Metro Bar did 👌 Well done Metro Bar great all around

    Needed a place to have lunch but also get some work done & Metro bar & Bistro was the place. I came here on the weekend for a friends engagement party & loved the space. It is a slightly hidden treasure unless you are corporate or heading to the convention centre. I am so glad to have found this gem. Today I had a delicious salmon on roast veg & a sneaky bubbly (don’t tell my boss) I also got a-lot of work done out in the sun in the courtyard. Last Saturday I was taken by the beautiful surroundings of the sky scrapers & lush palm trees potted in oversized pots the size of me! I highly recommend this venue for events of all kinds such as corporate lunches, engagements, weddings, birthday parties, hens & buck shows etc. the staff were really friendly & Brooke was helpful when I asked about events & bookings. Ample space, modern furnishings, stellar food & drinks menu, easy parking, alfresco seating & very clean fresh bathrooms. I am just a little surprised to have found the Metro hidden away where it is. As a sales rep you need an office that’s on the move, I will add the Metro to my diary & I will be back for Friday night drinks!

    Witnessed the most awful customer treatment I’ve ever seen. A guy who asked for a steak knife and was told by a waitress she didn’t have time to get him one, went to the cashier who literally ripped the meal from him and spoke really rudely to him. Tables were piled high with used dishes. Wait staff were either completely overrun or couldn’t care less. It was difficult to tell which it was. Meal times are busy, if you’re in hospitality that’s how it should be. The owner of the restaurant would have been horrified to see what was happening. It’s called customer service for a reason. There was none. And by the by, the coffee took forever and was cold and awful. This was on Friday March 26th if management is interested in speaking to the staff concerned.

    We went to Metro Bar for the Melbourne Cup. Customer Service was ok but in general a few little things that didn't get 5 stars... the steak was quite hard to cut and we were only given a serrated knife on request, a bottle of local wine that you can get for $17 at the shops was $55, the dessert was quite disappointing it was too sweet, the chocolate on top was impossible to cut so could barely eat some just ate the ice cream, the entree was ok. Although we pre order our food for the event it took a very long time to be served, however they gave us a glass of sparkling as an apology. Staff was good, but food/menu needs to be reviewed. The layout of the tables was very busy. Closest parking for us was at the Convention Centre $23 x 5 hours.

    A great venue for a function with fantastic food platters, a superb grazing board, all washed down with happy hour drinks, beer wine and spirits! The service is excellent and a big shout out to Freddie, who looked after us well and made sure we had music that suited our group, with a DJ who took many requests. Ideal for a Friday sundowner!

    I had my 30th birthday here on Saturday night and the venue was amazing. Staff were so friendly and helpful, venue is perfect for a group of 150 people which was hard to find in the CBD, drinks were good, and omg the food is the best function food i have had! Highly reccomend. Thank you to Brooke for helping with everything along the way.

    Went here for pre show dinner and drinks, we both had the burger and fries, very tasty burger and fries had a nice crunch, a nice place to go especially if you’re watching a show over at the PCEC, literally 2 minutes walk from the venue.

    Came here last night for dinner with my girlfriend and had a wonderful evening. We had the scotch fillet and the saffron linguini both of which were delicious and perfectly cooked! Paired with a lovely cocktail and glass of wine and some excellent service we had a very enjoyable experience!! Will definitely be back soon!

    Abusive management, they had forgot to put a reserve sign on a table which our company sat down at. Instead of attempting to remedy the situation by getting us another table the supervisor talked down to us as a group stating we should have booked. Awful experience and felt threatened with a phrase "watch how you speak to people in hospitality". A real shame because the food was lovely. We will not be returning or hosting further corporate functions.

    Unfortunately I can't choose zero stars. The food it overpriced and very underwhelming. I thought I had ordered a steak sandwich, however it feels like I am currently eating a leather boot sandwhich. I'll be making a point of not returning.

    The food here was very unpleasant. The chips were so salty they were inedible. My partners steak sandwich was horrible. My burger was almost cold, it arrived quite quickly so I was surprised at how cold it was. When told we were not happy with the food the staff just said oh well , sorry to here that. Definitely won't be going back there.

    Great value Friday steak and drink deal. Steak quality is a bit of a lucky dip but for $10 can't go too far wrong.

    We held my daughter's 21st at Metro last night and could not be happier with the result. Everyone had a fabulous time thanks to the planning and service by Brooke and her team. The staff running the function were capable, polite and attentive, the food was fantastic and the venue clean and very well presented. Our guests were very complimentary! Thanks guys!

    Metro Bar and Bistro in Perth is a CDB gem! The food is nothing short of mouth watering, and you'll never leave hungry. The variety is impressive, and each dish is a flavor masterpiece. Metro Bar and Bistro is not just the food but also the fantastic event spaces they offer. The choices are abundant, and Brooke, their event manager, is a true professional. From innovative ideas to on-point trending themes, she knows how to make every event memorable. The styling is always impeccable, adding a touch of elegance to the experience. The combination of yummy dishes and Brooke's event expertise creates an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

    WOW!! Where do I start!!! We recently celebrated our wedding reception and Brooke and her team went above and beyond. Everyone commented on how attentive, polite and friendly the staff where and the food and drink was second to none! I was never without a drink in my hand the entire night. The venue was set up even better than we could of imagined. Nothing was an issue. If only we could do it every weekend! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special!

    The WORST place in Perth. So Overpriced!! $2.00 for tomato!!. (You're not Rockpool) Rudest management, no wonder it was so empty when we dined. Never again

  • 1/5 Ana K. 5 years ago on Google
    My breakfast was delicious, shame about the wait for my partners meal to come out and when i made the enquiry and got attitude from the manager. If you pay for 2 breakfasts ideally they come out together. It finally came out cold again went to complain and told they could either reheat it which would take 20 mins. Wont be returning.

    Went for "High Tea". The only thing high about it was the price. The food was awful. It came out in dips and drabs and there were no pots of tea which is destinctive for a "High Tea" will not go back there and certainty would not suggest to my friends as I would be embarrassed if I were the person who had recommended it to them. Had something decent to eat when we got home.

  • 3/5 Sheena F. 10 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Went to eat before an event at the PCEC. Hubby had the $55 steak, asked for it medium, came out well-done and a little tough. Disappointing for the price. I had the pasta with prawns, which was delicious. So much so I would have loved to have had more pasta as the portion was really small. Location is really convenient though. Would potentially eat there again, but wouldn't recommend the steak or the pasta if hungry.

    Nyeh! Really average. Staff were aloof and more interested in putting up reserved signs to close the bar for a private function than actually serve the customers they had. Doors were closed at 4pm and we were made to feel we had to leave. Can appreciate the need to sell function space but not at the detriment of current paying customers. There are ways of partitioning a space such that you get the best of both worlds, and if they're isn't then don't oversell your available space. Price's are high for the standard of service and choice as well.

    This bar does not accept cash. Last time I checked, cash was legal tender. This practice all began with covid which no longer poses a problem. Had we not been with friends, we would have left. Rest assured, we won't be back.

  • 2/5 Devang S. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Metro bar today for work lunch. To my amazement, there were hardly any vegetarian / vegan options. Baffling in these days and times. They did make margarita pizza on request but it was not tasty and was very bland. They need to look at their menu options.

  • 1/5 Paul F. 1 year ago on Google
    Not really sure about the food but the drinks were over priced and the gin and soda seemed to have no gin. We will avoid this bar and go elsewhere..

  • 1/5 Steve C. 2 years ago on Google
    Male staff to me were curt, unfriendly and unengaging. I was civil (civility costs you nothing). Just a smile and a welcome would be good. Seems that's too hard. Not the first time. Indeed the third. Enough. I stay at the attached Adina Apartments Hotel now for a week every three for the time being. Many family will be arriving for an interstate reunion soon. While Metro would be convenient for us, we'll be going elsewhere. Female staff here are very pleasant and helpful. You know what I think? I think male staff and management here won't give a damn about this review.

  • 1/5 Jerome W. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Jay O. 1 year ago on Google
    The prawn linguine pasta was excessively seasoned with too much salt to the point where the dish was unpleasant. In hindsight I should have returned the dish. The restaurant vibe is good, but I don’t recommend coming here for food.
