    I’ve always tried to use this function for good and not evil as I understand the impact a bad review can have on businesses but I feel nothing for you. From your website - “We do not have private booths, as we believe everyone should share the karaoke experience!” - this is made difficult when you remove two members of the party for wearing sleeveless tops. Following that - “At Ferrara Bar, we want our guests to DRESS to IMPRESS and enjoy a great night out, so we have a dress code that applies at all times.” - Why don’t you publish this mystery code somewhere so everyone (males) will know not to waste their time attending in shorts and sleeveless top weather (10 months of the year in this city). The greasy creatures you let in AFTER kicking out our friends looked like they’d been scooped off the floor of Market Grounds and yours was just the first venue they’d stumbled into. Very impressive. Fortunately, the high spirits of the brides to be and all their guests eliminated the tragic energy of this place - please let your bouncer know he is the incarnation of unfulfilled dreams. I read another review stating you’ll be banned if you leave a negative one and honestly THANK YOU but that won’t be necessary. The highlight of the Ferrara’s experience was leaving.

    If you want a decent night out avoid this place like the plague... Rude, discriminatory staff...The "bar manager" was all of 12 and had me removed from the premises for allegedly being intoxicated...I'd been dancing all night, was wearing calf length Doc Martin boots and had only one drink while there...what do you suppose got me kicked out?... You can barely hear the music, the wrong songs are played and the drinks are overpriced and watered down... I was informed that I was "cut off" at the bar...No reasonable explanation given...not supposed to lean on the tables and stools purely decorative...apparently.. I was subsequently escorted from the premises for tasting my partner's drink... Common decency only applies if you are besties with the bar staff...

    Been here several times over the years and they keep doing the same thing... give regulars or friends the mic ahead of others who put song requests in first. Seriously, if you dont get here early, good luck getting your song played.

    I was removed from the venue, escorted out for wearing shorts... i was wearing a romper for my friends hens night and was better dressed than half the guys already in there. The door just says "dress code applies" it doesn't say no shorts for men yet the girls i was with had shorter dresses on and they were let in. Poor service and looked derelict inside wouldn't go again.

    Tried to throw us out for singing in a karaoke bar. Waited for an hour and they refused our requested song. One star

    Heard good things about the place, so I finally went there. It's basically a room with a kitchenette on one side serving as a bar - turn the lights on and it would resemble a sticky-floored waiting room in as faceless government department building. The "Karaoke" is a few microphones passed hand to hand. No stage, no apparent MC, just a barmaid.

    A wonderful place to unwind and sing your favourite song. Very clean and tidy and good service and. Security is excellent to keep a safe place. Tuesday night’s are fantastic industrial night. All shooters and cocktails are a wow factor. Just be patient on waiting songs on a busy night.

    The most fun, brilliant night out. Everyone gets up to sing. The drinks are affordable, the staff are friendly. The dress standards are bar/ nice venue obviously.

    Worst bar I have ever experienced. No wonder for such a bad review. Bouncers are so miserable with their own life that they love the power and has gone to their heads. Save your time and money for somewhere that wants you to have a fun night. It's not here

    Karaoke at this place only works if you are a Perth local. If you are from anywhere outside the Perth CBD then make sure you love Wes and his singing. If not, god be with you. Leave this place off your Karaoke list.

    This was one of the few places open in Perth city after 12 but it is not great. Poor ambiance and poor karaoke.

    Went to Ferrara's tonight with my bro. Ordered 2 drinks and put in a song request. Requested a song to sing. Not a huge crowd, yet we didn't even get a chance to sing. Looks like they play 'favourites' not impressed.

    Great atmosphere. Great little venue. Highly recommend! No entry fee only pay on consumption. Mixed room, adds to the theatre and fun.

  • 4/5 Yuki C. 4 years ago on Google • 74 reviews
    Celebrated our Valentine's Day by singing our hearts out. Pretty friendly environment and as its an open bar, you would thought people can really sing.. 😂.. Well.. There are good one n not that good ones. You need to wait 1-2hrs for a song even on a less busy night. Can't imagine on busy Friday n Sat.

  • 5/5 Justine A. 11 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    It was such a fun place to be! Great vibes from the crowd and people singing along the karaoke songs. Highly recommended :) if you would like to secure a spot in karaoke get there early as soon as they open so you don’t have to wait an hour for your turn to sing and have fun

Put our name down for singing , spent lots of money to drinks and 2,5 Hour later only one person in the group finally got the chance to sing and it’s the song that other people before already sang! are you guys crazy SCAMMING us! our group is very patiently waiting and got no chance to sing! we are singers u know so our voices won’t HURT anyone’s earS! WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE TO ANYONE AND SAVE YOUR MONEY AND SPEND IT ELSEWHERE! WORST SERVICE EVER! WILL FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THE MANAGEMENT TOO.

    My wife and I were out and she wanted to sing. When we arrived the bouncer looked out of shape, sloppily dressed and slurred his words which gave an unprofessional first impression. When going inside the acoustics were out of balance. By that I mean the instrumentals drowned out the vocals and the volume was way too loud. My wife who was waiting a while for drinks got served eventually, but then got kicked out less than 5 minutes after she got the drink. If the staff had a concern about us, why did they serve drinks? This left a sour taste on an otherwise fun night we had out.

    Always great fun singing and dancing, had a little wait to get in due to phase 2 restrictions but it wasn't too long. Decent range of drinks and very friendly staff. Like all Karaoke bars it was a great laugh and some singers were amazing too. I have been to Ferrara heaps of times

    Removed from the venue for raising my arms.... It's a kareoke bar, we were enjoying the song. Bouncers agreed that it was a strange rule but had to enforce it as that's what the owner put in place.

    We have intermittently visited Ferrara for years now and have seen many incarnations of how it is run. Generally its been a low brow fun way to end the night but unfortunately the current setup is the worst it's been. There seems little organisation when it comes to song order which is a real disappointment. We were with a big group and for the 2.5 hours we were there, not one song came up for any of us. During that time some people sang multiple times, and the same two guys had three songs. We even asked for one of our songs at one stage but no luck. Previously there was a degree of ensuring new arrivals had at least one song not long after arrival to keep interest. There seems a general disorganisation of songs which means you wait all night with little return. We realise it's hard to keep everyone happy and not everyone will always get a turn. But calling out name after name of people who have left should indicate there is a problem. To top it off, a friend joined us right at the end when the bar was quite empty and sang his song within minutes. It's not a glamorous bar but it was always a little bit of fun to have a sing. This is the second time over a few weeks where our group left after 2.5 hours without a single song. Disappointing

    Group of 12 got there at 930 left at midnight without singing any of our songs we requested. Won’t be back and will go to Kara karaoke next time and get a room. Noticed the regulars sang their songs as priority so it sucked. We have lived and learned. Don’t recommend

    First time at this karaoke bar. Enjoyed the Hershey chocolate martini. However, the karaoke system's manual song submission led to a 45-minute wait, and unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to sing. The delay in turn-taking was a downside, and we ended up leaving. Won’t be back.

  • 2/5 Michael K. 4 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    The Karaoke drink, prices, & service INSIDE are ok! And yes, unfortunately, you might have to wait out the regulars before you get to your song! But... The PROBLEM is THE BOUNCER! His demeanour is usually sour and he enjoys TURNING PEOPLE AWAY for the thrill of it! If you got one little grocery bag or even a a single bottle of water - he'll FORBID YOU for coming in! Ease up, mate! You're JUST A BOUNCER not the LORD MAYOR or PREMIER!

  • 5/5 Chris W. 5 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Fantastic little venue to relax, have a drink and sing along. Getting there early enough will guarantee the songs you requests. Staff are great, drinks are average Perth prices and taste great.

  • 5/5 Riccardo B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar, great staff; might be worthwhile offering empanadas for a late night bite? Clean and well presented venue.

  • 5/5 Timour K. 4 years ago on Google
    What a great time .. the whole place gets involved .. such a fun time !?

  • 4/5 Jonathan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went back in October on my 30th and everyone was enjoying themselves, even my housemate who usually hates karaoke says he was getting into it. Only complaint is that the lyrics didn't work for everyone and there can be a bit of a wait for your song to come up.

  • 5/5 Brett F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great playlist, super vibe, awesome cocktails. Go on! Have a go! You know you want to!

  • 4/5 Tal S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great fun if you ha e vocal cords to support your act and oh those espresso Martinis.. yummy!

  • 5/5 Gail W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar, good fun. Good mix of clientele, some great singers, some not. All adds for a great evening. Owner is a lovely.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar is very popular when it opens st 8pm on s Friday night. It draws a interesting crowd. It has a bit of a 80s feel about it.

  • 5/5 damian m. 1 year ago on Google
    Always having fun there, bar staff are good and always call me damo and they always remember what drinks I get

  • 5/5 Kevin W. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Natasha K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great karaoke bar huge selection of music and cheap drinks. Always fun

  • 1/5 Sean M. 1 year ago on Google
    Refused entry tonight for a physical disability. Jody will ban you if you give the bar and her a poor review if she chooses to work and not take a sickie. If you do attend she'll put up a sign to ignore serving you. Jody is a nasty girl... There's used car dealers with a better rating! If you don't agree well that's ignorance. Even your Facebook page hasn't had meaningfull activity for longer than you care Gino...

  • 5/5 Ruthy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Small intimate venue, best chocolate Martini. Excellent song selection. Definitely going back

  • 5/5 mel h. 1 year ago on Google
    Like a small town pub, I loved it!! The vibe was awesome. Felt like there was heaps of regulars who sang really well. Had lots of delicious shots! Loved how there was no stage, ppl could just sing anywhere, the screens were visible everywhere from anywhere in the bar, we even had a couple singing next to us on the couch at one stage. Will deffo go back😀

  • 5/5 Willow S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous Bar, great atmosphere and excellent sound system for Karaoke!

  • 2/5 Kris B. 3 years ago on Google
    Couldnt go outside for 5 mins to get rid of hot flush. Had to wait in long line to get in again.

  • 5/5 REWIND ON L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great venue for singing I will be back again

  • 5/5 Tom M. 3 years ago on Google
    Best karaoke bar in Australia, by far, open long hours, loads of fun, highly recommended

  • 3/5 Wayne B. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool, fun bar only flawed by the dated song list and method of delivery. Too many mic hogs. Ferrara needs to automate and use an app for the song list and those wishing to sing. I waited and waited... Would love to give five star...

  • 3/5 Aravind R. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little place that not many people know about. Best if you go with mates. Not a place you want to go on your first date though.

  • 5/5 Cheryl H. 3 years ago on Google
    If you love Karaoke, this is the place, for all ages

  • 4/5 Joe H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere just get your songs in as soon as you order drinks

  • 4/5 Aliza B. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place to chill and sing your lungs out if you wanted to de-stress. There's no entry fee and drinks are pretty reasonable price

  • 5/5 Kristy 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty great venue, nice drinks. Had a lovely time over the weekend.

  • 5/5 Jennifer H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Makrus N. 3 years ago on Google
    Finally a karaoke bar where you dont need a private room

  • 3/5 Taylor G. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, good atmosphere and open late so a great option to finish off the night. Only downside with coming in late if you want to have a crack at the Karaoke you'll probably be well down the list and this was a bit of a bummer

  • 1/5 Mason N. 3 years ago on Google
    Wouldn't let me in for a friends birthday because I was wearing shorts. They were good quality dress shorts with a linen button up shirt, yet they were more than ok letting in a girl with shorter shorts than me. They also referred me to the website when giving their reason for not letting me in, which doesn't even work. Absolute joke of a venue.

  • 5/5 David W. 4 years ago on Google
    Fun place....Great staff and well priced

  • 5/5 Brendon F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, good sound for Singers and audience alike. Screens all around so everyone can join in. Bar staff are efficient and minimal wait times between Singers, drinks are reasonably priced, punters are all there to watch or sing karaoke so even any first time Singers won't find it too daunting. Just add friends for a great night out.Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Clayton G. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a good selection of songs and drinks, but music was too loud and could hardly hear people singing, especially the beginners

  • 5/5 James F. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Brendan D. 4 years ago on Google
    THE BEST Karaoke Bar in the CBD - set up as an open space with couches and tables around it, you can pick a song for yourself or with your mates, or just enjoy a couple of drinks while singing along or dancing to the song choices of others. You can't not have a good time at Ferrara!

  • 4/5 Karen S. 4 years ago on Google
    What a great night, our first night at Ferrara. So much talent around, and where the talent was lacking there was passion. Nice clean attractive venue, alert and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 michael m. 4 years ago on Google
    Singing and cocktails

  • 5/5 Peta W. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant night out, with a real free style of narrow, no stage just everyone in together with roving mics. Great staff and reasonable bar process. No cover charge at the door so it's just a fantastic place to go and there are great dinners in the mix as well.

  • 4/5 Yan 4 years ago on Google
    A good crowd to smash out some tunes with :)

  • 4/5 Katie A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a classic part of the scene, though it can obviously take time to get your song up if there are quite a few people there. Cocktails are on offer, but it's not so much a cocktail bar as a karaoke space.

  • 5/5 joshua H. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Always have good time here love karaoke. Love how it's open to everyone to sing. Can get busy on Friday and Saturday night waiting queue can be long on those nights but that's to be expected. I usually like going on Thursday or Tuesday night where it's little quiter
