    We had a very nice experience here. It has a very chill atmosphere and you can get great food. The drink selection is off the chart.

    A veritable institution in the Cultural Precinct. I've never had a bad time here. The atmosphere is nearly faultless, and theres a great range of drinks available. Is the food good? Lol, no. But that's beside the point. You're there to decompress with people you hopefully don't hate.

    As of Thursday 16th September 2021 at 2:22pm I had the watermelon juice, orange juice and apple juice it is just so refreshing and delightful and I enjoyed it every drop of this mixture of juice worth it for just $5.00. The atmosphere here is just great and staff are just magnificent, marvellous, spectacular and wonderful. It is very clean, thanks very much appreciated for your service and time. As of Thursday 16th September 2021 at 2:45pm Just has the Steak Sandwich was just delightful, delicious, cooked to perfection, mouthful with so many ingredients and I am full. Worth every money of $18.00, highly recommended if you haven't eaten for more than 7 hours. Kind regards, Steve Chong.

    Food was a bit small in sizing vs the price but flavours were good. The salt and pepper squid was a little rubbery and disappointing. The cocktail tailored for me by a female staff member was awesome! She really listened to what I wanted and created something delicious. The sour beer on tap was very average. It was packed but good, calm vibes.

    Reasonable craft beer range but no backup tinnies. Nice retro feel with the “distressed” architectural finishes. A bit cool and drafty in winter with both doors open but would be great in summer with outdoor tables under the huge fig tree.

    Great spot for a late night beer and catch-up. Stays open a little bit longer than others. Great outdoor areas, so you can hear what your friends are saying. Bar staff are friendly. Good range of delicious beers on tap.

    Come here for the cheese on the Ploughman's lunch and stay for the amazing range of tap beers. The framed pictures inside are worth a look. Friendly staff and a nice mix of humans coming and going.

    It's been a while since I've been to the pub in Perth that has Weihenstephaner Weissbier on tap. Lovely steak sandwich and chips. Highly recommend.

    Best described as shabby chic this was voted the best pub in WA in 2022. Good selection of beers and wines together with good food. Ideal for a stop when visiting State Archives or museum

    Really cozy and enjoyable establishment, right in the heart of the cultural precinct. Great range of beers, and some of the friendliest, knowledgeable, chatty hospos you'd ever want to meet. Great to sit out in the sun on a mild autumn afternoon and while away a few hours with a mate and a few local brews.

    Awesome little bar that we stumbled across exploring Northbridge yesterday afternoon. We shared a bottle of local SB and I had the anchovies. Super relaxed vibe with heaps of seating. We sat in the garden and enjoyed a bit of shade on a warm day. Good service and good vibes 😎

    Been past this place a few times, but this is the first time I've been in for a drink 🍸. Wonderful place with a wicked beer, spirit and wine collection. Food is good. Not overly expensive. I like places like this. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

    Old arts centre converted into a bar. It has a large outdoor seating area and limited indoor seating. They have a large selection of seasonal beer, wine and spirits. The menu has options for small snacks or meals if you are looking for something more substantial. They were able to accommodate our large group booking on a busy weeknight with plenty of seating and shade.

    A quick pop in visit for lunch. No time to dawdle! A Steak Sandwich and Chips for a change. The Turkish Bread Roll, untoasted. Which might have been nice. But the Steak did take up most of the space inside, which was good. The Shoestring Fries were crispy, perhaps not as Hot as we'd prefer. Maybe they'd been sitting for thirty seconds. Overall, good value. And hopefully next visit, I'll have more time to savour it.

    Had a delightful steak sandwich. The wines we had were top quality. It was a very pleasant establishment to have a pre game lunch. Staff were great and could talk with knowledge about the wine list Great ambience.

    Old stomping ground - this place is always a favourite. One of the most stunning courtyards and their Apple Juice & Fireball is the real kicker for me. Making a booking for an occasion here is pretty seamless. Props to George!

  • 4/5 Jesse H. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited during peak time, but wasn't a hassle getting the food and drinks we needed. All prepared swiftly with no issues We Probably caught them at their absolute peak. I had a booking which was made online, but never gave a confirmation call/email like they stated. Asked staff re: booking when I arrived and no one knew. I'd suggest just ring in to book instead of online.

    I had an amazing time at Picabar in Perth! The selection of drinks is outstanding, and the atmosphere and vibes were simply awesome. Whether you're looking for a cozy evening or a lively night out, Picabar has it all. Highly recommended for a memorable night in Perth!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Good outside seating(although a bit hot in summer, but they do have parasols). The tea pot could have been filled more, but the food was very tasty with a good salad coming with the food.

  • 4/5 Tim M. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful bar inside a great heritage building at a fantastic location with an excellent rotating beer selection. Perfect for afterwork or when waiting for the next train home.

  • 4/5 Tom B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little bar that has a wide variety of beer on tap with quite a few local selections. Great food menu as well which is reasonably priced. Makes for a good lunch and a pint spot.

  • 4/5 Joel H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beer garden with big trees, good beer selection, interesting food menu, and of course full of arty types making it a great people watching place too.

  • 5/5 S H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Urban bar near the WA Museum & State Library. Great service, range of drinks, interesting moody decor & seating options. Didn't try any food.

  • 5/5 Steven M. 10 months ago on Google
    One of my favourite bars in Perth. Been going here for years. Great little nook in the heart of the cultural precinct. Good beer selection, but I just wish they'd bring back Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!

  • 5/5 Adam C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue, awesome lamb ribs. Perfect spot for a pint after a museum visit with 11 kids (or before!).

  • 4/5 Carolyn W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice spot for a Friday lunch break . Shady seating out back of bar. Culture Club lunch after gallery visit. Delicious mushroom burger and warm roasted cauliflower on menu , quick friendly service

  • 4/5 Judi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Always, good for a drop in, especially if you are reminiscing student days here. Lots of folk today

  • 5/5 Anna S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice beer garden on a hot day, and the bartender came out with a water bowl when he saw my dogs. Delicious club sandwich.

  • 5/5 Greg L. 1 year ago on Google
    Silly me. I've been walking past this little gem for years. Poked my head in today to check the beer taps for the first time in about 6 years and got hooked by them having a couple of my favourites. Decided to stay and have the steak and sides for lunch and am so glad I did. Steak was perfectly cooked to order, tender and tasty and bloody good value. On top of that the staff here are brilliant. Will be a more frequent visitor now and thoroughly recommend. Sorry there's no photo of the steak when I saw it I had to eat it.

  • 4/5 Peter W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great venue. A good selection of beers and the food is not at all bad. There's a lovely outdoor seating area and the overall vibe and atmosphere is Pleasant. It's a pity the chef doesn't know how to cook a medium rare steak. It was more well done.

  • 4/5 Joshua H. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in for a quick beer and snack with the kids after a trip to the museum. Nice atmosphere, good beer on tap, chips and decent chicken pieces instead of nuggets for the kids (well done!). Service was friendly and prompt.

  • 5/5 Ant T. 1 year ago on Google
