This one will take you through the streets of Northbridge, with eight separate stops to check out, each with its own unique cocktail creation. Choose your ticket level, pick your starting point and design your cocktail trail—how you play is completely up to you.
Peachella Bottomless Session
Forget about Coachella, this weekend The Peach Pitt is doing Peachella—a new bottomless fest with two hours of endless cocktail slushies, washed down with beachfront vibes. There’ll be three slushy flavours to choose from and lollies to garnish if you’re feeling fancy, or just stick to the wine or beer if you prefer. And of course, the chef will load you up with epic snacks to fuel the rest of your night. It’s just $69pp and you can book in at 1pm or 5pm. Grab your table here.
Look, look. Anna Park
From NYC all the way to Perth, 27-year-old art world prodigy Anna Park will premiere her major new exhibition at AGWA this April. Look, look. Anna Park will feature a series of large-scale signature black and white drawings, including 15 never-before-seen charcoal and ink on paper works created specifically for this show. Celebrated by next gen private collectors like Billie Eilish, Park draws inspo from pop culture and addresses the perception of identity, sexuality and power. She’s also taken the opportunity to team up with Aussie knitwear designer Wah-Wah while she’s here on a limited-edition fashion capsule.
Bottomless Brunch At Tommy Tacos
Tommy Tacos has just entered the bottomless game, with a boozy little lunch menu guaranteed to spice up your weekend. For $85 each, you'll enjoy a table full of Mexican eats, including birria nachos, bacon and egg tacos, corn chips and guac, all washed down with 90 minutes of free flowing drinks. And not just any drinks. We're talking Idle Hands cocktails, frozen margaritas, Mexican mimosas and more. It's available Saturdays and Sundays starting this week—book here.

Half Price Chardy Party Sundays At Nieuw Ruin
Nieuw Ruin is giving your stale old Sunday some extra love with their new Half Price Chardy Parties. Head to the breezy Freo wine bar for 50% off a stellar selection of Chardonnay every Sunday from 12pm til late.
Bottomless Brunch At La Condesa
We recently swung by this Subi stunner to roadtest their new bottomless, and it's quickly become our new fave. Pick your brunch main of choice, then choose to add on bottomless mimosas ($28) or go all in on the bottomless mimosas and endless cocktails ($63). The spicy passionfruit margs are up there with our fave cocktail in Perth and the frozen mango margarita is an absolute dream, so trust us there'll be no regrets by the time you've slammed your third or fourth cocktail down.
Smoked At The Beaufort
Every Sunday The Beaufort is cranking out epic American BBQ platters piled hire with smoked 'n succulent delights for a very reasonable $38pp. Think Wagyu brisket, sticky pork ribs, spicy wings and jalapeno cheddar sausages paired with classic BBQ sides like mac and cheese, corn bread, fresh slaw and corn ribs. Thirsty? You can wash it down with $10 bloody marys or spicy margs.
