Fair play, we love a good swim around the pylon at Cottesloe Beach as much as any other ocean warrior in Perth and when in Rotto, we’re often found submerging in the aquamarine paradise of the Basin, too.

Sage in Victoria Park has been running as a cafe, dishing up killer breakfasts, lunches, coffees and juices for a few years now—but earlier this year they answered our prayers and extended their culinary skills into the dinner department, and gosh it might even be better than their boozy bottomless brunches (which yes, they also do exceptionally well).

Buying from ethically conscious brands, putting dollars back into community initiatives, and consciously ditching products that aren't made on our shores—it’s the easiest way to spread joy, help, and happiness to those who need it most right now. 

Whether it’s an edge-of-your-seat escape or a thought-provoking drama, there’s something about a good ol’ prison movie that keeps us coming back for more. And now you can step your prison movie experience up a notch because Perth’s just scored its very own Prison Cinema.

2020 has been a wild ride for everyone, but if the year has taught us anything, it’s that nothing lifts your spirits quite like giving back to those who need it most. And what better way to give back than by showing your ‘True Colours’ and donating blood.

​When it comes to leading an environmentally conscious life, it’s safe to say we’re all stepping up our game.

If any year was going to be the face of an emergency fund, it’s got to be 2020. It’s just one disaster after the next. If this year has got you hungry for a little more financial stability, you’re in the right place. We’re bringing you a six-week bootcamp to help you build financial stability and improve your financial wellbeing

If you’re a puppy parent, you’ve no doubt been struck with the tough decision of whether to leave your precious furbaby for an evening out (and deal with the separation anxiety) or stay in and miss out on all the fun. Well, thankfully, you can have your pup and a few social wines too thanks to the Woof + Wine Club.

Our hospitality crew has had to roll with more than their fair share of punches this year, so we reckon they definitely deserve some extra recognition for all their hard work.

Oh, 2020. It’s been a wild ride. You could be forgiven for thinking that the only shred of joy left is hearing the postie arriving with your online shopping order. The occasional splurge is totally fine, but too many mindless purchases can add up to a big hole in your bank account.

2020 has been a wild ride, but at least we’ve had some top TV to get us through. We won’t lie, indulging in Scottish heartthrob Jock Zonfrillo and the fierce fashion of Melissa Leong in the new Masterchef lineup definitely made lockdown easier—and gave us some stellar cooking inspo. But, cooking can be an expensive hobby depending on where you shop and what you buy. Fear not, we’re bringing you a four-week financial motivation bootcamp, brought to you by ANZ

We don’t care what you say, looks do matter when it comes to finding a Perth bar you want to hang out in for hours on end. A good drinks list is important, yes. Food is also important. But once those two factors are taken care of (and really, they should be a given at any good bar), all anyone wants is to sit somewhere pretty and drink themselves silly—but not too silly, these are Perth’s most beautiful bars after all.

It's no secret we love a vintage-inspired capsule collection, so when the guys at the millennial pink Pretzel told us they were releasing one, we were all over it, but so was everyone else.

Our Financial Wellbeing Bootcamp brought to you by ANZ, is inspired by their four-step financial wellbeing check-in, and loaded with helpful hints and techniques which could have you managing money like a pro

2020 hasn’t turned out exactly like any of us had planned. But while we’re stuck at home unable to throw our money at bartenders and baristas, we may as well get on top of our money while we’re at it, right? At Urban List, we’re all about balance. We love savings accounts and chasing the best interest rate just as much as we love hopping on a plane to Bali

Set 30 Studio, or S30 to the regulars, opened in Perth in early 2019 and took the city by storm. The underground hip hop gym was the first of its kind in WA and it’s not surprising that it’s been such a hit thanks to the hip hop beats, the colourful studio lighting, the patented scent (yep, it’s a vibe) and the amazing founders, Luke Faulkner and Ret Hartley. No wonder they’re already opening their second location in West Leederville.

Set in the 1900s heritage listed building that is home to the Sage Hotel in West Perth, Julio’s is dishing out Italian comfort food paired with an impressive cocktail and drinks list showcasing local and international wines, beers and spirits.

For most of us, renting property is one of our first steps to independence. It’s flexible, short term, and you can up and leave almost as quickly as you moved in – perfect for our free-spirited younger years. But, eventually, we find ourselves lusting after fancy laundry liquid and being more interested in a night in with our house plants than a night out on the town. This, my friends, is adulting. 

When The Flying Scotsman announced it wouldn’t be re-opening after lockdown back in April, the news was received with a whole lot of sadness. This Beaufort Street mainstay was a favourite among Mount Lawley locals who just wanted a drink, some pub grub and a good time.

We've finally heard Picabar will be ready to re-open on Friday 25 September if all goes to plan, so keep your eyes on their socials and make a tentative date to head in and check out their new digs.

As you're probably well aware, Perth's brand new WA Museum Boola Bardip—meaning many stories in the Noongar language—is set to open on Saturday 21 November with a nine-day celebration, but you'll need to register to get in on the action.

There's no better way to celebrate the weather warming up than with a picnic, and if you want to do it in style you'll get yourself to Perth's longest picnic, Chandon Pique Nique, which is going down at The Camfield on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October.

We may be biased, but we’re pretty sure we live in the best place on earth. 

If you live in Perth and you’re into Italian eats, chances are you’ve been to No Mafia more than a couple of times. But, in case you missed it, these guys moved from their cosy little nook on William Street to a much bigger, more open space just up the street; the site that used to be Los Bravos, and Comet Pizza before that. 

With over 12,000 species of wildflower popping up each year across WA, its no surprise our own backyard is a playground of pink boronias, red and green Kangaroo Paws and orange flowering Banksias, you just have to know where to look. 

While COVID wasn't great for anyone, some businesses really made the most of WA's lockdown and Old Young's distillery in the Swan Valley did that by doubling down on their gin production. With all that extra time up their sleeve, they made way more gin than usual and, to keep things interesting, they decided to whip up some crazy flavours.

If you work on the Terrace, we’ve got some very good news for you. The brand new Hemingway Cafe—inspired by Earnest Hemingway himself—will be opening its doors at the bottom of Central Park today, Wednesday 26 August, to those of you who work in the Central Park building. The rest of us will have to wait until tomorrow, Thursday 27 August, but to make it up to us, they’re offering free coffees all day long. 

Bottomless booze is great and all, but is there anything better than bottomless pizza? We think not, so imagine our excitement when we found out The Camfield would be offering it up from Monday to Thursday for the entire month of September for just $20 a head.
