If you’re a Mount Lawley fan club member, you’ve probably strolled upon The Elford during your time on the Beaufort Street strip. Brought to us by the legends at Three Pound Group (The Stables, The Camfield and The Reveley), this charming corner pub is known for its delectable bites, great wine list and bustling social scene—plus a love for the arts.
Alongside its tasty offerings, The Elford has a dedicated space for creatives to thrive and keep the dream of being an artist alive. The Common Room is a blank canvas available to artists and performers to hire free of charge from Monday to Wednesday nights.
Yep, you read that right—you can book the space for your next novel reading, dance showcase or live poetry sesh for free. The venue hire includes access to the AV equipment, and you can even score help with ticket sales through its partner platform Oztix and a bit of free marketing along the way.
If you’re keen to check out the space or want to get involved, we recommend heading along to Unplugged, a showcase for new and emerging acoustic acts held every Thursday night from 7–9pm. For the ultimate mid-weeknight out, take advantage of the specials like $1 chicken wings and Bevy Brewing Co. jugs for $20 before getting settled in for a night of chilled-out tunes and good vibes.
The Common Room is a space for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned professional or just getting into gigs, it’s a place to express your creativity and reach new audiences. If spectating is more your thing, you may be delightfully surprised by some of the talents Perth is dishing out. It’s an ideal place to see what you’re into and connect with some creative, like-minded people.
When it’s a little quieter during the day, you can head upstairs and connect with a mate over a drink or sit back with a book and soak up the views of the strip.
