Long weekend plans = secured. If you’re keen to settle in for a few hours of free-flowing drinks and share-style feasting, Perth’s bottomless scene is coming in hot with a few standout sessions worth booking ahead.

Sweetwater Rooftop Bar is bringing the aesthetic with its cherry blossom-themed brunch on Saturday 4 April. Set beneath cascading florals with sweeping rooftop views, this two-hour session features Japanese-inspired bites—hello okonomiyaki, udon and karaage—paired with unlimited wines, beers and signature cocktails. Add live DJs and you’ve got a lively, sun-soaked afternoon locked in ($99pp, with a boozeless option available).

Over at Stables, the Bottomless Botanical is made for those who like to keep things rolling. Expect a three-course shared feast alongside two hours of flowing drinks, from cocktails and prosecco through to Veuve if you’re feeling a little extra. The best part? Your booking rolls straight into Stables Saturdays downstairs—aka your built-in afterparty.

And for something a little more playful, Ugly Baby is serving up its signature “Baby Goes Bottomless” sessions all weekend long. There’s colourful share plates, bubbles, vino and cocktail jugs across two-hour sittings—whether you’re easing in with a late morning brunch or kicking things up a notch with their Party Starter sessions later in the day.

Gather The Crew For A Family-Friendly Pub Session

If the goal is keeping the kids entertained while the adults actually get to enjoy a drink, Perth’s pubs are seriously delivering this Easter long weekend. Think egg hunts, craft stations, petting zoos and plenty of chocolate-fuelled chaos—all paired with good food, cold drinks and sprawling beer gardens made for settling in.

The Woodbridge Hotel is bringing the classics with an Easter egg hunt that’ll have the little ones racing around in no time, while Bayswater Hotel is going all out with face painting, live music, a petting zoo and plenty of space to spread out across the weekend.

Over at Bassendean Hotel, expect a full lineup of creative fun—there’s Easter egg decorating, make-your-own sock bunnies and a fairy and unicorn glitter bar situation that’s guaranteed to be a hit. Vic Park Hotel is keeping things equally wholesome with free face painting and a craft station for DIY baskets and bunny ears.

And if you’re chasing something a little extra, The Bentley Hotel is transforming into a full-blown Easter wonderland—complete with bunny ear workshops, egg decorating and enough chocolate to keep everyone buzzing well into the afternoon.

Go All Out At Wildflower

Marking the long weekend with something a little more elevated? Wildflower delivers in every sense. Perched atop the incredible COMO The Treasury, the restaurant is renowned for its refined degustations, guided by the six Noongar seasons and a deep connection to local growers, fishers and foragers.

On Saturday 4 April, they’re showcasing Western Australia’s standout seafood with a dedicated Easter menu. Expect beautifully executed dishes featuring Shark Bay scallops, coral trout and premium Pemberton marron—each one highlighting the richness of the region’s waters.

Add in sweeping views over the Swan River and a dining room that feels quietly luxurious, and you’ve got the kind of experience that’s well worth planning ahead for.

Sip On A Next-Level Easter Cocktail At The Aviary

If your Easter plans involve something a little more indulgent, The Aviary has you sorted with a limited-edition twist on a cult classic. Enter: the Espresso Conetini—aka the glow-up your standard espresso martini never knew it needed.

Served in a chocolate-coated waffle cone and spiked with Baileys and vanilla syrup, this over-the-top creation is finished with a cloud of marshmallow foam for good measure. It’s sweet, it’s a little bit ridiculous and it absolutely leans into the festive spirit—in the best way possible.

Available for a short time only, this Easter special is pouring from 23 March to 12 April, so you’ve got a tight window to get your hands on one (or two).

Get Among The Madness At The Fremantle International Street Arts Festival

Freo is about to turn into one giant open-air stage this Easter long weekend—and honestly, there’s no better place to be. Across four days, the streets, parks and waterfront will be packed with world-class performers, roaming acts and plenty of unexpected moments.

We’re talking more than 160 free shows popping up across the city, with everything from acrobatics and circus to comedy, music and full-blown spectacle. You’ll find artists from around the world sharing the spotlight with local talent, bringing serious energy to every corner.

The best way to do it? Wander. Start at Esplanade Park, loop through the Cappuccino Strip, then follow the crowds—you’ll stumble across something good either way. Between sets, duck into Freo’s bars, cafes and pubs (many spilling straight onto the street) and make a full day of it.

Completely free and family-friendly, this is one of those weekends that just delivers.

Upgrade Your Good Friday Seafood Tradition

If Good Friday usually means queuing for fish and chips or juggling a seafood spread at home, consider this your excuse to hand it over to the pros. Bib & Tucker is taking care of the lot with a long lunch designed to keep things easy, elevated and seriously delicious.

Set against those iconic ocean views, the $120pp menu show off the best of WA’s coastal produce. Expect dishes like Abrolhos Island scallops, Fremantle octopus, Western rock lobster and fresh market fish, alongside thoughtful extras like house-made miso focaccia. It all wraps up on a sweet note with a chocolate Ferrero-inspired dessert moment that feels very on theme for the long weekend.

Zero prep, zero clean-up, and a table overlooking the water—this is how you do Good Friday right.

Swap Chocolate For A Dancefloor At The Leederville Precinct

If you’re ready to trade Easter eggs for a little movement, The Leederville Precinct is dialling things up this Easter Sunday with a full-blown block party. Spanning multiple venues and five buzzing stages, this is one big neighbourhood takeover designed to keep you moving all afternoon and well into the night.

The Leederville Precinct will come alive across The Garden, The Leederville Hotel, Evergreens, Daisy’s and Servo Yard—each space bringing its own energy. There’ll be house in The Garden, disco moments, singalong anthems and dancefloor-ready beats, plus plenty of bars to keep things flowing between sets. This is your Sunday session sorted.

Plan A Rotto Escape (Because Why Not?)

Is there ever a bad time to head to Rottnest? Absolutely not. Add a long weekend into the mix and suddenly the case for a ferry booking feels very strong. Beach swims, bike rides, long lunches and that unbeatable “on island time” energy—this is your sign to lock it in.

Over at Hotel Rottnest, the vibes are in check all weekend long with Chase The Sun—four days of live music just steps from the beach. Expect a rotating lineup of local DJs and bands (including Wild Flower Band and Ragdoll), alongside cold drinks and easy pub fare. It’s relaxed, it’s lively and best of all, it’s free to get amongst it.

If a long, leisurely lunch is more your speed, Isola Bar e Cibo is the move this Good Friday. Their Venerdì Santo set menu shows traditional Italian Easter dining, with seafood front and centre—fresh oysters, kingfish ceviche, Shark Bay scallops and garlic chilli prawns, followed by seasonal mains and a sweet finish (hot cross bun bread and butter pudding, yes please). Add a glass of wine and uninterrupted ocean views and you’ve got a very strong argument for staying the night.

Lap Up The Festive Vibes At These Easter Markets 

An afternoon by the water hits different over a long weekend—and Markets @ the Quay is bringing all the right energy this Easter. Set along the Elizabeth Quay foreshore, this open-air market is packed with local makers, handcrafted finds and plenty of good food to keep you lingering a little longer.

Wander the stalls, grab something hot (or sweet) from the food trucks and settle in by the river while live music rolls through the afternoon. There’s a strong lineup for the little ones too, with face painting, lawn games, roving performers and a visit from the Easter Bunny—plus interactive magic shows from Cameron the Magician to keep everyone entertained.

Settle In For A Proper Easter Sunday Roast At JB O'Reilly's

Sunday roast and Easter go hand in hand—and JB O’Reilly’s is going all out. Expect hearty plates, live music and a few proper pints at one of Perth’s most loved Irish pubs.

Book in for JB’s famous Sunday roast, with your pick of beef, chicken, lamb, pork—or go all in with the ultimate plate featuring all four. Add in live music across the weekend and some of the best Guinness going around, and it’s shaping up to be a very good way to spend your Sunday.

Wind Down With A Cult Classic At The Rechabite

After a weekend of long lunches and non-stop plans, ease into Monday night with a feel-good favourite. Head upstairs to The Rechabite Hall for a special Cinema Club screening of Mean Girls—arguably one of the most quotable films of the 2000s. Drinks in hand, lights down, and zero effort required. Not a bad way to wrap up the long weekend.

The best part? It’s completely free (just book ahead), and you can make a full night of it by arriving early. Downstairs, Double Rainbow is serving up an express ‘Feed Me’ menu ($65pp) featuring a lineup of crowd favourites plus a choc-top dessert to take into the movie. Or head up to Hello Rooftop Bar for pre-film drinks, with specials like $8 G&Ts, $10 Elderflower Collins and rosé sangria jugs ready to go.

Doors open from 5pm, movie kicks off at 7:30pm—best Easter Monday ever.
