Besk

The Verdict

After a lot of hard work the incredibly talented team behind Besk have swung open the doors to the new public bar, kitchen and bottle shop, and checking it out this weekend is not optional. 

Tucked off Railway Parade in the leafy West Leederville, the kitchen is dishing up seasonal grub alongside a considered selection of beers, wines and spirits. Gerrard Mitchell, who has a penchant for cooking with beer, is heading up the kitchen and James Lorimer (also of Mane Liquor) is looking after the bottle-o.

As for the fit-out by Braham Architects, you’ll find plenty of exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, clean lines, warm lighting and industrial accents. If you’re heading to the bar in the evening, public transport is the way to go, as this place is right across the road from West Leederville train station. And let’s face it, you’re going to want to have a few, before picking up some wine on your way out of course.
