Nightlife

Everywhere to eat, stay and play in Bali this year. Thank us later.

From the crew behind some of our favourite nights out (Oktoberfest in the Gardens, The Beaufort, The Old Synagogue, and more) comes PICNIC Festival, an ode to all that makes a Perth summer so lovable.

Pumpkin spice has finally made its way down under, TikTok’s flooded with costume ideas, and the decorations are starting to come out onto front porches, as Perth takes spooky season and makes it its own. With Halloween landing on a Friday, there’s no excuse to stay home guarding the candy bowl.  

Third spaces used to be built into our daily routines. Cafes, bars, restaurants, pubs, communal gathering grounds we’d seek out or step through on our daily journeys, offering points of intentional and incidental connection. Slowly, over the last decades, many of those spaces have been consumed by the infinite scroll, community-building handed over to algorithms. Connection is at our fingertips, literally. That phone that’s never too far from our grip is packed with apps, platforms, and scientifically derived algorithms, all designed to get those brain receptors firing and release some endorphins, pulling us into endless cycles of dopamine hit-seeking scrolls. We’ve gone all in, all the time, on living online. 

It doesn’t get much better than cocktails on the coast here in the west, so we’re welcoming the news of a brand new beachside bar this summer, but this one's bringing some serious flash and flair. Tigerfish is bringing a spicy new Southeast Asian concept to Perth’s shoreline, and we’re here for it. 

A boundary-pushing ballet, Butterfly Effect is challenging traditional gender roles in dance—and it's coming to Perth in September. 

The summer hits just keep on coming. The latest opening to come across our FYP? Palm Beach Club. And when we say details are thin on the ground here, we mean it. 

Perth’s northern beaches are about to score a serious glow-up, with the crew behind Hillarys Beach Club and Bar Olé Iluka heading even further up the coast to open Yanchep Beach Club, and judging by the plans, it’s going to be a showstopper. Bringing serious Amalfi vibes, the sprawling venue boasts a wraparound alfresco with uninterrupted Indian Ocean views as a backdrop to the natural timbers, leather, and seriously impressive eight-metre marble bar of the interiors. 

From one-night premium events to family-style dinners, cocktail masterclasses, express lunch deals and foodie-fuelled staycays, the Plateful Perth calendar is well and truly stacked. 

Leederville’s beloved winter festival Nom Nom is back for its third delicious year, dishing up six weeks of food, wine and music from Monday 7 July to Sunday 17 August 2025.

Long gone are the days of Perth’s winter hibernation, where the city streets were quiet and it was blissfully easy to score a premium table at your favourite foodie hotspot. These days, a winter in Perth means sipping on vino fireside in cosy wine bars, watching chefs fire up hearty steaks in open kitchens, and devouring curries that warm you from inside.

FISHER's Out 2 Lunch Festival with Vodafone is back, and we have the insider scoop on how to grab up presale tickets. 

It’s time to get down and dirty, because brat weekend is finally here. Okay, technically it's Laneway weekend, but really it’s Charli XCX’s world and we’re all just living it. We know Charli will be hungry for a feed after her set, so here’s all the brattiest food around Perth we’d recommend to her.

When it comes to cuisines, Mexican is most definitely a crowd pleaser. It’s no surprise really, given that it’s fast, fresh, and involves tequila. We can’t get enough of it (most likely, neither can you) so we’ve been busy hunting down the best Mexican restaurants in Perth—from casual family favourites to cool kid hangouts.

Bringing a bold new take on modern Mexican, the pop up bar is an electric pink paraiso of ostentatious decor and tequila-based cocktails. This is Mexicana glamour, a taqueria by way of the pastel pink lined street of Palm Strings and the glowing neon strips of Miami, a venue that invites you to sip on margaritas til the early hours.

From classic aperol to the trendy limoncello spritz, to all things fun and fruity, it’s officially the summer of spritz here in Perth.
