1. The Brisbane in Highgate - Voted best pub in Australia last year and so it should of. Not sure about the best pub in Oz but had a good night there last Saturday.
2. The Queens in Mt. Lawley. Similar to the above.
3. The flying Scotsman in My. Lawley. Doesn't look much from outside
4. The Subiaco Hotel. Pretentious.
5. The Vic in Subi. Not Outstanding for the amount they charge
6. Little Creatures in Freo. Overpriced, noisy, chaotic barn.
7. The Cott in Cottesloe. - Hottest girls in Australia. Great view, hot girls. Average pub. (OH review)
8. OBH in Cottesloe. As above.
9. The Royal in East Perth. Nice pub and views, very expensive.

10. The Windsor in South Perth.
Okish
11. The Raffles in Applecross. Haven't been in since the refurb so can't comment.
12. The Lucky Shag in Perth. Great position but unfortunately the name says it all really!!

Give them a go..

Restraunts and clubs now? haha
Had help from the OH with some of these as he frequents pub/restaurants more than me. Entertaining clients, or so he tells me.

Oh no Nev, things are good. House build is coming along slowly but surely. Moose is a full grown slobbering blond mutt. Ron loves work - and I love it because he travels and I get the house to myself. I was just having a little bit of a sarcastic moment. How's you guys?

It was Coquitlam, not Penticton where his farm was. Just across the river from Burnaby.

As a refugee from the NZ forum can I say that Perth is one of the most pleasant, colourful places I've ever seen. And boring, nah, never!

I've never been to Perth.

However, the builders across the road (a six of them) are from Perth. To quote them directly, "Perth is even more boring than Cambridge". I think that they're making the perhaps dubious comparison with London.

I, like hundreds of thousands of other people love Perth for not being like Melbourne etc. If you don't like Perth, that's fine with me. Just stop whinging about it and f**k off somewhere else.

He is spot on but ask him if he can come up with 10 other pubs which are better?

Looks like it will probably start in Sydney, not Perth. So Dave99, you'll be safe for a while longer.
