Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
How's that for a one-line description of a place.
Moved here in December from England but won't be staying for long.
Over 50's not welcome in bars and clubs. Over 50s like to go out on the town you know.
Bullshit place, Perth. Full of corporate stuffy types, very uptight. If you're thinking of moving here from UK, and you like a bit of nightlife or are are single status over 50, forget it!

Re: Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
You've only been here 2 months. Maybe you haven't been visiting the right areas?
Though with your attitude maybe you are better off elsewhere. Perpetuating the general "whinging Pom" vibe that Aussies get and all.
Cheers!

Re: Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
Sorry to all for negative orig post, but that's what these forums are for - to speak your mind, plus me being me I wear my heart on my sleeve and don't mince my words.
Anyone know is there a pub in Perth I can walk in to, spend-up in there, then fall out of in to a waiting taxi, for the weekends? My pub experience so far is that if I have two beers the bar staff start looking at me as if I'm a criminal, then after the third they look in to my eyes and tell me they're glazed so I am pissed and must leave the premises!

That's fine but it's imposed on all, hence my description "uptight, stuffy"

Re: Perth is uptight, stuffy, dull and boring
I lived in Perth for about 4 years and never once got asked to leave a pub, never found them stuffy either, quite the opposite.
If your after more of an englandy feel try durty nellys www.durtynellys.com.au its hidden away on a side street and has a great vibe at nights, good food to.
Perth is not like england and trying to look for the same things that you used to do in england is a mistake, you have to change you attitude and look for other things. I am back in the UK now and everywhere I go theres a million people crammed in.
I wish I was back in perth so I didnt have to queue for 20minutes just to get served in a pub, not to mention finding a bloody table to sit down at is difficult
