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

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!

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!

To the original poster, there's loads of good pubs in Perth. If we know where you are living, we may be able to advise....

Might just be the pubs you go to, when I worked in the city we would all go out on a Friday night, all of us mixed ages and never had any issues.

These days I dont go out much as I am rarely in the city so may go out locally to me but it might be worth checking out other places and allowing yourself to become a regular, let the bar staff get to know you.

Round where we live, one of our favs is The Leftbank in Freo, The Norfolk Hotel is another one we like.
