The 10 Best Bars in Perth's Central Business District
The Central Business District (or CBD) is the compact and walkable city center of Perth, home to the head offices of some of the state’s most important companies. Curious travelers will find an effective mix of business and pleasure on this commercial district’s densely packed, bustling streets, including a vibrant range of bars. Whether you’ve just arrived in town or are ready to relax after a long day, we’ve got you covered with our guide to the top ten bars in Perth’s CBD.
1. Bobèche Bar
Bar, Cocktail Bar, Cocktails, French, American
Bar Lafayette
Bar Lafayette is housed in the heritage-listed Perth Technical School, a fixture on St Georges Terrace since 1910. The owners have honored the venue by creating an old-world atmosphere of chaise lounges and vintage lamps, offering soft lighting and softer seating to the CBD’s office crowd after a long day at work. These surroundings engender a more subdued, elegant night of drinking, which is well provided for by their list of prestigious artisanal cocktail creations. Try the Chestnut Rob Roy paired with a dinner of ginger braised duck, before moving on to sample their selection of Kentucky and single malt whiskies, or small producer wines by the bottle.
