Supporting the local WA breweries, alongside great Aussie breweries and selected international brands, you can sip on beer, cider, wine or one of their fancy spirited cocktails that will satisfy all beach bums.

Little Creatures Brewery

Fremantle

No visit to Fremantle is ever complete without a trip to Little Creatures. The Australian brewing company Little Creatures was ‘born out of a love affair with hoppy beer’ by a group of mates. Established in 2000 in the former crocodile farm’s huge shed along the waterfront, the pale ale brewed here has its own distinctive aroma and flavour that truly makes it iconic. With the Great Hall located in the middle of the brewery, guests can enjoy their drinks, and meals, surrounded by the brewing tanks as they take in the unmistakable aroma. There is a spectacular view of the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour and the Indian Ocean from outside on the deck. Great food and amazing beer along the waterfront, life is complete.

Mojo’s Bar

Looking for a dose of music to go with your drink? Then, look no further. Fremantle’s Mojo’s is home to live original music seven days a week. Not only do they encourage unknown locals to perform with scheduled performances and open mic nights, but they also bring in international touring artists who would rather perform in a more intimate venue than the Perth Arena. This bustling venue also brings in killer laughs on their comedy nights when they need to mix things up, as well as mixing you another drink.

Mrs Brown Bar

Bar

Housed in an old Victorian terrace, Mrs Brown Bar provides a home away from home all year round.

Who’s Your Mumma

Cocktail

Who’s Your Mumma is a great place for you to enjoy your tapas and booze in an atmosphere that merges casual and sophisticated (in a swanky way, of course).

Whether you enjoy a cider or beer or one of their cocktails, if refreshing is what you are looking for, then grab a Mandarin-flavoured cocktail.

Young George

Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle.
