Freo.Social, Fremantle
This fun live music venue is the rebirth of legendary spot Fly by Night, in a building that dates back to 1895. It offers a live music space, multiple bars and a permanent food truck. And there’s no shortage of beer, with dozens of independent taps spread across the venue, including a few pours by Otherside.

Old Habits Neighbourhood Bar, West Perth
This space used to be a skate shop that threw gigs on the side. Now, it’s a 120-person small bar and dedicated live music venue in West Perth’s emerging arts hub, the Pickle District. While cans of Emu Export chime with the pub rock vibe, it also carries WA wines, crafty beer options, a thoughtful edit of American whiskies, and cocktails.
