All you WA people. Ive just gotten back to melbourne from the US and spent last week in Perth catching up with family/friends. I grew up in Perth but left many years ago. So Sunday night, my best mate and I headed out for a froffy. We arrived in Northbridge around 10. Literally the ONLY places open were a shit and empty Irish pub opposite the closed Mustang bar, and a joint full of 18 year olds called the Shed. We drove all over the city and Northbridge and Leederville, and NOTHING was open, and the Shed was the only thing happening. It was honestly like being in a country town. 10pm on a Sunday night and not a thing was happening. Even strip clubs were closed. We asked a bouncer at the Shed, as we were staggered. ive been out in Perth in previous times on a Sunady and had good nights. His response was the economy has slowed massively but the cost of living is still through the roof. The only people who can afford $10 beers are FIFO who get breath tested.

What a campaigner of a place to live, when you cant even get a beer on a Sunday night. Is this seriously what Perth has become?

Get your pasty white faces to the Cottesloe hotel on a hot sunday arvo in summer - grab a face full of fresh T**ty then get back to me....

Why the flip were you in Northbridge in the first place is beyond me. Anytime there is a no-go, yet alone a Sunday arvo...rookie error
 
firstly. not meant to be a pissing comp. or a flat out crack at perth. im just wanting people who live there to tell me if it was just a "one off" type of night and that Sunday nights usually have options, or if it really has become a town where if you want a beer on a Sunday night and are over the age of 22, you have to go to Burswood. And yes Ive been to the Cott hotel a thousand times, but that joints done by 8pm.
 
Yeh, I dont want to come across sticking up for Perth..
Its absolutely diabolical really...:oops:

Was in St Kilda recently for work. Sunday night 10pm I was on the throttle everywhere was cranking still

dont get me wrong. there is A LOT to love about Perth. Weather, beaches, scenery in general. But shit. I see a lot of the world in my travels and to not be able to get amongst it on a Sunday night due to there only being ONE place open after 10 staggered me. and to be honest im wondering if i just was confused or missed something, hence this thread...

Most people would be at a Sunday Sesh, usually at hotels.
 
Most people spend their entire Sunday arvo drinking at hotel bars, it doesn't surprise me it doesn't extend past 10. It might be annoying for newbies and visitors like OP but I really don't think it's a black mark against Perth's name...In the scheme of things.

Knifebridge is a shithole mate. Should've come round to my mate Tim's place, his sister is a babe and never wears shoes.

I dunno mate her boyfriend is some big Italian stallion type fellow. Though maybe he's like one of those mythological wizards, if you kill him you become him. I'll get back to you.


One strange thing I found in Perth was a lack of bottleshops in the city.

Tim's old man has a pretty sizeable cellar and his garage fridge usually has plenty of Coronas.

Tims place sounds just tremendous. I need to make friends with Tim. And his old man. And then kill the Itallian. Then bang the sister. My plan is set.
