The fact that most bars overprice their drinks by $2-3 in a job market and economic downturn says a lot.
Saw one bar charge $8.50 for a schooner (not a pint) of Carlton Draught. WTF?

we had a beer at a joint called "The Classroom" in Charles St North Perth that charged us $8.00 for a schooner of Coopers. A fecking local beer. So expensive...
Mate it's not just the beers over there. Your pub meal prices are ****ing ridiculous. I was at some joint that charged $26 for a parma and chips which is bad enough... But they wanted an extra $6 for a side of salad.
I might just be spoilt from the Parma and pot's you can get over here for $15.
I ended up eating every day in Northbridge at the viet restaurants.

Jeez, haven't seen a Carlton above $5 for a schooner in my area. How much is a Corona?

With all due respect, Perth isnt fit to be in a debate vs Melbourne.
Bunch of deros with utes and Japanese script tattoos with a pissweak city surrounded by mediocre suburbia.

Have spent a lot of time in Perth for work and its probably the biggest thing I noticed to.
I like the place, but we were generally there during the week, and the place was just so indescribably dead at night. It was like a ghost town. We were working, didn't want to have a bender or anything, just a few drinks, and it was a ghost town.
No doubt it's better on the weekend but people are allowed to relax during the week too.
So OP has a solid point IMO.

Serious question, how many of you have stayed in the city centre of Sydney or Brisbane, and to a lesser extent Melbourne, on a regular week night. All have a place or two that might have a few people but unless you know where to go, it's likely to be a few drinks at the Grand Hotel on Hunter Street.

Looking at $9 plus. I told a friend that when going out I don't want to go out to expensive bars and she replies 'don't worry, they only charge $10 for a Corona where we go'. LOL.
And during my time in Sydney Carlton Draughts along with the other low end lagers (e.g. VB, Tooheys) were $4-$5.50 a schooner.
No you haven't, Perth has always died on Sunday night.

WTF is a schooner
If the worst thing you can say about a city is that you can't get pissed on a Sunday night, then I reckon it's doing okay.

forget about getting pissed Caesar. I mean just having somewhere to have a beer ad a yarn even...
With the majority of these deros coming from other states such as Victoria to work in the mines because they can't get a job in their home states.
On the plus side, in Perth (when the bars are open), beer comes in Pints, not "Pots".
Why the hell do Victorians drink beer out of pots?

Oh jesus WTF were you doing there???Thats literally a flamer hang-out!!!!
Should of gone to the charles hotel down the road!!!! Tuesday night blues, wed and thursday night comedy, friday night tata's, huge parmies for $20 and even actual proper sized pints!!!
Er... Melbourne beer sizes are the same as they are in Perth. The large size is a pint, and the small size is half a pint.
A Victorian pot is just another name for a middy or a half.

A Vote for Clive is a Vote for Justice
Draconian Liquor Licensing which will not work with the industry to provide alternatives for people to have a nice quiet beer, rather to out-price, fine and not listen to reason when trying to create a good establishment
Honestly, You need to go to outside the City to have a few relaxing beers, anything Central tries to create an atmosphere that caters to anyone over 25 who doesn't like drinking JD and coke or cruisers don't bother
