About Perth's Entertainment

Perth City s entertainment and nightclub center is Northbridge. James Street and Lake Street is where the happening is. A few of the most popular venues are listed below. Brass Monkeys is one of the most famous spots in Perth City. The place features great music and DJ s. Here is where you can find The Grapeskin Wine Bar and The Cellar bar The Cellar bar alone serves over five hundred local and international wines. The Brass Monkey also has a restaurant serving Australian cuisine. The venue is situated in a magnificent 105-year-old building.

The Rise Nightclub is yet another one of the many nightclubs located in Perth s Northbridge. This funky new dance club has a huge specially constructed circular dance floor, state of the art lighting, several different lounges and fabulous music spun by the city s top DJ s. With Cuban rhythms dominating the scene, The Deen, located in Aberdeen street, is the great Salsa center in Perth. Classes are being offered here on Thursdays if you wish to brush up on your salsa steps. The Club itself is open from nine in the evening until late at night. The Deen features live bands and DJ s. The earlier part of the night is strictly salsa but gives way to more general throbbing tropical rhythms as the later part of the night creeps in.

Discover industrial fantasy art, evolving murals, vibrant feel, new bands, the hottest DJ s and cool sounds all featured in the Deen mix at The Aberdeen Hotel. This spot offers six zones for you to explore, with plenty of entertainment for everyone. Sample the drinks at the front bar or at one of the chill-out spaces while the night is young then hit the dance floor in Zone Two with its industrial techno style. If it s live music that you re looking for, Zone Three, with angels decorating the walls and the best local artists jamming, is heaven for live music enthusiasts.

Two other notable spots are the Mertopolis located at Roe Street Northbridge and Paramount at James Street, also at Northbridge. The places mentioned here are only a few of the numerous places jumping with nightlife in the city. Perth is simply brimming with night spots to discover and explore and more and more of these sites are opening year by year. Something to take note of is the minimum age for drinking in Australia (18 years old) and the rather strict dress code prescribed in these places especially on weekends. For the more upmarket venues, the rule of thumb is: collared shirts and no jeans for the guys and no open-toed shoes for the gals. Of course this may vary from club to club.
