Believe it or not, but the proliferation of bars in Perth does have a downside. When you are a social butterfly such as myself, you don't want to be pinned down with a set of 'regular haunts'. So sometimes you have to just have a stab at Google Maps and figure out the nearest bar to where you are pointing.
You can tell this is going to be a positive review, can't you?
So yes, it did so much right that the fact that it was let down by a few things, maybe I will have to give it a second chance.
Down somewhat secret alleyway - check. Street art, aka graffiti, adorning secret alley - check. Cocktails to me and Drinking Buddy, which I believe were Moscow Mules, served in a funky glass (aka a jam jar) - check. Said cocktail being damned delicious - yes. Wide array of seating options, including loungers scattered around that don't quite match each other - also check.
I started to reassess when Drinking Buddy said she didn't feel hipster enough for the place. And believe me, this girl can be as hipster as she wants to be. But also, it was early evening on a Friday, the place was packed, and it was noisy. Not just the crowd, but the most annoying thing I found was the fact that you had to shout to hear each other over the music. Which wasn't all that crash hot anyways. Sure, later into Friday evening, crank up the tunes, but not straight after the 9 to 5, please.
Or maybe me and my friend just have overly sensitive ears. If it weren't for the flaws, we would likely have stayed there for more than just the one. Will have to maybe give it another chance, on a quieter evening. If only for the photography options the alley street art could provide...
Verdict: Music too loud to think, at a time of day you may not want it up to Eleven
