Perth, Australia - Nightlife

[camc]

Being that it's my home city you'd think that I'd be able to answer this question myself but lately I've been stuck in a bit of a vicious circle consisting of Capitol/Amplifier and Shape (not for any reason other than a lack of knowledge of other venues). With all the smaller places starting to open up it's hard to keep tabs on what's out there and what's good.

So Perth crew what's good for a Saturday night in "Dullsville"? (If possible give a couple of reasons why eg: Music, crowd/vibe, prices, design.. whatever.) Even if it's a tiny little place that never has anyone in it but is a nice space with a comfy couch and a sturdy table I still want to know.

[Guest noogsahoy]

myplace on the crnr of pier and hay i think.

cheap drinks on saturday nights, cool place to hang out.

hula bula bar.

dorcia lol.

[btbam]

oh god.

Perth Nightlife has a long way to go still. Amps/capitol was good.. between.. 2003-2005/6.. It is completely different now.. Sadly

Since moving back to Perth the only places i really go is The Queens, The scottsman & Must Wine Bar etc.

But I’m getting older now so that’s probably why.

[camc]

dorcia?

ive heard hula bula is ok. may try there.

ive heard of Must but no idea where it is? or the Queens?

[jcotteri]

shouldn't inthemix cover this man.. be better people are there for the music.. not fashion

[camc]

for music yeah.. but i think the average sufu'er has a greater appreciation for other things that make a place worthwhile for a visit.

[jcotteri]

i reckon jpgm might know of a few good places to check out, he listens ot some dope stuff. As far as i know DNB is still massive massive in Perth. you into that?

[camc]

not so much. tends to be a bit hard for me but theyre is definitely a burgeoning scene for breaks and dnb over here. i think its just coming back up.. a few years ago there were a couple of dedicated DnB clubs but they went under.. now theres a few more "nights" starting up again. theres lots of love for pendulum but i wouldnt think its from people who are truely into DnB.

theres a lot of shit, reactionary electro going down too.

[jcotteri]

he man no offense but anyone who is purely into DNB doesn't like pendulum. Most think they are sellouts. I don't even like the old album, not thats it dissimilar to the new. I didn't really jump on the bandwagon though. I liked them before they released hold your colour, that was when i was a true head

[camc]

yeah im not a fan of them at all. lots of people were losing their minds about how good their show here was but i cant see (hear) how it could be. i heard them on the radio defending their new album saying they didnt think it was a more commercial offering. maybe its just me but when you make an album of tunes that are structured like 3 minute pop songs its pretty hard to argue otherwise.

[jcotteri]

hold your colour was mainstream enough. I got hooked when andy c was dropping tracks at the start of 2005. Yeh but it is somewhat true that they sound very poppy. I had a couple of friends see one of the last shoes in perth.. bleh i reckon

[camc]

any recommendations for Japanese restaurants in Perth?

[jws]

Zen in subiaco is pretty good, however i heard there sushi chef has changed so not sure now

[brissyboy]

Is Niche nightclub any good? Went there once and lined up and the people said they had been waiting for an hour to no avail.

I like metrocity bcos I've really got yellow fever as of late.

Paramount or the deen

Llama bar on a thursday night is nice and relaxed, good atmosphere and great band. I hear luxe (I think on beaufort?) is also meant to be good?

[camc]

Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant this

Paramount or the deen (10)

[davo10375]

i could of sworn i did

after... shifty eyes same shit. I dont think id reccomend those places on anything other than sheer amount of drunk girls/overall trashiness. Though i did go to the deen on sat night heh.

someone reccomend a chilled weekday place but one that doesn't cater to a mainly older crowd?
