Built in 1896 in the eponymous suburb of Subiaco, the Subiaco Hotel, or "Subi," was immediately adopted as a popular meeting place for the locals. It underwent a major renovation in 1994, transforming it into a restaurant and bar combination that effortlessly combines a chic, modern feel with old-fashioned charm. One of two bars on site, the classic Bianca's Bar offers 10 varieties of beer on tap, plasma screens playing the latest game, pool tables and live entertainment.
The Subi Cocktail Bar has a stylish vibe that attracts the crèàme de la crème of Perth's partying urbanites, who come to enjoy one of its eclectic libations. Guests can sip on the Elderflame, a mixture of cognac, Frangelico, basil, elderflower cordial, ginger, sugar and lemon, or the Hot Date, which combines brandy, Disaronno, Galway pipe port, fresh dates, brown sugar and orange. The restaurant offers elegant dining inside or al fresco on the large courtyard.
The Subi has venues for private events of up to 70 people. It is open Monday through Thursday from 7 AM to midnight, Friday and Saturday from 7 to 1 AM and Sunday from 7 AM to 8 PM. Most speciality cocktails are AU$16. For more information: +61 8 9381 3069
