INVITED // A new bar has opened in Northbridge with a facade of a convenience store as its shopfront. The bar entrance? SSH..through the fridge doors! Thankfully it isn’t through a bar fridge door. 😝 Burgers: Fuzz Bucket: Double beef patties, aged cheddar, smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, bbq sauce, aioli, toasted bun (aud21); The Eagle: Southern Fried Chicken, American cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise, spicy aioli, pickles, toasted bun (aud16); Onion rings with house-made sauce (aud7.50); Cocktail: Sugar Honey Ice & T: white rum, gin, tequila, Cointreau, cola, lemon (aud18) and Feral Brewing Hop Hog on tap in a middy (aud7) from newly-opened Convenients, Northbridge. This is a bar with a stage for live music acts featuring and showcasing talents from our local musicians. There is two alfresco areas - in front and at the back. Menu on the next few pics. The sugar honey ice & T cocktail was sweet and refreshing. Went really well with the Fuzz Bucket burger which was our preferred burger of the two - it has crispy pork crackle with two juicy beef patties. The aged cheddar is fried till crisp and gives a taste illusion of biting into the egg white of a fried egg. The onion rings were the crispiest I’ve ever had. They’re sinfully good though being your responsible correspondent, I need to ask you to bring more friends (group of 3 or more) to share this or your arteries will hate you. The onion rings though super crispy were greasy and I had to control myself to not eat more due to my oil intolerance. We left when the band was setting up to play the live gig (show starts at 9pm) and more people started coming in through the fridge doors at around 8pm. Thanks Matt for the invitation and looking after us! Tip: @convenientswa does two-for-one burgers on Tuesdays AND a burger and pint of beer for aud20 on Wednesdays! #invited #Convenients #Northbridge #Bar #PerthBar #SecretBar #Beer #Burgers #Cocktail #PerthCocktails #PerthFoodReview #PFR_Convenients (at Convenients) https://www.instagram.com/p/COiAVizj25P/?igshid=cl4x9muvuio3

DISAPPEARING ACT // Avoid the set menu (aud65pp) at Varnish on King if you are after a decent meal. The group of us ordered the set menu for six (total aud390) and still left super hungry. We had wanted to add extras and relayed this to our server as there were seven of us but after our server confidently assured us in saying that the food would be more than enough to feed the seven of us, we trusted them and let them do their thing. Therein lied our misstep for the night. Rule #1: always trust yourself instead. Note that one of our friends has peanut allergy and we informed this prior to the dishes being served. Breakdown of what was served: 2 x Grilled Peppers, Pears & Proscuitto (aud12 each) = aud24 1 x Maple Bourbon Chicken Wings aud18 After 35 minutes, mains finally arrived. It was 9:45pm at this point. 2 x Brussel Sprouts aud18 = aud36 1 x Pumpkin = aud28 : contains peanut, friend told to avoid this 2 x Mac & Cheese $26 = aud52 1 x Beef Rump Cap aud50: Dish of the night 1 x Steak & Frites - Price N/A: estimated aud60 Essentially there were only two protein dishes for six. As our server cleared off our dishes, we asked if there were more food coming. When informed that desserts we next, we expressed our disappointment and requested our server to inform the chef that we were still hungry. Desserts came out right after. Six serves of black sin cake with white chocolate and orange curd (aud12 each). It was bland and tasteless. They tried to make up for our disappointment by offering an additional serve of cake but we sent it back since the majority of us didn’t like the cake upon the first bite. We then asked for the bill and were stunned to see that the additional serve of cake was charged eventhough it had been sent back. This took a further 15 minutes to rectify. Rule #2: Always check the bill. I rarely write an actual negative post but our experience last night definitely warrants it. This might be a place known for their whiskey and bacon but maybe consider elsewhere if you are after a proper dinner feed. #VarnishOnKing #PerthCBD #PerthBar #ModernAustralian #HonestReviewsOnly #PerthFoodReview #PFR_Avoid #PFR_VarnishOnKing (at Varnish on King) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNO3JEvD_rE/?igshid=1clytgpw4zux7

What a great little find in the heart of Subiaco ! It looks like we will have to go back to try the whizz fizz cocktail and the popping candy they looked amazing!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #HappyHour #Subiaco #OldValues #EspressoMartinis #PerthBar #PerthCocktails #PerthDrinks#PerthLife #PerthLifestyleBlogger #PerthBlogger #PerthFood #PerthFoodie #PerthMums #SaturdayNight #GirlsNightOut #PerthToDo #PerthIsOkay #PerthHappenings #MyLife #MyLifeInSquares #UnicornLife (at Old Values) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGL6VO6jsxD/?igshid=gymiwd9baa9l

Throwback from a couple months ago. Casual bar hopping by day, camera in hand, then stumbled into this #cocktail. 🍸🤓 #perthbars #perthbar (at The Office on Harrogate)
