Mechanics Institute

Hidden among Northbridge’s heritage rooftops, this tiny but mighty house of fun stands out as a firm favourite. Mechanics Institute is a key voice in Perth’s cocktail conversation, with a quick but quirky board of daily-changing drinks. Past hits have included a PB and Jealous with Sheep Dog whisky, macadamia, raspberry and coffee, and a Starward Colada with tropical notes of pineapple, coconut and lime. With an al fresco roof deck, sing-out-loud soundtracks and the ability to order an XL one-size-defeats-all Flipside Burger at the bar, you’re in for a guaranteed good time.
