Northbridge is where Perth goes to drink. The cluster of bars, clubs, and live music venues along and around William Street makes it the undisputed nightlife hub of the city. Fridays and Saturdays are raucous; the rest of the week is considerably calmer, with the neighbourhood's smaller bars and wine spots taking on a more relaxed character.
Northbridge has long been the centre of Perth's LGBTQ+ nightlife, anchored by several long-running venues along William Street.
