Bar Love opened at 195 Brisbane Street in November 2024, on the seam between Northbridge and Highgate. Pippa Canavan and Murray Walsh, who managed Mechanics Institute together for years, own the room.
Broadsheet announced it with the owners' own tagline: cold drinks and hot bartenders.
The Urban List filed it as a disco tinged dive bar. The drinks say cocktail bar; the prices and the posters say dive.
One small room in red, pink, and peach. A chequered tile bar, hanging retro lamps, and a wall of posters and trinkets, per The City Lane's review.
Hospitality workers and Beaufort Street locals on the early shift, a younger Northbridge crowd as the lamps dim.
Saturday opens at noon and runs twelve hours. The afternoon session is the calm one.
Brisbane Street sits at the top of Northbridge, ten minutes on foot from the train station via William Street.
Pair it with the Northbridge small bar circuit, or start here before dinner on Beaufort Street. Our Perth cocktail guide has the full map.
