An underground cocktail room in an 1887 bank vault beneath St Georges Terrace, clad in jarrah and salvaged WA hospitality history, with some of the most awarded bartenders in Perth.
Foxtrot Unicorn opened in late 2019 underneath 101 St Georges Terrace, in a bank vault built in 1887, and Broadsheet still describes it as the CBD's best kept secret because people cannot find the door. The move: step into the office lobby, take the staircase left of the lifts, and the jarrah clad room opens up below street level.
This is the bar Perth bartenders drink at on their nights off, which the Wanderlog review pattern repeats often enough to treat as fact.
The vault keeps you close to the bar, all dark timber and shelving stacked with up cycled pieces of old WA pubs and hotels. The WA Good Food Guide reads the fit out as a museum of the state's drinking history that happens to serve drinks.
Seats at the bar beat the tables. The conversation with the bartender is half the product here.
Suits early, hospitality people late, and a steady line of cocktail tourists who read about the vault online. Google reviews sit at 4.7 across 386 ratings, which for a CBD basement bar is remarkable consistency.
Midweek evenings give you bar seats and time to talk. Friday after 6pm the vault fills with the office exodus and stays full.
