    There are 2 bars, a restaurant and a bottle shop at Moondyne Joes. The Governors Bar has 18 beers on tap as well as a good assortment of bottled beers and Australian wines. Friday and Saturday night you can enjoy live entertainment. You can also get a meal there. In the Sports Bar there is a big screen TV, pool tables and a TAB for betting, most events are shown live.

    The pub is named after the legend of Moondyne Joe (also known as Joseph Bolitho Johns) who was born in 1831 and won fame for his jail-breaking feats at both the Fremantle and Toodyay (Newcastle) jails between 1861 and 1969. He managed to escape every time he was placed behind bars. They finally had to build him a special cell to keep him in. Most of his offences seem to be mainly horse stealing and jail breaking. His name came from the fact that he would roam the Moondyne Hills wearing a kangaroo skin cape and possum skin slippers.

    The Swan Hotel is just over the Swan River from historic Fremantle. They provide live music on Tues, Thurs-Sun nights. The old hotel has been a landmark on the north bank for many years. The old Cave bar has been refurbished and is now the Swan Basement which plays host to a wide variety of both international and national bands.

    Cottesloe - OBH and The Cottesloe Hotel: Sundays on the Beach

    Sunday sessions at Cottesloe Beach are a bit of a Perth tradition. The beach is one of the top swimming/sunbathing spots in Perth, clean and usually patrolled by lifeguards. There's plenty of grass areas and a playground along the beach front for families or picnics. From the beach, head to The Cottesloe Hotel for a young, trendy crowd or the OBH for a more casual, beer garden type crowd. Get there early (before seven) to avoid big queues.

    Although these pubs are right on the beach and it's nice to head over after a day on the sand, they can get a bit strict about shoes for the guys - make sure you have a neat, closed shoes, not just your beach thongs.

    Millenium Cinemas is owned by Hoyts Cinemas and it is just off the Cappuccino strip in Fremantle. Their theatres have all the latest in technology. Free street parking is available on week days after 5.00pm and there is a carpark next door to the cinema also.

    Fly by Night Musicians Club This club was Western Australia’s first smokefree venue. Both local and internation musical acts are featured here. The building itself was an artillery Drill Hall back in 1896 and is now a heritage-listed building.

    Sail & Anchor Pub
    The Sail and Anchor is an icon in Fremantle and has its own brewery complete with tour of the brewing process. Two decades ago the buildings life began as the Freemasons Hotel before being turned into the Sail and Anchor and Australia's first microbrewery. After extensive refurbishment in 2001, there is now a modern café menu from a new downstairs kitchen, and simple and elegant dining in the upstairs brassiere.

  • The Fly By Nite Musicians Club has been around for 20 years. This quaint former airplane hangar plays host to all manner of musical delights. Some favourites that I’ve caught there over the years include The Tea Party, Nathan Gaunt, Something for Kate and Fourplay (String Quartet). Other regulars include Bob Evans (of Jebediah fame), Eskimo Joe, and the John Butler Trio, but they do hold other events such as family shows, fundraisers and comedy evenings.

    You can buy drinks there and you can usually get tickets at the door at an increased price, however if it’s a popular gig I would suggest you get them before hand.

    Check out their website for the latest gig updates.

    Depends on the gig!

    Little Creatures: Creatures of the Night

  • Situated on the water, in the previous home of the Crocodile Farm, Little Creatures has quite a cult following. Home to the funky, it has a great menu which includes a variety of off-beat pizzas and has a real industrial feel with good music. It can be hard to get a seat, but it’s a good place to go if you’re willing to get there early and stay on. It does brew it’s own beer, which includes the well known Pale Ale, and Rogers. I prefer the Elsie B’s Red Bubbles myself.

    Neat Casual.

  • Again, one of Freo’s more upmarket pubs, owned by a local footballer I believe. Good food, but definitely a venue for the beautiful people or if you’re off you’re face and don’t notice everyone sizing you up as you walk in. Whenever I’m there I can’t wait to leave.
