this was my favorite pub in perth - awesome place to hang out with uni friends. good live music (if u like rock). there's a local band there that plays various rock tunes from u2 and coldplay to rhcp and counting crows. and during breaks there'd be a DJ that spins rnb + dance tunes.

on friday this pub gets really packed, so be early to avoid the long queue.

Dress Code: casual! wear anything really

Universal bar has excellent bands and live performing singers. I went on a Thursday and there was this singer who sings almost like Barry White. No cover charges. Crowds are mainly the yuppies and 30s-50s. Can get very crowded on Saturday nights. The bar does serve simple nice meals too. Kitchen closes before 9pm.

For Wednesday's nights, a popular place to be. So after receiving a stamp on your wrist, go inside and head to the counter not to claim your mail, but some delicious beverages instead. Let's begin spinning around and have a Big Wednesday night.

I noticed that the bouncers were very efficient with bad boys, so keep cool otherwise you will be packed as an express parcel ;-) Staff was prompt and friendly as in every Port Office... and no queue to do at the counter.

Don't know if it is still the case as I was there in 2002, so keep me inform if any Post Office change occurs...
