Ormonds

Walk into Ormonds on Perth's main drag and you'll immediately clock it's the real deal. This is where you'll find actual locals propping up the bar rather than tourists queuing for Instagram shots—it's got that lived-in comfort that comes from decades of doing things right without making a fuss about it. The kind of place where the bar staff know regulars' orders, the pints are poured properly, and there's a proper menu that doesn't overthink things. It's not trying to be cool or artisanal; it's just a solid neighbourhood pub that happens to be slap bang in the middle of town. That's precisely why people keep coming back.
