Salutation Hotel

Walk into the Salutation and you're stepping into Perth's proper drinking history—the kind of place where the bar staff know regulars by name and the walls have stories to tell. It's a proper hotel in the traditional sense: rooms upstairs, a welcoming bar downstairs where you can sink a pint or a dram without any fuss. South Street's got plenty of choice these days, but the Salutation keeps doing what it's always done well: being a genuine local haunt rather than another themed gastropub. The vibe is unhurried and unpretentious, the sort of place you end up staying longer than you planned.
