The Half Moon Bar

You'll find The Half Moon tucked away on North Methven Street, that stretch where Perth starts to feel properly lived-in rather than touristy. It's the kind of place where regulars have their spots, the bar staff know what you drink, and the conversation flows as easily as the pints. The room has that comfortable, slightly worn-in quality that comes from actually being somewhere people want to spend time—no Instagram backdrops or craft cocktail pretension, just good beer, decent company, and the occasional heated discussion about football. It's genuine Perth drinking culture, the sort of pub that's survived by being exactly what the neighbourhood needs.
