The Wellington Arms

Park Road in Freemantle isn't trying to be anything it's not, and neither is The Wellington Arms. You'll walk in to find regulars nursing pints at the bar, the kind of neighbourhood pub where everyone knows each other's names and the landlord remembers your usual. It's the antidote to those sterile chain pubs dotted around the city centre—this place has character baked in. The real ale selection is taken seriously here, and if you're after decent booze and actual conversation rather than forced Instagram moments, you're in exactly the right spot.
