Has anybody mentioned the Left Bank Hotel? Does it still exist? When I was living there back in the 90's it pumped on a Sunday but you could have played bocce in the bar on Saturday! West Aussies love a Sunday sesh!! Was a great place to get on it in my early 20's but 43 now so probably would choose something less hectic now.
Railway Hotel on Tydeman Road used to be an early opener Avo (maybe still is?). Used to drop in for "brekky" after night shift on North Wharf (bacon and egg rolls and 4 stubbies!) then ride home to Salter Point, have another 4 stubbies in the pool then in bed about 10am!! Great memories haha!
Edit: Just looked it up....North Mole, not North Wharf, Birksgate Road to be exact. Now Macrofertil Australia but was once Coflexip Stena Offshore making oil and gas rig flexible pipelines.
Haha, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence but the only pub I looked at (which is the closest to where we'll be) is called The Left Bank. Seems a bit more up market now though plassy so they probably wouldn't let you in anyway

Yeah that's the place. 20 years on from when I was there though but was an upmarket place even back then. Whatever you do, make sure you have a beer at a pub while watching the sun set over the ocean (us east/south coasters don't see that often). You wont see that from the Left Bank in Freo but the Cottesloe Hotel has my fond memories of this and just up the road a bit from Freo.
Give Little Creatures brewery a visit.
Hey @taslucas you keen on trying to organise a meetup for dinner with the WA crowd on monday night the 27th march?in freo somewhere
Oh I thought that was just the wind
>>>tappin from tassie
the left bank monday 27th...it's in meetups now.....
Had a beer or two at Clancy's Fish (Shack??) a coupla weekends back. Good variety of left-field beers that have a blatant disregard for limiting alcohol% to keep authorities happy... Good grub too...
Failing that there's sunset beers @ the OBH. "ain't nothing like a country crowd" as the bumper stickers used to say. It's gone a bit upmarket since then too tho'
Freo prison tour at night is great. Also the tunnel tour under neath the prison.
Park yourself at Little Creatures for a few ales, then mosey on to the Sail and Anchor for a few more. Catch you breath then wander down to the Newport....
Mention my name and they will throw you out the door.
If you like a bit of scenery while drinking wander down to the Left Bank on the rivers edge.
If you can get out of town skip over to Rotto. Try and get a tunnel tour there as well.
Short of that, hook up with the Western Patrol Club and tag along on a run.
Fremantle is a pretty arty farty town full or weird arse people. I find grabbing a coffee on the Cafe strip and watching the world pass by quite enjoyable.

Woo! On the way!
