Northbridge is a place where you could imagine that you're pretty near Asia and India...well, for goodness sakes...you are! but this brings it home. It's only too bad that when night falls and it gets late...it goes kind of crazy. Wonderful family fun during the day time. More

When visiting Perth, you'll quickly find that the CBD shuts down after dark. You'll need to cross the railway lines and get to Northbridge which has a good variety of restaurants, pubs and nightlife in general. Caters for all ages. Older people should visit the Elephant & Wheelbarrow pub and/or eat at the Italian restaraunts. Younger people have several night... More

Gone downhill over the years, over priced food, to many nightspots that cannot be manned properly. Not a place to be at night. Taxi's even avoid the area. Daytime, okish..... not a lot to do. head to perth CBD instead. More

This is a great area for choices in food and drink. There are numerous places to eat offering many cuisines and a number of hotels to enjoy a few drinks at or a meal. On some occasions there has been some unruly behavior (although I have not witnessed any) in the area so is best to not be there late... More

The area comes alive at night, lots of great little bars and fantastic food in the Chinatown district. Just make sure your accomodation isn't too close to the bars otherwise you're in for a sleepless night! More

This is the most disappointing area in Perth at night - unless you are 18-23 and enjoy getting completely wasted then passing out in a gutter. There are some great restaurants and cool shops to visit in the day but stay away after dark. More

Pleasant escape from the dull 1960s and 1970s architecture of the city centre. Many good cheap eateries. Gay end of town. More
