4 Mates Bar & Grill - Mt Lawley

4 Mates Bar & Grill is a casual burger, bar and grill venue on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley, Perth, built around simple ideas: a solid feed, a few cold drinks, live sport and good company. Its own story comes from four friends who wanted to create an easygoing place for people to meet, whether that means dropping in after work, planning a weekend catch-up or settling in to watch the footy. The atmosphere is deliberately informal and social rather than formal dining, with a broad welcome for blokes, sheilas, kids and anyone looking for a relaxed meal.

The menu is centred on smashed burgers, described by the venue as big-flavour, substantial food made to satisfy. There is more choice beyond burgers, including fried chicken, tacos, vegan pizzas, salad and dessert, as well as gluten-free options. The website says the beef patties, chicken tenders and bacon are sourced from WA butchers, while other produce is kept local where possible. That local focus is part of the venue’s identity, with the team linking nearby producers to fresher food and a distinctly Australian approach to the menu.

Families are specifically catered for, making 4 Mates a practical option when a group needs varied choices rather than a single style of cuisine. It also suits groups of friends wanting a lively bar-and-grill setting, particularly when live sport is part of the plan. The venue promotes dine-in, takeaway and delivery, with online ordering available through the Mount Lawley branch. Bookings can also be made online, which is useful for organising a larger gathering without relying on walk-in space.

At the Mount Lawley location, you’ll find 4 Mates at Shop 7, 609 Beaufort Street. The website lists wheelchair access among the venue’s amenities, and presents the restaurant as a welcoming place for a quick meal, a longer catch-up or a family outing. With its combination of smashed burgers, varied comfort food, local WA ingredients and an unpretentious sports-bar feel, it is best suited to diners who value a relaxed setting and plenty of choice over a polished or formal restaurant experience.
