An Sibin

In the heart of Northbridge, An Sibin offers a distinctly Irish pub experience built around Guinness, live music and the easy sociability of a neighbourhood local. The drinks list includes Guinness, cocktails, wines and local favourites on tap, while a selection of light snacks is available for anyone who wants something to eat without turning the visit into a full meal. You can settle in at the bar or head outside to the alfresco area, with four trestle tables positioned out the front.

Music is central to the venue. An Sibin says it hosts live music seven days a week, with traditional and more modern Irish tunes featuring across weekday evenings and bigger weekend sessions. The pub also shows sport on its screens, including AFL, NRL, Gaelic football and hurling, making it a natural choice for watching a match with company. Events listed by the venue include live music, rugby, pool and darts, so the atmosphere can shift from a casual drink to a livelier night out.

The pub opened in 2014 and has become a meeting place for Perth’s Irish community, as well as for visitors drawn to its music and late-night atmosphere. Its name comes from the Irish Gaelic word “sibin”, historically associated with hidden, unlicensed bars where people gathered to socialise and listen to music. The modern An Sibin takes that idea in a more welcoming pub direction, with an emphasis on tradition, conversation and a friendly reception for regulars and first-time visitors alike.

An Sibin suits a range of occasions in Perth: a solo drink at the bar, a catch-up with mates, a night built around live music, or a larger celebration. The venue specifically caters for intimate gatherings and group events such as birthdays and milestones. It also offers table bookings, event hosting and gift vouchers. With trading extending until midnight on most listed nights and later on Friday and Saturday, it is set up for both an early visit and a longer Northbridge evening.
