Badlands Bar

Badlands Bar sits on Aberdeen Street in the Perth CBD, in the city's Northbridge-adjacent entertainment area. A much-loved live-music bar, it's a genuine fixture of Perth's music scene — combining a great program of live gigs and events with good drinks and a fun, characterful atmosphere, the kind of beloved venue that's hosted countless memorable nights.

The appeal is that combination of a brilliant live-music program, good drinks and a lively, characterful atmosphere in a central location, ideal for catching a gig, a band, a drink and a great night out. As one of Perth's well-known live-music bars, its line-ups and energy make it a real drawcard for music lovers, and Badlands has clearly built a devoted following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 820 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved venue. The gig-and-events program, opening hours, drinks and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up and booking ahead before you go — particularly for a specific act or show — though for live music, a drink and a great atmosphere, it's well worth seeing who's playing at Badlands Bar.
