Brass Monkey Hotel

At the corner of James and Williams Streets in Northbridge, the Brass Monkey Hotel is a sprawling historical pub with several distinct spaces under one roof. Its prominent position and illuminated exterior have made it a recognisable Perth venue, while the interior is arranged more like a collection of bars and rooms than a single dining area. There is plenty of choice in where to settle, from the Main Bar and its adjoining courtyard and Cave Bar to the upstairs bar and balcony known as Up There.

Food is served across the hotel’s different areas, with the general pub menu covering starters for the table, burgers, pizza and familiar pub meals including fish and chips and chicken parma. Patriots Sports Bar has its own slightly different menu, with an open kitchen focused on American-style bar food. The drinks selection includes draught and bottled beer, wine, spirits and cocktails, while the Rooftop Bar adds craft beers, ciders and a broad selection of premium spirits. The venue’s range makes it suitable for a casual meal, a drink after work or a longer catch-up with friends.

For sport, Patriots Sports Bar is the standout space. It has 22 screens, three big screens, two private screening booths and arcade games, with live sport shown throughout the venue. A separate 3.5-metre screen is also used for live sporting events in HD. The Rooftop Bar offers a different experience, with city views from above, while the upstairs balcony provides a vantage point over the streets of Northbridge. These options give the hotel a varied atmosphere, from a traditional pub setting to a dedicated sports bar and an elevated outdoor space.

The Brass Monkey also caters for functions, with several event spaces available in its central Northbridge location and free room hire offered for functions. Patriots Sports Bar’s arcade games may appeal to families during suitable visits, while the mix of seating and bar areas gives groups room to choose a setting that fits their plans. With a Google rating of 4.0 from 3,755 reviews, it is an established option for eating, drinking, watching sport or hosting an event in Perth’s entertainment precinct.
