Brighton Wine Bar

Brighton Wine Bar is a contemporary neighbourhood venue on the Scarborough coastline, created with a clear focus on Western Australian producers, growers and makers. Its drinks list is entirely Australian, with more than three quarters of the wines sourced from WA. That gives the venue a distinctly local point of view, while still offering a considered range of styles, from sparkling and aromatic wines through to fuller, bolder pours. Local beers and signature Australian-inspired cocktails round out the bar offering.

The food follows the same regional approach. Brighton's menu takes inspiration from the Mediterranean and uses seasonal, native and premium produce sourced from across Western Australia. The dishes are designed for sharing rather than presented as a formal progression, making the venue a natural fit for a relaxed meal with friends or a longer catch-up over drinks. The website does not list individual dishes, but it does make the emphasis clear: fresh, vibrant plates built around local ingredients and intended to be enjoyed with a glass in hand.

The setting is a major part of the experience. Positioned along the Scarborough coast, Brighton has uninterrupted outlooks and a front-row position for sunset, giving it an easy appeal for an early evening drink, a shared meal or time spent lingering at the bar. The interior is described as refined but relaxed, with bespoke hand-sculpted lighting, natural paint finishes and design work by local creative and building teams. Warm, easygoing hospitality is central to the venue, and walk-ins are welcome.

Brighton was built for locals by locals and is a family affair, co-owned by Ben Randall, Marion McAllister and Lauren Nolan. Its focus on connection and community makes it well suited to groups looking to settle in, share food and explore Australian wine without a formal atmosphere. It can also work for a quieter solo drink or a casual coastal catch-up, particularly for visitors who value local produce, an Australian-only wine list and a Scarborough sunset view. Brighton's strongest point of difference is the consistency of its WA-first approach, carried through the drinks, food, design and hospitality.
