Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound sits on William Street in Northbridge, the heart of Perth's dining-and-nightlife precinct just north of the CBD. A characterful, in-the-know bar — tucked away in a laneway-style setting — it's earned a strong reputation for its good drinks and relaxed, characterful atmosphere, the kind of hidden-gem spot that rewards seeking out.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a genuinely characterful, slightly tucked-away setting and a great Northbridge location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. The sense of discovery and the relaxed, characterful vibe set it apart, and Ezra Pound has clearly carved out a loyal following in Perth's bar scene.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink in a characterful, hidden-gem setting, it's often just a matter of finding your way in and seeing why it's so well loved in Northbridge.
