Fat Controller

Hidden within Stories Pourhouse in Perth CBD, Fat Controller is a secret bar with a clear connection to its surroundings. Its design is inspired by neighbouring Perth Central Train Station, with a distinctive train carriage façade adding to the sense of stepping somewhere separate from the venue around it.

The bar focuses on cocktails, offering familiar classics made to suit your preferences alongside bespoke drinks created from scratch. The website positions Fat Controller as a quieter, more exclusive part of the Stories experience, making it a natural fit for guests looking for a more low-key night out rather than a large, bustling bar setting.

Fat Controller takes casual bookings for groups of 15 to 35 people, with the space suited to gatherings seeking a private-feeling or VIP-style experience in Perth CBD and Northbridge. It may work well for group celebrations or drinks with colleagues, although the venue’s booking information is specifically focused on groups rather than smaller tables or family visits.

The bar is located at 376–420 Wellington Street, within the Stories precinct. It opens from 5pm until late on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 4pm until late on Fridays and Saturdays.
