Indi

Indi is a Scarborough bar and live music venue with a strong connection to Perth’s gig circuit. The Indian Ocean Hotel website describes it as an iconic stage for live acts, with past performers including John Butler Trio, British India, Great Gable, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, DZ Deathrays, Karnivool and Coterie. That makes it a natural choice for listeners who prefer seeing live bands in a dedicated venue rather than treating music as background entertainment.

Food and drink are covered across the day. The cafe serves coffee and gourmet toasties in the morning, while from midday the Street Eats Eatery shifts the focus towards food inspired by Times Square in New York, night markets in Taiwan and Tokyo’s Shibuya intersection. The website also highlights the eatery’s atmosphere, suggesting a setting shaped by those international influences rather than a narrowly defined local menu.

For visitors in Scarborough, Indi suits a casual meal, a drink before a gig or an evening centred on live music. Its programme includes established Australian acts alongside newer names, so the appeal will depend on the artist booked. The venue website also includes a rooms section and photography by Valentine Girardot, although it provides little further detail about the accommodation or the layout. With a cafe and kitchen operating through the day and live performances forming the central draw, it works for solo gig-goers, couples and small groups looking for an evening with music and food in Perth.
