Otherside of Nowhere

Otherside of Nowhere is a community-minded bar in Leederville, Perth, built around local beer, Western Australian drinks and food made for sharing. It began in 2017 as Nowhereman Brewing Co and has since broadened its focus, bringing together fresh beers from Otherside Brewing, a rotating selection of WA wines, spirits from local producers and a full cocktail offering. The venue describes itself as a community cellar door, making its local focus central to the experience rather than an afterthought.

The food centres on sourdough pizza made with dough fermented for 48 hours, giving the base a texture that is described as both bouncy and crisp. The menu includes familiar options such as Margherita and Pepperoni, alongside more distinctive combinations including Mortadella with whipped ricotta and hot honey, Nduja with onion jam and rocket, and a Potato Pizza with taleggio, mozzarella, pecorino and herbs. There is also a substantial panini section, with offerings such as Chicken Parmi, Meat Ball Sub, Italian Hot Dog and Sicilian Panelle, plus smaller plates including Sicilian olives, arancini, chickpea fritters and baked brie. A kids’ menu with meatballs and chips, cheese pizza, or chicken bites and chips makes it a practical option for families as well.

At the bar, ten taps pour Otherside beers, including core styles and limited releases, while the drinks list covers WA wineries and a wide range of local spirits. The website names producers including Ord River Rum, Bombak Gin, Whipper Snapper, West Winds, Limeburners Whiskey and Giniversity, with classic drinks and cocktails available alongside the rotating wine selection. This gives the venue appeal beyond beer drinkers: it can work for a casual pizza visit, a cocktail, or a chance to explore producers from across Western Australia.

The space is presented as relaxed and plant-filled, with lush greenery and an easygoing focus on food, drinks and community. Its broad menu and kids’ options make it suitable for groups and family outings, while the bar and varied drinks list also lend themselves to a low-key date or an unhurried solo visit. For locals and visitors exploring Leederville, Otherside of Nowhere offers a useful meeting point for fresh beer, WA drinks and generously varied Italian-influenced food.
