Rodney's Bait 'n Tackle

Rodney's Bait 'n Tackle sits on Stirling Highway in Mosman Park, near Cottesloe in Perth's well-heeled western suburbs by the coast. A characterful bar — with a fun, quirky fishing-and-tackle theme — it's earned a strong reputation for its good drinks, relaxed atmosphere and genuine personality, the kind of in-the-know spot that's become a local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality drinks, a distinctive, characterful setting and a relaxed vibe in a great western-suburbs location, ideal for a catch-up, a special drink or settling in for the evening. The fun theme and genuine character set it apart, drawing a loyal following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, any food offering, opening hours and pricing 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 genuinely characterful setting, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated near Cottesloe.
