Subiaco Bar & Bistro

Subiaco Bar & Bistro is a pub-style venue just off Hay Street in Subiaco, with a broad food and drinks offering for locals, casual catch-ups and group occasions. The venue says it serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, with 15 beers on tap, around 20 wines by the glass and a range of dining and drinking areas. Its weekday happy-hour sessions run from 12pm to 2pm and 4pm to 6pm, with selected tap beers and wines by the glass offered at $8 during those periods.

The food menu covers familiar pub favourites alongside a few broader options. Smaller plates include beer-battered fish tacos, chicken tacos, arancini balls, wings and fried chicken with sticky sauce, while the burgers range from veggie to chicken and beef. The more substantial tavern classics include fish and chips, chicken parmigiana, chicken casalinga, butter chicken, chilli mussels, a 300g Scotch fillet, pork ribs and Subi Barramundi. There are also garden bowls such as Thai beef salad and grilled halloumi salad, plus junior plates including chicken nuggets, fish and chips and spaghetti with Napolitana sauce. For dessert, the chocolate brownie and sticky date pudding are both served with vanilla ice cream.

The venue is set up to accommodate more than a quick drink or meal. It has a private room, flexible venue areas and a dedicated functions team, with platters and grazing boards available as part of its cocktail-style functions offering. The site says functions can be tailored to different styles and budgets, making the space suitable for celebrations and larger gatherings. Group bookings require a $200 deposit, which is applied to food and drink spend and is non-refundable.

For regular entertainment, the venue lists poker night on Tuesday evenings, alongside other programmed events. Its “beer, burgers and music” positioning points to an easygoing pub setting rather than a formal dining room. The menu and layout give it flexibility: solo visitors can settle in for a drink or meal, couples can share casual plates, groups can use the broader dining areas, and families have junior choices available. With its mix of drinks, pub classics, weekday specials and function spaces, it is best suited to relaxed occasions where a varied menu and room for different group sizes matter.
