The Ashby Bar & Bistro

The Ashby Bar & Bistro is a village-local style venue in Ashby, Perth, bringing together a bistro, sports bar and garden bar under one roof. It is set up for different kinds of visits: a relaxed meal, a game on the screens, a drink with friends or a weekend session with live entertainment. The venue describes its food as honest pub fare alongside restaurant-style dishes, using seasonal produce from local farms and suppliers. The menu includes familiar pub classics, with bookings available for those who prefer to plan ahead.

Sports are a major part of the venue. The sports bar has multiple screens, a digital TAB race wall and facilities designed so guests can follow the action, while the Garden Bar has a large 7m² digital screen in the courtyard. That makes it a practical choice for watching a match with a group, although the format also suits someone dropping in to catch a particular game. The Garden Bar adds live entertainment each weekend, beginning on Friday nights with an acoustic set, and the website also mentions small-batch craft beers and Sunday sessions.

For families and larger groups, the bistro provides a modern dining space with comfortable booths, while the bistro and Garden Bar can seat up to 300 people combined. The venue also promotes functions and tailored event arrangements, including platters for occasions such as birthdays, baby showers, hen’s parties, anniversaries and pre-event celebrations. Its high-tea-style platter offering includes gourmet finger sandwiches, cakes and pastries, with sparkling wine on arrival and tea and coffee available for guests. Function bookings have specific deposit, cancellation and minimum-spend conditions, so it is worth checking the details before committing.

The Ashby is presented as part of Tenfold Hospitality Group, a Perth-based, family-owned hospitality business established in 2007. The group operates several suburban bars, restaurants and cafes, and says its venues have received industry awards, including a 2015 Pub of the Year title for The Ashby from De Bortoli Wines and 6PR. Practical features include free parking and wheelchair-friendly access. Children must remain seated with their legal guardians, and the venue is not dog friendly except for service dogs. Overall, it is best suited to families, sports followers, casual groups and function gatherings looking for a broad suburban pub setting rather than a small, quiet bar.
