The Claremont Hotel

A Perth institution since 1886, The Claremont Hotel combines the character of a long-standing pub with a recently restored setting in the heart of Claremont. Its different spaces give the venue a broad appeal: the Main Bar is suited to a casual meal, a pint and watching the footy, while the Bay Lounge offers a more polished dining experience with full table service and a menu focused on Western Australian produce.

Food is designed for both straightforward pub meals and more leisurely gatherings. The menu includes familiar choices such as the Chicken Parmi and Bush Chook Roll, alongside dishes including Salmon Tartare and Chicken Skewers. In the Main Bar, the offering also includes the Steak Sanga and Salmon Nicoise Salad, while the Bay Lounge menu features share plates and premium steaks from the grill. It is a practical choice for a relaxed lunch, dinner with friends or a meal where different appetites need to be catered for.

There is plenty of variety in the venue itself. The Rooftop is a bright, airy option for drinks and sunny sessions, with high-top tables and cocktails, while the leafy Courtyard provides a more casual, family-friendly setting with access to the kids’ play area. The Bistro also caters to families and can be arranged for intimate dinners or cocktail-style events. For a quieter or more formal occasion, the Bay Lounge, Grevillea Room, Balcony and Nook offer distinct settings, from celebratory dinners to smaller gatherings and networking functions.

The Claremont Hotel is particularly well set up for groups, with spaces and packages for birthdays, engagements, weddings, corporate events and casual social occasions. The Courtyard, Bistro and Rooftop suit easygoing celebrations, while the Grevillea Room is the largest function space and is designed for cocktail events, seated dinners and milestone occasions. With its mix of pub atmosphere, family-friendly areas, refined dining and dedicated function rooms, it works for everything from a casual stop in Claremont to a planned group event.
