The Palace Arcade

The Palace Arcade sits on Beaufort Street in Perth, near the city's Northbridge entertainment precinct. A fun arcade bar, it combines good drinks with retro arcade games and a playful, nostalgic atmosphere — the kind of lively, in-the-know spot that's become a genuine favourite for a fun, sociable night out.

The appeal is that combination of good drinks, classic arcade and pinball games and a buzzing, playful atmosphere in a great location, ideal for a fun night out, drinks with friends or settling in for some retro gaming. The blend of a bar and an arcade gives it a real point of difference, and The Palace Arcade has clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Drinks lists, the games, opening hours and any events vary, and a popular arcade bar fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a drink and some retro arcade fun, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in Perth.
