Toots

Toots brings a 1970s-inspired disco bar to Northbridge, Perth, with a deliberately hidden entrance in Chinatown. It is a secret bar within a front bar, so finding it is part of the evening: head to the front venue, ask “Is Toots in?”, collect the free golden ticket and follow the directions to the secret door. The exact location is intentionally not published.

Inside, the experience centres on dancing, drinks and a food menu designed for sharing or grazing. The offering includes small plates such as roasted red pepper hummus with dukkah and baguette, confit pork shoulder rillette with cornichon and baguette, and bocconcini with pickled fennel and orange vinaigrette. There are also charcuterie and cheese options, including combined cured meats and cheese served with lavosh. Dietary requirements should be raised with staff, as the venue notes that cross-contamination may occur.

Toots is open on Friday and Saturday nights from 7pm to midnight. It operates primarily as a walk-in venue, with entry handled on a first-in, best-dressed basis, although table reservations and VIP entry options are available. That makes it suited to an evening out with friends or anyone looking for a bar experience with a puzzle-like arrival rather than a straightforward front-door entry.

The venue is part of the Lavish Habits group, founded by chef and restaurateur Clint Nolan. The group’s venues are built around distinct eras and settings, and Toots is its disco-focused offering. For visitors happy to follow clues and embrace a little mystery, it offers a more theatrical night out in Northbridge.
