Our Take on BrewDog Perth
BrewDog opened its first Western Australia bar in January 2024 at 16 Gordon St, the former Gordon Street Garage coffee roastery, and kept the warehouse bones. Broadsheet covered the conversion when it landed, and the scale still surprises you on a first visit. Two bars, a beer garden, a dedicated arcade room and a stage share one footprint.
You come here for volume and choice rather than intimacy. If your idea of a beer bar is six stools and a chalkboard, the Northbridge small bars will fit you better.
Reading the Room
The indoor room keeps the roastery's industrial shell, with long tables built for groups and screens set up for AFL, AFLW and cricket. The arcade games room sits off to the side and absorbs whoever lost interest in the footy.
The beer garden is the better seat from spring through autumn. Live music runs there every Friday from 5pm and every Sunday from 2pm, per the official schedule.
What to Order First
Who Shows Up, and When
Office workers drift in from West Perth from knock off, families hold the garden tables early, and the screens pull a sports crowd on AFL weekends. The Urban List files it among Perth's best sports watching rooms for exactly that reason.
Monday and Tuesday run quieter and cheaper thanks to the burger and trivia deals. Saturday game days are the loudest slot on the calendar.
The Pattern in the Reviews
- Perth is OK tracked the site's conversion from Gordon Street Garage and called the result one of the biggest brewpub openings the city has seen.
- Broadsheet's opening coverage flagged the arcade room and the 20 tap lineup as the points of difference from every other West Perth venue.
- Reviewers on the venue's own channels consistently rate the wings and the plant based range, which covers half the menu.
Go If, Skip If
- 01Group bookings that need space, screens and a tap list everyone can agree on.
- 02Beer drinkers who want the BrewDog range fresh rather than from a can.
- 03Skip it if you want a quiet conversation; this room is built for noise.
