What Lums Wine Bar Is
Lums Wine Bar occupies a two storey 1920s heritage terrace at 433 Hay Street, Subiaco. The cellar runs past 100 bottles, with more than 30 wines poured by the glass on any night.
The Urban List covered the landing as a win for a suburb short on small bars. Broadsheet keeps it in its Subiaco bar guide.
The kitchen is Spanish: pintxos by the piece, tapas, and share banquets. The wine list is the point; the food keeps you in the chair.
Reading the Room
Downstairs is a bar room with counter seats and tables under heritage ceilings; upstairs takes the spillover and the functions.
The official line is cosy neighbourhood bar, and for once the marketing undersells nothing. Forty seats feels like the honest count.

Inside Lums Wine Bar
Who Shows Up, and When
Subiaco locals at the counter midweek, date night tables from Thursday, and a long Friday lunch crowd that holds until evening.
Sunday afternoons are the sleeper session: 2pm to 9pm, room to breathe.
What Regulars Say
- OpenTable diners hold it at 4.4 across 107 reviews, with food, service, and ambience all cited.
- Tripadvisor reviewers call out the tapas and the staff's wine knowledge by name.
- The Urban List flags the heritage terrace itself as half the draw.
- The recurring tip: book Friday and Saturday; the room is small and Subiaco has noticed.
Who It Is For
- Date night in the western suburbs without driving into the CBD.
- Wine drinkers who choose by curiosity; 30 open bottles rewards it.
- Avoid if you want beer taps and noise. This is a wine room with a kitchen.
