Our Take on The Standard
From Roe Street The Standard reads as a narrow Northbridge front, but the block opens backward into a wine garden and upward onto a rooftop built on a shipping container, three levels working at once. Concrete Playground covered it as the bar that gave Northbridge back its garden.
Time Out keeps it on the Perth best bars list for the combination: a Mediterranean leaning kitchen, a serious drinks list, and that fairy lit roof with the skyline behind it.
The Rooftop Guide ranks the container roof among Perth's best sunset seats. Saturday from noon it becomes the hardest table in the postcode.
Reading the Room
Downstairs runs polished timber around an open kitchen; the garden runs greenery and long communal tables; the roof runs string lights and skyline. The Urban List calls the garden one of the city's best outdoor escapes.
Wednesday to Friday the doors open at 4pm, weekends at noon, and Sunday winds down by 10pm.
The Menu, Edited
Who Shows Up, and When
Northbridge gallery crowd and CBD after work tables come early, dressed up groups arrive as the lights come on. The roof fills first, the garden holds the long sessions.
Yelp's 78 reviews keep tracing the same arc: come for dinner, stay for the roof.
