Perth Nightlife

From Thursday to Saturday, there is no shortage of nightspots to visit in Perth - although occasionally it can seem as if there are more venues than punters. The most popular dance clubs are concentrated in Northbridge, Subiaco and Fremantle.

Perth is home to a healthy indie rock scene and the 'craic' is good at several Irish pubs and non-Irish establishments city-wide. Some venues ask for a cover charge and a smart standard of dress, which means no thongs (flip flops), vest-tops or shorts - the Aussie male uniform.

Free entertainment weekly Xpress (www.xpressmag.com.au) is the best resource when planning a night out. Cultural listings can also be found in the West Australian newspaper (www.thewest.com.au). Perth also has a lively, if low-key arts and cultural scene.

Tickets to most shows are available from Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com.au) or Ticketek (www.ticketek.com.au).
