43 Below Bar & Restaurant

Down a flight of stairs on Barrack Street—completely invisible to the casual CBD stroller. 43 Below is that subterranean Perth staple where savvy pint-seekers duck in for a proper feed. It’s a classic order-at-the-till operation. No fuss, just brilliant, hearty pub grub. Word around the terraces is the daily specials are absolute steals—think a beautifully charred porterhouse steak with fresh salad, or a rich, comforting beef goulash atop creamy mash. Sink a cold ale to a soundtrack of upbeat tunes that never drown out the banter. The menu is tight, the tapas hit the spot, and the vibe is impeccably chilled. Easy to walk right past—but entirely worth the detour downstairs.
