Varnish on King

Down in the Perth CBD, there’s a subterranean joint pouring serious *uisge beatha*. Varnish on King. Prohibition-era vibes colliding with Deep South swagger. Dim lighting, stunning interior design, killer soft-rock playlists. Whiskey geeks practically camp out here for the sprawling, American-heavy list. The absolute flex? Their iconic bacon and whiskey flight. Distinct cuts of pork, meticulously paired by fat content to complement the spirit's mash bill and tasting notes—pure alchemy. Carnivores routinely pack the intimate booths for the 90-minute endless steak nights, fueled by razor-sharp, hyper-attentive service. A flawless playbook for a moody date night or high-end drinks. Just secure a table early. Weekend walk-ins are a rookie mistake.
