Slow down to Freo pace
and take your time over one of the many beers on tap at this 1887 pub. Lots of interesting
guest brews create havoc for the indecisive drinker, and the pub food and pizzas are very
good. We love the heritage limestone courtyard, especially when sunlight peeks through
the elms and eucalypts.
The Monk

33 South Tce; 11.30am-late)
Park yourself on the spacious front terrace or
in the chic interior, partly fashioned from recycled railway sleepers, and enjoy the Monk's
own brews (kolsch, mild, wheat, porter, rauch and pale ale). The bar snacks and pizzas are
also good, and guest beers and regular seasonal brews always draw a know-ledgeable
crowd of local craft-beer nerds.
CRAFT BEER

Yes, there is more to Freo than craft
beer. In a lovely heritage building, this classy French-themed wine bar also does shared
plates of charcuterie and cheese.

Variety is the key at Fly by Night, a not-for-profit club that's been
run by musos for musos for years. All kinds perform here, and many local bands made a
start here. It's opposite the car park below the old Fremantle Prison.
