Homesick residents of Perth will soon have a taste of home with the opening of The Queen’s Arms, a new British pub in the CBD next month. Located in a heritage-listed building at 16 Queen Street, the pub will feature two bars with over 30 beer taps and various dining areas, including a rooftop terrace and an elevated beer garden. The venue will serve traditional British fare such as fish and chips, steak and ale pie, and a Sunday carvery, alongside popular British beers like Tetley’s and London Pride. Co-founded by Drew Flanagan and Ross Drennan of the hospitality group Nokturnl, The Queen’s Arms aims to recreate an authentic British pub atmosphere, inviting locals to contribute memorabilia to enhance the pub’s character. The venue is set to open in late September and will operate daily with live music on Fridays.
Why It Matters
The opening of The Queen’s Arms is significant as it fills a gap in Perth’s hospitality scene left by the closure of popular British pubs like Moon and Sixpence in 2017. This new establishment seeks to revitalize British pub culture in the city, which has a notable community of British expatriates. The emphasis on authenticity, including the collection of genuine British memorabilia, reflects a growing trend in the hospitality industry to create unique and personalized dining experiences. By catering to local tastes with traditional British cuisine and drinks, The Queen’s Arms aims to foster a sense of community and belonging among patrons.
