Perth To Welcome New Venue, Jimmy's Den, This Year

While local punters mourn the impending loss of stalwart Northbridge venue The Bakery, they can take more than a little solace in the news that the void will be more than capably filled by a new venue springing up this year, the eagerly awaited Jimmy's Den.

Weighing in with a capacity of 200, the venue — the brainchild of local pop-up bar company Bar Pop — will be available for both 18+ and all-ages events, held during the day or in the evening, with in-house lighting and PA provided with the option of using the venue's full backline, door staff and front-of-house operator to help streamline the experience for artists and their beleaguered tour managers.

"We stumbled across a great old space in the heart of Northbridge that needed to be brought back to life," Bar Pop director Chris Bausor said of the new venture in a statement.

"Jimmy's Den will become the unofficial home of live music in WA."

Bookings for the new digs, at 69 James Street, Northbridge, are now open, and will be handled by JumpClimb Events, which also looks after spaces such as The Aviary, Public House, The George and The Byrneleigh.

If you're interested in making a booking, or have an associated enquiry, hit up Paul Fletcher: fletch@jimmysden.com.au.
