WHISK(E)Y TALK
A bar that is equal parts industrial and urban, Perth’s Choo Choo’s has a great selection of international whiskies. Located amongst the myriad of bars in Brookfield Place, you might think it’d be hard to stand out in the crowd. Think again. Choo Choo’s is a crown jewel of the area: cosy, chilled and crafty.
The accomplished team at Choo Choo’s make some amazing whisky-based cocktails. They know how to balance a drink and get you what you’re after, though they’re not opposed to a cheeky neat one either. If you’re not feeling a classic Old Fashioned or Rusty Nail, then the bar staff will be happy to suggest a unique mix of their own.

Always trying new things and keeping it interesting, they’ve also newly ventured into live music on Wednesday nights. The staff are passionate about their music, so you know that your experience here will be accompanied by some of the best music in the area.
FOR EATIN’
There is a small offering of homemade food at Choo Choo’s, but man is it tasty. Their pot pies, sausage rolls, paté, nachos, mac ‘n’ cheese all please the punters, but it is their mouth-watering (free!) popcorn which really stands out; it was recently voted the best by International Popcorn Weekly.
OUR DEAL
Check out their Miami nights every Saturday night in summer with Copacabana music, $13.50 daiquiris and Cuban snacks.
