Three beachside bars with great food

Noteworthy for: Sipping a chilled glass of white wine as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, watching it set the sky ablaze, is exactly what the Verandah Bar was designed for.

One of best places in Perth to kick off a summer Sunday session, "The Cott" has a corner for every punter. Downstairs, the Craft Beer Bar has a great selection of tap and bottled beers along with wines and a hearty bistro menu, while the Verandah Bar upstairs is a chic spot to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of Margaret River red while admiring the ocean views. In winter, you can still enjoy the vista through the floor-to-ceiling windows while cosying up next to the fire. The bar has it's own smaller, select food menu, too.

Currently being renovated, the hotel's Garden Bar will soon re-open as an alfresco bar and restaurant - the perfect spot to kick back with a coldie.
