Universal Bar Overview

A landmark on Perth’s live music scene, Universal Bar is also one of the city’s most popular and exclusive function venues. Styled after a New Orleans jazz bar, this classy Northbridge institution draws a mostly 30-something crowd with live music every night, plus award-winning cocktails and a quality menu. It all makes for a lively yet laidback atmosphere, perfect for catching a gig, hosting a party or just kicking back on the upstairs terrace with a drink poured by some of Perth’s finest bartenders. The beer and wine list is certainly not to be sneezed at but you can’t go past the cocktails; try The Universal, Universal Bar's signature vanilla-infused mix of tequila, gin & mango liqueur.
