Run by restauranteur Matthew Barge in conjunction with owner Donnacha Reidy and head chef Grant Grayling, the Hampden Road venue looks set to become a popular spot.
Matthew said, ‘We wanted to bring something unique to the bar scene in Perth, so we like to call this the anti-pub. We’ve planned a more health-conscious offering when it comes to food and drink, and wines will come from a rotating list of boutique wineries that have a natural and organic focus.’
The bar will also mainly serve local WA beers and ciders, as well as a cocktails and a ‘bar sustainability program’ that includes recycling and repurposing waste to ensure maximum ecological sustainability.
The two-level interior has been designed to have a ‘stripped back’ feel, with an outdoor terrace and a ‘Boab Tree’ garden providing outdoor spaces for the warmer months.
It’s not just about the food and drink, The Resident will also host a number of events over the coming months, so watch this space for more information on Sunday sessions, after-work specials and weekend brunches.
The Resident is at 156 Hampden Road, Nedlands.
