In the vibrant suburb of Highgate, Western Australia, two notable pubs stand as must-visit destinations for both locals and tourists seeking authentic Australian hospitality and quality fare. These establishments are The Queens Tavern and the former Beaufort Tavern (now closed).
The Queens Tavern, steeped in history since the late 1800s, remains one of Perth's most popular watering holes, drawing patrons with its fusion of timeless style, excellent food, traditional service, and top-notch brews. Situated along Beaufort Street, it provides convenient access to major attractions like the Central Business District, Banks Reserve on the Swan River, HBF Park, and Hyde Park, all within a short walk or drive.
The Queens Tavern's menu showcases locally sourced produce, featuring mouthwatering steaks, fresh seafood, and classic pub favorites elevated to new heights. With separate areas such as the Queens Restaurant and a cozy bar, there's something for every occasion, whether it's a family gathering, catching up with friends, or unwinding after work. Spanning three levels, the venue offered diverse settings ranging from a lively ground-floor bar to intimate upper-level seating and a scenic rooftop bar overlooking the cityscape. Known for its innovative Asian-infused cuisine, the pub provided a varied menu encompassing small plates, gourmet burgers, salads, and decadent desserts, complemented by an extensive drinks selection comprising craft beers, fine wines, signature cocktails, and international spirits.
