Halford - Perth

Halford Bar is a classy establishment located in the basement of the State Buildings, at the corner of Hay Street and Cathedral Avenue, the site of the safe room of the old Titles Office. Entering down stairs you find the bar area, with a striking marble topped bar, then through an archway to a couple of sitting areas, or down more stairs to another intimate space.

Espresso martini Masterclass was good fun! You have to pre book and have at least 6 ppl I think. We tried three variations and I was pretty wired the rest of the night... Good way to kick off a big night with friends! They also served a tiramisu type cake which was lovely. The bar tender was very good and was kind enough to wait for someone who was late. We just sat back relaxed while they talked about the drinks and made them for us! Excellent! Cool basement level bar with loads of drinks to choose!

Downstairs Bar opposite Perth Library, its lush and cosy with high chairs tables on one side and lounge area. Good selection of cocktails and service was fairly good. No issues with the drinks its good stuff however I think the let down was probably the toasties. It wasn't toated well enough, ended up being warm bread really nothing special considering its a whopping $18 . I personally would only come here for a cocktail or two in future.

What a cozy and yet funky hidden secret.Not the average drinking hole but a classy cocktail and spirit joint. Everything takes time and watching them at the bar proves the attention they show to your perfect cocktail.No Long Island Iced Tea here... whiskey sours and negroni. Classy!!!Sit at the bar or service in the lounge... the staff really make the effort. Do yourself a favour... treat yourself to a cheeky few when the other joints shut.

I really liked the vibe at this bar. We asked for recommendations and our server brought out passionfruit and coffee based cocktails. I preferred my passionfruit/ginger one to my husbands coffee martini. I would totally go back for a pre-drink over the weekend.
