About Back Bar

Tucked behind Hylin in West Leederville, this rear-entry neighbourhood hideaway pairs craft pints with serious weeknight value. Locals drop in on Wednesdays for the parmi specials—piled alongside chips—and pack the courtyard again on Thursdays for burgers. Between the relaxed outdoor tables and the cocktail pours at the timber bar, it functions just as easily for low-key knockoffs as it does for weekend parties. Dogs sprawl happily out in the alfresco seating while plates of crunchy prawns and whiskey sours land across the tables.

  • Weeknight Dining Specials: Mid-week crowds assemble for dedicated discount nights, featuring chicken parmis on Wednesdays and burger specials on Thursdays.
  • Hidden Laneway Entrance: Tucked neatly behind a railway-side cafe, patrons find the watering hole via a speakeasy-style back entry.
  • Courtyard Alfresco Seating: Patrons can settle inside by the bar or take their drinks outside into the dog-friendly open-air space.

Before you head over

Practical planning tips for dining and visiting Back Bar

  • Navigate Busy Specials Nights

    The bar gets very busy and noisy on weeknight special evenings. If indoor tables are full, head out to the alfresco area or grab a seat at the bar while waiting for a table to clear.

  • Dining With Pets

    If you're bringing your dog, grab a table in the outdoor alfresco area where pets can sit comfortably alongside you during your meal.

  • Vegetarian Parmi Option

    Vegetarians heading in for Wednesday parmi specials can opt for the grilled vegetarian parmi option served with a side of chips.
