About L'Chaim Bar

Slip behind a faux library bookcase beneath the Old Synagogue to find Fremantle's tucked-away speakeasy. Vintage velvet booths, candlelight, and a crowd singing along around the upright piano set a relaxed, retro tone. The team behind the stick tailors bespoke pours on the fly—from classic blood and sands to WA cocktail award winner Pére Julio—even serving a fresh glass of water beside every order.

  • Bookcase Entrance: Step through a concealed library bookcase beneath the Old Synagogue to access the subterranean room.
  • Custom Mixology: Bartenders tailor bespoke drinks to individual tastes, including the award-winning Pére Julio.
  • Live Piano Nights: Acoustic piano sessions draw communal singalongs across classic tunes without drowning out table conversation.
