About Patio Bar

Tucked off Essex Street, this breezy open-air courtyard delivers chilled wines, spritzes, and tapas without an ounce of pretense. Freo locals settle in under the greenery with dogs stretched out across the floor—both indoors and out. The kitchen turns out thick house focaccia paired with olive oil, charred broccolini, and plates of charred brussels sprouts over smoked labneh. Depending on the night, you might stumble into live sets, local poetry readings, or DJs spinning house tracks while bartenders shake pisco sours.

  • Dog-friendly throughout: Pups are welcome throughout both indoor seating and the open courtyard.
  • Eclectic local line-ups: Evenings rotate across live musicians, house DJs, poetry sessions, and guest chef kitchen takeovers.
