Book NowAbout The Lucky Shag
Perth locals know "The Shag" best as the sun dips over the Swan River, nursing cold pints right out on the timber jetty. Settle along the open-air deck as live acoustic sets kick off across the water. Regulars often lean toward the saucy pulled pork pizza or crisp fish and chips paired with a cold peach spritz. Up front, screens track the day's matches, while out back, the river breeze and blankets take care of the evening chill.
- Waterfront Deck & Jetty Views: Perched directly over the Swan River with open-air deck seating looking out toward South Perth.
- Live Music on the Verandah: Acoustic performers and bands set up outside on the water-facing terrace across weekends and select evenings.
- Game-Day Sports Viewing: Front sports bar setup streaming live fixtures across screens, even extending into the amenities.

Pulled Pork Pizza
The pulled pork pizza was a delightful combination of flavors. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a great base for the toppings. The pulled pork was tender and juicy.
