The Charles Hotel

Great venue, awesome staff. Great food good atmosphere. The best live music venue - great night out at a great venue.

My workmates and I went here for a few drinks after work we found one or two glasses were not cleaned properly the prices average for perth but the venue was really nice and the staff were quick to take our orders all in all not to bad.

Ate here the weekend just gone. The new menu was actually great! The place really is trying to become more upmarket. Although the website looks like a mess from the 1990's. So we shared the whiting with chips ($28). Fairly expensive but very fresh, nicely served (if you ignore the weird large salad that consisted of garnishes not actual salad) and lovely flavour! The chips were really tasty, oddly enough. This is my local and I'll be back.

Approximate cost: $40

The comedy here on Thursday nights is fun and great value at $18 a head. You will get a laugh but it pays to check the lineup first as the comedians do repeat their sets a bit. The food is average pub food, but the bar service I have found to be always quick and friendly.

The menu here is fantastic! If you love your pub grub, the servings here are generous and the prices aren't over the top. I had pizza, and I think I could safely say it was one of the most well-cooked pizzas I've ever eaten. My brother had the pork belly and said it was great, and my mum gave the thumbs up to the steak with mushroom sauce. We stopped in for dinner before going to see a comedy show upstairs in the comedy lounge - so overall a great night!
