A night out in Perth can be expensive and boy do we know it. So for those of you simply wanting to crack open a cold one with the boys without breaking the bank - look no further. Here's a list of five Perth bars where you can enjoy an affordable pint at $9 or less.
The Oxford Hotel
Where: 368 Oxford Street, Leederville, Perth, WA
When: Thursdays, all day.
If the Oxford’s self-proclaimed “modern sophisticated rustic charm” isn’t enticing enough for you, the hotel offers a huge menu and almost daily specials.However, their best offerings would have to be on Thursdays, when you can grab a $8 pint from noon onwards, from any tap of your choice – truly a happy day. And if you’re looking for a meal with that, $8 fish and chips boxes are available at the bar from 5:30 pm until they’re sold out. The Oxford on a Thursday is the place to be.
Durty Nelly’s
Where: Shafto Lane, 397 Murray St, Perth, WA 6000
When: Monday – Friday, 5pm to 6pm.
Durty Nelly's is a beautiful traditional Irish pub and perhaps Perth’s first and only, given its history. Having been designed and built up from the ground in Ireland (by Irish architects and with Irish materials), the pub was disassembled and moved to Perth years ago. Happy hours here take place from 5pm to 6pm, from Monday through to Friday.
Indulge in the gorgeous décor and grab a refreshing pint of Guinness, Kilkenny or Magners for just $9. Or if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, $7 house spirits, glasses of house wine and sparkling.

Indulge in $10 cocktails, 30% off all wine selections and, best of all, $8 pints. If you can’t make the 5:30pm – 6:30pm window, don’t fret. Every Wednesday there are $8 pints on offer all day long.
