Mrs Brown

Great venue for some quiet drinks with friends! funky venue and lovely outdoor areas (with blankets if it gets chilly). love the burgers and chips from Flipside next door delivered to your table in Mrs Brown :)

If this place was closer to home I would be a resident wine-​sipper here!
The only thing that bugs me about this place is the North Freo location… But I like North Freo and all it has to offer, it just doesn’t suit my geographical needs hehe.
I am no interior designer, but I just kept thinking the window could do with a big heavy drape or something to cosy-​fy the place as I felt it seemed ‘cold’ and ‘stark’.
But the place is nice — drinks list is expansive, and the variety of seating options, including an outdoor beer garden, is a plus!

I really do love this litte bar, the only down side to it is the distance it is from my house!
Situated in Queen Victoria Street alongside Mojo’s and Flipside Burgers, Mrs Brown in my opinion is one of the best low key catch up options around. It is quiet in the early/​mid afternoon but starts to fill up around 5.30−6.00pm.
Walk in grab a drink and a seat and then order a burger from Flipside Burger to then be delivered to your table! They also have a small selection of nimblies avaliable at reasonable prices if you don’t feel like a burger.
Cosy indoor seating is avaliable and there is also a back courtyard area with blankets avaliable to keep you warm in the cooler weather.
In case you are a first timer the drinks menu is hidden in the Golden Books which are displayed on the counter and boasts a broad selection of local beer/​cider and Australian wine, as well as some more exotic choices.
A great option in winter as well with a roaring fire alight in the second room area, but you will need to be early if want to secure this seating.

Great little wine bar. Cute court yard wirh fireplace lit in winter. Order burgers from next door at flipside and they deliver to you at wine bar. Casual dressy. Great for a date or catching up with friends. Love love love the light above the bar.

We were first told about Mrs Brown some years ago in hushed tones like it was a Masonic ritual hall or something. And its like Solomon’s, you walk past it five times before you notice it.
Now we spend every other Sunday afternoon either here or at Clint Nolan’s funky Who’s your mumma at the other end of Freo. And if you have been to both you will know why.
Why do I give it five stars? It’s rare to find bars managed so well and yet are unpretentious, warm and friendly.
Owned by Flipside franchise, its a recipe for how to manage success and benefit from same. Go there…

My first experience at Mrs browns… and I loved it…
YES I was there on a Wednesday night, so it was lovely and quiet and was able to enjoy great wine and the banter of my friends. …
I will say, however, I can understand it would be busy on Saturday.. that is the sign OF A GREAT BAR!!! For me, it is what it is…
So… Mrs Browns you will continue to be my mid week bar… on weekends I will save you for the drunken youth of Perth!!! Those who won’t appreciate your fantastic wine and awesome atmosphere, as they are too self absorbed in their own importance!!!

Bit busy on a Saturday but this bar is on point! I love the lighting and ambiance. You can also borrow blankets!

I so desperately want to give Mrs Brown 5 stars but I can’t.
This little wine bar in North Freo is absolutely delightful. The best bar in Perth to drop in midweek for a quiet drink of wine. It’s lowlit and just peaceful. There are a few on trend items like children books covers on the wine lists and secondhand kitsch items adorning the shelves.
However on the weekends this is a place I avoid like the plague. The quiet atmosphere that lends itself to intimate conversation is replaced by LOUD one upmanship banter and a younger crowd seeking to outdo one another in their expertise of wine. Getting a drink during this time requires patience and an acceptance that you will suffer temporary hearing loss.
It is the loss of a quiet wine bar on weekends that I cannot give Mrs Brown 5 stars. I love that it’s popular and it stays in business but all I want is a quiet wine bar.

This is a little gem just south of N Freo station. I love the wine list and the atmosphere inside. There’s a garden at the back with additional toilets (always handy!).
You can buy the burgers from Flipside next door and eat them at Mrs Brown both inside and out. It’s a bit retro and the menu looks like the outside of the Little Golden Books for kids which is kinda cool and different. Come here with a group of friends or just a few of you, you won’t be disappointed.

Mrs Brown is this cool little wine bar in North Freo next to Flipside burgers. Its location perfectly reflects its retro vibe being surrounded by antique stores and the old area.
Targeting an older crowd the bar itself is fairly dimly lit but is furnished beautifully. The fireplace gives it a terrifically warm feel, not just literally. The music was so good I actually thought it was a playlist from my iPhone, loved life.
When I was there the girl I was with asked for the bartenders opinion of a good wine and he was a lad allowing her to taste a handful before picking. They also have scrabble to keep you entertained, however we wont talk any further about that…

On quiet afternoons and lazy midweek nights, Mrs. Brown is one of the best bars in Perth. Their wine list is pricey but you’re guaranteed to be drinking great wine and the bar staff are friendly and relaxed. The décor is a classy twist on second-​hand chic, very much in keeping with the emerging style of this entire North Fremantle strip. On weekends, this place turns into whatever the over-​25 equivalent is of a mosh pit is; getting a drink from the bar becomes an exercise in long waiting, it’s next to impossible to find a place to sit and it’s LOUD. This really only highlights the popularity of this place and how good it is, but if you’re not in the mood for a crowded bar, maybe head elsewhere. So long as you pick your time though, this is a great place for a quiet drink.

A cosy little wine bar that caters to the 25+ crowd, Mrs Brown wins me over for the warm lighting, the range of wines and the fact that you can take your burger in from next door. There’s a great seating area out back and lots of tables and couches to get comfy on with your pals. A perfect joint for catch-​ups of the more intimate, heartfelt variety. It gets busy on a Friday night though so expect to be standing (and potentially meeting someone of interest, you never know). Great locale as well with Harvest across the road, and Flipside and Mojos in close company. I like the unpolished floorboards.

Quite the retro little wine bar sitting with the very popular Flipside burgers and Mojo’s bar. One bonus of its location? You can order a Flipside burger and eat it in the wine bar.
As a wine bar, it does tend to waver on the side of expensive but that is understandable as you are drinking expensive and specially selected wines.
I am a big softy for board games aswell and the option to sit with your drink and have a game of scrabble is quite attractive.
It is a considerable distance from the hussle of Fremantle whcih makes it a hidden little gem.
A great afternoon, evening or night.

During my first visit to Mrs Brown I felt much like a modern day Jane Eyre, walking along the creaking floorboards, not knowing what was lurking on the upper or lower levels of the venue. Luckily I didn’t find a mental Mrs Mr. Rochester, instead I discovered lots of nice little nooks for you to tuck yourself away into. Ideal for some one-​on-​one time with your lover or catching up and gossiping over big glasses of sav blanc with your girlfriends.
Being a wine bar the crowd is more mature than the neighbouring bar Mojos, averaging 30 years of age plus. What’s also great about Mrs Brown is that you can buy a juicy burger from Flipside next door and then bring it to Mrs Brown so you can indulge in a nice glass to red to compliment your cheeseburger, genius!

Initially intrigued by the Mrs Brown mascot (a very unconventional Victorian lady with a motorcycle helmet), Mrs Brown is considered one of Fremantle’s best little wine bars. After opening only recently, it’s popularity has grown at a phenomenal rate seeing as it relies purely on word of mouth and has a limited web presence. And like its very original and slightly post-​modern poster lady and lack of advertising, so too is the whole experience at Mrs Brown a little unexpected and full of neat little surprises. Tucked away in North Fremantle next to Flip Side burgers (which will deliver to Mrs Brown if you ask — score!) and a few doors down from Mojo’s Bar, Mrs Brown is great for a relaxing evening over a glass of wine with some good old friends.
The first thing to do is find yourself a nice comfy set of couches and pull up a game of Scrabble. Don’t be confused by the lack of menus — they’re actually inside the vintage books. Enid Blyton has never been so delicious! They don’t have a cocktail list but will make one if requested, and of course if your bartender is talented enough. Wine is available by the glass, but expect to pay around $ 10+, and around $ 16 for a cocktail. They also serve tapas and nibblies, but getting a burger from Flip Side is a whole part of the Mrs Brown experience so don’t feel rude bringing in dinner from elsewhere.
The feel inside is rather homely, complete with book cases of hard-​backed literature, a cosy fireplace which gets going in the colder months, lots of comfy old sofas to lounge about in, lots of mismatched lamps and framed pictures. Slightly feels like the home of a crazy old aunt rather than a wine bar.
I’d say Mrs Brown is definitely more suited to the 25+ crowd. It’s got an intimate and romantic kind of vibe that younger party animals might mistake for lack of atmosphere. I love this place and think it’d be great for a first date!
