Rosie O’Grady

Went to Rosie o Grady after a gym session with a friend on a Tuesday night.
Service was warm and friendly, they had a special on the beers ($ 7.50 a pint).They also have a hamburger special at $ 10.
Live entertainment was being played with a musician just playing some music.
Had the chicken pizza for $ 18. It was very tasty, they used large pieces of chicken. They also offer Gluten free pizzas and vegetarian dishes. Considering the people that are now gluten free or vegetarian this is a winner. There are also more intimate booths in the dining area as well for a date night.
Rosie O Grady is definitely a winner. Its not a high class restaurant but nobody will complain if you end up there for the night.

Rosie O’Grady definitely embodies what it is to be an Irish pub.
When you want to go out and have a pint and a good chat this is definitely the place to come. It is lively enough to be exciting but casual enough where you can enjoy your drink and a bit of banter.
An Irish pub is always a good Irish pub when they have Irish people behind the bar, not to mention they have $ 8 pints of Guinness on a Friday night!

Bucolic place, perfect on tuesdays.
Good beer and dry chips.

This is the better of the two Rosies. This has a much more lively atmosphere & lots of events on in the hall next door which also converts in a disco/​nightclub on a Friday & Saturday night.
I have been here a few times & also attended the Bogan Bingo a couple of times which was hysterical.
This Rosies can get a little jam packed on the weekends & Paddy’s day is a nightmare as everyone Tom, Mick & Paddy wants to get in, so arrive early!
It definitely has the feeling of a proper Irish character pub with the layout, customers, live bands & great food. Chips & Curry is the dish of the day for me each time as it reminds me of 3am on a Saturday night heading home from somewhere (!!) & needing a feed of curried chips.

Bogan Bingo — Half Game show, half party… the slogan is so true!
We had such a fun time, laughed all night! Two hilarious hosts for the night — ‘Wazza’ as the DJ and ‘Feral Beryl’ as the Bingo Caller. Great music, jokes and competitions throughout the night!
Doors open at 7pm and game starts at 7.30pm and goes through to 9.30pm. We grabbed some dinner and a drink in the front bar at 6.30pm. Then you need to walk out of the bar and around the side for the entrance to the show. There is a bar and toilets in this room.
So if you want a fun night out and don’t mind a bit of swearing and crudeness, get your mates together and wear your flannel shirt, mullet, uggies or double pluggers!!!
It looks like the Bingo night has finished for the year but keep your eye out for next year. It’s usually on the last Thursday of each month!

here are quite a few comedy clubs in Perth, and I’ve always been a little sceptical about going as I thought they couldn’t be that funny and how awkward when you go and nooooone is laughing. I was wrong.
The Laugh Resort is held every Wednesday night at Rosie’s, with the entrance down the side street (not going through the main pub!). It’s held in a separate area of the pub, with full bar facilities (but no EFTPOS) and seating for about 20 – 30.
The night started out with some local amateur comedians, who were pretty funny, but not quite there yet. You really have to admire their courage, going up and standing in front of all these people who have paid to sit there and have you make them laugh all night must be so daunting. It’s great that comedy clubs like this exist, they get loads of practice and honest feedback aka if you’re not funny, you’ll know about it.
The MC was great, he engaged loads with the crowd, but thankfully missing us. I dislike crowd participating intensely. No idea why. But I’m just happy when it’s not me they’re talking to. Sit up the back though, and you’ll be pretty safe! Up the front? You’re a target!
They had a bit of a break and bought the headliners on, who were hilarious. I was crying at one stage I laughed so much! You can tell the value that experience and a natural affinity for the stage has — these guys were a step above the rest of them.
The drinks were well priced but don’t expect craft beers… It costs $ 15 to get in, doors open at 8pm and it starts at 8:30pm. There are chances for door prizes too so like them on Facebook, Twitter etc and a bar card could be yours! It’s a great night out for a bunch of mates, plenty of options around Northbridge for a feed beforehand, and there is parking very close by on James St.
I would definitely go again!

Ok I am still a little reluctant at giving Rosie’s 3 stars but I understand that maybe I was a little harsh (just a little). I never mentioned the food or the fact that it isn’t always Friday and Saturday night in Rosie’s. The food is normal fare in Perth but there is also the addition of the Irish Stew (served with fries though?) and a beef and guinness pie (also served with fries). They stick to their Irish routes offering 3 different types of potatoes and also a side order of soda bread.
I will admit that during the week when it is quiet, Rosie’s feels like home with sport on the TV, a pint on the bar and a packet of Hunky Dory’s in your hand.

Every time I come here it is rammed full of dickheads, it always feels like I have walked through the door and have been transported to another dimension where everyone has lost the ability to communicate the English language, cannot hear the English language, or comprehend the English language. Most punters in here basically struggle to stand in an upright position.
For some reason my mates love coming here and I always end up at Rosie’s, despite my nags and winging to go somewhere where (A) I don’t have to fight some drooling, eye bulging, forehead sweating bloke to get served and (B)I don’t have to push through breast flashing women to go to the loo.
The insane thing, is, is that I love pubs, I am at my happiest when I am in a pub, there is nothing more blissful than sitting down with a pint, chatting with a great group of friends, I just don’t like doing it in this one.

Whenever I visit a new city, I tend to check out their Irish pubs. Nothing like gulping down a good old Irish lagers with a warm plate of Irish stew.
Situated in the hipster suburb Northbridge, this bustling suburb is home to international cuisines, cafes, restaurants, bars and possibly the best nightlife spot in Perth.
Rosie seems to be a favourite hit with backpackers as there is a dedicated Tuesday night for all them t-​shirt classed and flip flops patrons.
With a wonderful Irish ambience, Irish live bands and good old Irish pub food, Rosie makes a delightful spot for all to take in a slice of Irish charm and perhaps luck!

When it comes to Irish Pubs, you either love them or love to hate them. I can’t say I’ve personally ever entered an Irish-​themed establishment and felt I’d encountered the pinnacle of sophistication, but whether or not you like the place depends entirely on your stamina, your liver function and acceptance of those who have more of both than you. It is for these reasons that I avoid Rosie’s, unless I’m in the mood for embracing my inner yobbo. If that’s the case, I’ll gladly pull up one of their endearingly rustic chairs and stay for an hour or two. But in all honestly, probably only before 8pm.
Rosie’s is best treated as an «in-​between» place of sorts. Perhaps the line is too long at La Cholita’s, but you want a drink and you’ve got a fiver to spare and are in the mood for some prime entertainment in the form of drunken travellers. Or maybe you just need to use the loo. Regardless, Rosie’s is one of those things you need to experience. Kind of like chicken pox.

Rosie O’Grady’s is a place that can be polarising. Some people enjoy the cosy, somewhat shambolic Irish pub, with its so-terrible-it’s-fascinating carpet design. Others deride it as a place for drunken yobbos. Neither perspective is entirely wrong — yes, Rosie O’Grady’s is not the classiest joint in Perth by a long shot, but whether that bothers you depends on your perspective, and how drunk you are.
Rosie O’Grady’s seems to be the place for happy drunks to congregate over pints of Guinness and Kilkenny [staple beers for anywhere proclaiming Irish influence]. So, the people at Rosie O’Grady’s tend to be rowdy, but in a friendly way. Which can hinder the ability to have a conversation with your friends, and you may find yourself attracting the attention of patrons wanting a drunken conversation.
Rosie O’Grady’s is not a bad place to start if you are planning to spend a night at Northbridge. They have some good beers and the service is quick. Whether you want to stay longer than an hour at the pub depends on how tolerant you are of drunken people repeatedly telling you how wonderful your hair or shirt is, for them.

As my friends are well aware, I’m a sucker for Irish men, it’s the accent, gets me everytime. So where would I go to find an Irish man? An Irish pub of course! It’s not the greatest pub you’ll ever go to, but there’s plenty of space to take a large group of friends and it’s not over your budget to go there. They serve you up Irish classics Guiness, Magners, Irish Stew and Beef and Guiness Pie, it does have a little of the leprechaun feel to it, but there’s not nearly enough potatoes on the menu to be completely convincing. It’s best at night time so the dim lights can cover the «well-​loved» furniture, and you are in Northbridge so you can head to a club for some dancing, out to a movie, or off for a coffee. Come St. Patricks Day though, you’ll be heading to Rosie’s for some Irish-​loving fun!

This is another one of those Irish bars that all the Irish people arriving in Perth from Ireland say they will stay away from, but they are guaranteed to end up here at least once within the first two weeks of their trip.
If ever these people were to listen to sound advice it would be to avoid this place as best they can. Every time you walk in here you see the same sorry old faces propping up the bar, drinking pints of Magners and eating curry made with McDonnell’s sauce like their Mammies used to make. It’s as if they moved to Perth so they can act more Irish than they would get away with at home.
The place is a shambles too. All the furniture is mismatched and looks like it was thrown out of a convent school twenty years ago. The clientele in here aren’t the most reserved — you’re likely to see a group of sunburnt lads jumping around shouting «I dreamed a dream by the old canal» and spilling their pints on the carpeted floor (which smells worse than you are already imagining).
Avoid.
