When you’re chasing a night with energy, Beaufort Street delivers more.

Running through Mount Lawley and Inglewood, Beaufort Street is one of Perth's most vibrant strips for dining, culture, retail and nightlife.
Independent boutiques sit alongside wine bars, long-standing institutions and some of the city's most-loved dining spots, making it remarkably easy to spend an entire afternoon and evening here.
Here's how to spend an afternoon and evening soaking up the best of Beaufort Street.
Start with a little browsing
Take your time exploring Beaufort Street's independent shops and creative spaces. Browse the precinct's collection of independent boutiques, where fashion, gifts and homewares make it easy to discover something special.
Think beautiful ceramics, sculptural candle holders, coffee table books, heavenly fragrances and thoughtfully curated homewares at La Luna.
Or, a little further down the strip, Olivia & Grace is a gifting paradise. Whether you're hunting down the perfect present, obsessing over the latest Jellycat drop, or browsing Hommey homewares, stationery and lifestyle goodies, it's the kind of store that's impossible to leave empty-handed.
For those looking to add a little culture to the mix, the Inglewood Arts Hub showcases a rotating program of exhibitions, ensuring there's always something new to discover and another reason to return.
Bar Vino
Every good Beaufort Street night starts somewhere, and Bar Vino is the perfect place to ease into the evening.
Part neighbourhood wine bar, part Italian-inspired local favourite, it's where locals gather over a glass of wine and a few plates before the evening unfolds. Grab a seat beneath the character-filled red brick surrounds or settle into the beautifully designed interior. Either way, it's the sort of place that encourages good conversation, a glass of wine and a few shared plates before dinner.
The flatbread and burrata are a standout for sharing, especially when paired with a glass from Bar Vino's impressive Italian-focused wine list. Inspired by the Italian tradition of aperitivo, it's the ideal spot to pause between an afternoon of exploring and dinner plans.
Dinner at Testun
Warm, welcoming and full of character, Testun has earned its reputation as one of Beaufort Street's favourite neighbourhood dining spots, and it's easy to see why.
Start with the Black Angus tartare and a spiced margarita before settling into an evening of generous plates, great company and effortlessly warm Italian hospitality. The menu changes regularly, giving locals plenty of reasons to return and discover something new.
On any given evening you'll find a mix of locals, regulars and first-timers filling the room, creating the kind of atmosphere that makes Beaufort Street one of Perth's favourite places for a night out.
Curtain up at The Astor
Few buildings define Beaufort Street quite like the Astor Theatre.
From live music and comedy to touring performances and special events, the Astor Theatre has long been one of Perth's most beloved entertainment venues. Check what's on, take your seat and enjoy a night of live entertainment in one of the city's most iconic buildings.
Did you know? The Astor first opened as a picture theatre in 1919 and has been entertaining Perth audiences for more than a century. Today, it remains one of Western Australia's most recognised live performance venues and a cornerstone of Beaufort Street's cultural scene.
Finish on a sweet note
Before heading home, make one final stop at Pietro Gelateria.
Known for its small-batch artisan gelato and ever-changing selection of flavours, it's become something of a Beaufort Street ritual. Traditional favourites sit alongside more adventurous creations, making the choice of what to order one of the night's toughest decisions.
Grab a scoop or go all-in with a pistachio affogato before taking a final stroll along Beaufort Street. The strip is still humming, the conversations are still flowing, and you'll probably find yourself planning your next visit before you've reached the end of the block.
Few Perth precincts do an afternoon-into-evening adventure quite like Beaufort Street. When you're looking for a night with atmosphere, character and plenty happening, Beaufort Street delivers more.
More flavour. More soul. More vibes. More Beaufort Street.
