I was there late Thursday arvo I think, around 5pm. There were a few people there but we found a table without any hassles. Was a good experience and I am looking forward to going again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814738198526107844.post-26446787044957032952010-08-21T00:09:42.561+08:002010-08-21T00:09:42.561+08:00Dont bother with this place, Unless you are firmly...Dont bother with this place, Unless you are firmly seated outside dont even look at your drink as you will ejected for street drinking! very odd since it didnt look like a street. The bar staff were very arrogant, dont make an effort to tell you prices or even friendly conversation. I Think the worst part about the place is it does have so much going for it like decor, style and drink offerings however staff are all appauling with the exception of the bouncer!

That's not to say that it's terrible that you enjoy Universal, just that Ezra is trying to do something a bit different. Perth needs more diversity; slick bars that are suit-friendly are not exactly in short supply in and around the CBD. <br /><br />Also Fat Yak isn't a lager, it's a pale ale, and it's pretty good. http://www.matildabay.com.au/our-beer/fat-yakMatt Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821066673560754150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814738198526107844.post-39584585370855251522010-07-04T18:16:21.022+08:002010-07-04T18:16:21.022+08:00tried this place the other friday...what a dump. t...tried this place the other friday...what a dump. the range of beers is disgusting, god forbid you walk in amongst the student types straight from work in a suit. It was made very clear we weren't welcome. the few beers they have are a joke, "fat yak lager" and "melbourne green" god forbid. one of the girls with us had a cosmopolitan, it looked like a cosmo but it was very strange. the "art" under the pool table (a tampon, some porn and a chinese take away menu) might be "art" at tafe, but was really offensive. we left after two drinks before the wanna be "bohemians" had a heart attack from thinking all guys in suits are police......if you want a decent cocktail in northbridge go to universal or bar 399, not this dingy holeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814738198526107844.post-89167628539837958982010-06-30T21:08:13.375+08:002010-06-30T21:08:13.375+08:00Rocked up at about 10:30 on a Friday night, had to...Rocked up at about 10:30 on a Friday night, had to queue up but it was worth it. The two bouncers outside made the wait seem insignificant! Good conversation. They let me and my group of 4 girls in as soon as the right amount had left. Though the only drawback of the whole night was one bouncer or something who yelled at us for standing in the outside seating area. I was inside ordering for my friends, when the guy yells at them for standing outside when they didn't have drinks, saying he had already told them that they weren't allowed (mind you this was our first time here, and he was yelling at us as if he had told us earlier that night, which he hadn't). They were shocked, and apologized and stood inside with me. We did stand around for quite a while because the place was packed! They had good drinks (our group had a mixture of beer and cocktail drinkers, and I found that they stocked one of my favorite beers too so i was a plus, Can't beat Monteiths)We eventually found a spot, and settled in there for the rest of the night, all in all a good night. Not much a NB goer myself, but I'd venture there for this place. Going back very soon definitely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814738198526107844.post-66923966622025683422010-03-21T00:19:00.262+08:002010-03-21T00:19:00.262+08:00Love the place...

As we're walking away the main man (bouncer) made a few comments. I asked to take a photo of his badge number... My phone was thrown on the floor. I picked it up and observed the damage. I then again tried to take a photo (baring in mind this was a public space and I had not laid a finger on the guy). Phone was thrown on the floor again! He then started to push me, clearly looking for a fight... I declined, picked up my phone and left. Can't wait until his badge is revoked. Nice place. Must agree with Matt C. Just a pity "others" (no fingers... Follow my eyes... The bouncer is a TWAT!)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675967744993377131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814738198526107844.post-3174151894205338652010-01-13T14:43:45.711+08:002010-01-13T14:43:45.711+08:00No idea, sorry!

However, if you want to criticise the staff by name then please have the guts to use your full name too, and keep your comments relevant rather than personal.
