The CBD and Northbridge
Wine Merchant in the State Buildings, on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street, is central and smart. Mechanics Institute, a small rooftop bar off William Street in Northbridge, is the more laid-back choice for a first drink.
The club side
Infusions in Belmont, about 7 km east of the CBD, is an invite-only swingers club with on-site parking and regular hours through the week; check its own site for current nights and how invitations work. Our page on swingers parties covers private events too.
Coast and country
Cottesloe, Scarborough and Fremantle give the city its beach side, Rottnest Island is a ferry ride away and the Swan Valley wine region is close by. Any of them turns a good first drink into a weekend.
