This eclectic little venue is hidden away in the city with excellent cocktails and friendly staff. They used to do cheap pizzas on a Thursday when you bought $20 worth of drinks, but they seem to have stopped that. To be honest, the one time I did get the cheap pizza it was pretty ordinary but I think that may have been a bad night.

Been here a few times. Like the buzz. Have had chicken pizza and couple of other things. They are reasonably good. Nice small bar in a CBD lane way.

During the day Cheeky Sparrow offers coffees and simple lunches but at night, it throws off its conservative cloak and becomes an intriguing, quirky, little Perth bar. The entrance is hidden from view down Wolf Lane, a nondescript alleyway off Murray Street. Only a few steps off a bustling main road of the CBD, the dim lighting and visible timber roof beams makes you feel as though you’ve entered another era.

Every weekday morning I get a coffee and bagel deal for $10. The coffee is consistently great and the girls remember my order every time. The bagel is awesome with bacon egg and hollandaise toasted, can't go wrong

Cheeky Sparrow is one of my all time favourite small bars in the city, the atmosphere is generally unpretentious and relaxing. Recently, I had an early morning commitment in the city and thought I would take the opportunity to float  by Cheeky Sparrow, hoping it would be a good morning cafe as it is a small bar in the evenings.

Nicely set out I've never been here for the bar setting, only for breakfast. And it suits what I like - no cooked or heavy food, just bagel/muffin/muesli type of food prepared simply and well. Coffee is good, albeit in smaller cups than expected (welcome to Perth). The daily muffin selection always sounds delicious, but the use of M&Ms or Maltesers means that the outer chocolate often tastes burnt. Overall though, a really funky and enjoyable place without the rush.

A couple of weeks ago I had lunch at Cheeky Sparrow with a few friends. Cheeky Sparrow is a mixture of a cafe and a bar and it is the most chilled out place to kick back and relax with a cocktail or a beer or a glass of whiskey or whatever you feel like drinking. They serve a wide variety of food that's meant to be shared, but fear not if you're not the sharing type, I did see a couple of one person meals like burgers and whatnot! The four of us decided to order pizzas as it was half price off Wednesday, which is seriously worth it if you're on a tight budget. I ended up paying around five dollars for the pizza when we split the bill. I shared a vegetarian pizza with a friend while the boys opted for a soy chicken pizza (according to them it was delicious!). The pizza we ate had roasted pumpkin, rocket, goats cheese and caramelised onions, it was huge, pretty and so delicious. My friend also had a espresso martini which I had a sip of, it was so good, I kind of wish I ordered one! It was smooth with a strong kick of coffee and chilled making it somewhat refreshing. I hoping to go back real soon, I love places like this, good food and drinks with a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

Great spot for an after work drink that isn't too noisy. Book a booth if you can. They have a nice Tempranillo by the glass and cocktails are yummy. We shared some pizza the soy chicken had a bit too much soy but the pumpkin goats cheese one was oh so good! The girl that served us was really good :-)

great decor, lovely location and good food. portions and quality are on point for what you pay for. i love their half price pizza tuesdays because their pizzas are interesting (with the combinations of toppings) and delicious. i'll knock off a star though because the cocktails weren't very good. they were too strong, literally felt like i was taking a shot with every sip. otherwise it's one of my favorite perth cbd hangout spots. it's a great place to unwind that serves consistently good food!

A group of nine dined here and had the half price pizza on Wednesdays. We had such great service from the waitress (Katie or Zoe I think the name was). Anyway, the pizzas tasted delicious and the service was so great. Thanks for making our evening enjoyable.

Nice atmosphere but grumpy staff. We were situated upstairs for a private function last night, reasonably priced drinks slightly slow service but there was quite a few patrons and only 2 bar staff. The atmosphere is nice but there was one staff member that really hates his job. Kicking the kitchen door with all his might, physically pushing through people, being incredibly rude, kicked the door so hard it hit the back of my friends head which has left a nasty mark (he did apologise but maybe should have offered some ice) Definitely get that It is very small and cramped upstairs however there will always be people near the kitchen door due to this fact, but he was soooo rude that a whole group of people left very irritated. Not sure we will go back as there are other similar bars out there with less angry staff.

Despite what previous reviews have stated about the staff, we found the service to be outstanding. We ordered drinks which came quickly and then a share plate. We then placed another food order and were offered fresh plates which were not necessary but showed the attention to detail shown by the staff here. There was a fabulous, Friday night atmosphere with a DJ playing downstairs. It was dark, loud and fun. We'll be back.

Great Odin's Raven: A Royal Flush.. As we haven't heard enough about the "Royal Baby" this week, a royal flavour will be weaved into the fabric of this review by using a royal-family-member rating system for various elements of the experience.

Ambiance: Prince Harry
Not so much the ginger elements, more the non-conventional decor which is strangely alluring. The setting is cheekier than an episode of the biggest loser and provides a fantastic setting in which to escape the hustle and bustle and/or headlines about the royal baby.

Customer Service: Prince William.
Handsome, regal and likable. Both gentlemen who served us were good lads. A special mention goes to the barista who is known to this reviewer - he knows his way around group heads, ground beans and espresso shots of happiness like few others.

Blend: "Fergie" - Duchess of York.
The blend produced a Fergie-like flavour: thick, heavy at the bottom end and leaves an after taste in your mouth that you're unlikely to forget. It was a dark, chocolatey roast with a hint of Princess Beatrice (bitterness) that accentuated the flavour unlike any that I've tried recently.

Double Espresso Quality: The King (Elvis, of course)
Smooth. Only the most suspicious mind could find fault in what I was served.

Rating: 16.5 crown jewels out of 20. To say that the Cheeky Sparrow does not produce some of the best coffee in town would be more controversial than if the royal baby grew up with an uncanny physical resemblance to Prince Harry.

Chilled. This place has a great look and relaxed vibe. The booth seating is great for groups while there is also plenty of table and stools around also. The music creates a chilled atmosphere and its easy to sit back and get lost in conversation or the papers for an hour or two. The lights are a feature, check them out overhead when you walk in.
The coffee was reasonable but a minor drawback was they only have one size for those wanting to dine in.
I could see this place being very inviting come nighttime with its full bar.
In short: chilled, classy and welcoming

Not just for drinks. great place to catch up for lunch too. I usually get the freshly squeezed juice of the day and a salad or pizza to share. Great flavours and great place to just chill. Usually find myself wanting to just stay the entire afternoon after Friday lunch.

Do it for the pizza!. We were hanging at Wolf Lane pretty early on a Saturday night before a gig. Pretty quiet with heaps of reserved tables. Staff were super friendly, but slow behind the bar. Music was good but needed to be louder. The pizza was incredible! Will go back just for the food.

I have to agree with th West's review 2 weeks ago where the service amongst other things was a real letdown . There's a guy that serves drinks in the afternoon that's a real turn off. Totally disinterested in the customer & looks a bit bullish.

Well popped in here for a light lunch and I was very impressed. Lucky for me my friend also likes the whole potato on pizza thing (carb on carb) so we enjoyed this and a melon, grape and feta salad.

Bit of a let down. I really wanted to really love this place. Hidden down a little lane way, with funky decor and very friendly waitstaff it made a very good start. I ordered the chicken with salsa verde panini but with GF bread instead of panini. It was quite dry and felt like it needed some cheese or something else gooey like avocado to bring the flavors all together, although this may have been because I chose to substitute with GF bread. The other issue was the overwhelming amount of garlic added, heading back to my conference I was scared for any poor delegate that was going to be stuck sitting next to me in my stink. This place has oodles of potential, it just needs some tweaks in the kitchen before I can recommend it.

Lunch in the city over a glass of wine. Cheeky Sparrow ticks all the boxes: varied menu ranging for $12 for a panini to $22 for a crab salad with sone interesting share platters at around $30 and a selection of pizzas. Wine menu had a nice selection of local and imported wines. Really enjoyed this place and will certainly be back to check it out for after work drinks.

A bar with everything you want. I accidentally stumbled down and found this bar...
It was a Tuesday night and it was just the right amount of people - perfect ambience, lighting, quiet enough to have a chat but groovy background music. Not only did the bar scream cool but it had impeccable service. The lady who served us knew lots about the wines and recommended foods to go with them. We had the Rose as it was an appetiser before we headed to dinner however the plates to share looked AMAZING. i can't wait to go back there and share a cheese board or a vegeterian plate for 2 and steer clear of the trash that you often see in the city. A touch of Melbourne down a laneway in Perth - Love it, and i will be back very soon.

Another hidden wonder of Perth alleyway bars, the Cheeky Sparrow is a goodlooking choice. The fitout is great (especially if you can get a booth), the staff are friendly and attentive, the food is good quality and well done, the menu including brunch (I had the vegetarian baked eggs and they were spot on), 'boards' (such as antipasto board or cheese board), and paninis, and the coffee is really good (but pricey) - and this is just during the day. No doubt it will become packed from 5pm! The best part (for me) is they cater for gluten intolerant and vegetarian!!

When you order, they just take a dish off the bar and give it to you, provided it hasn’t already gone. That did happen to a few people, so we had to settle on other choices.

Lovely place with great staff and a nice setting. The banh mi pizza was great and they have some very delicious cocktails that were half price while we were there. Not sure if the cocktails are simply a bit less alcoholic than expected or if the half price ones were different in that regard, but it was a bit strange to only be very mildly buzzed after having 4 of them within an hour.
