Great views overlooking the city, with a fantastic atmosphere. Nice cocktails and very good service. It is a great starter to any night out on the town.
Decided to venture up to Bobs Bar before dinner at Apple Dailys and was surprised that at 645 on a Saturday this place was dead. What a great, vibrant spot in the city the cocktails were amazing and the food looked good also, such a chilled out atmosphere and environment and the staff were helpful. Will defiantly be back!!
Omg the cocktails up here are epic. Flowers and all. The food is fast and delicious. A great place for a lunch function. Slightly windy in the afternoon
My type of bar open roof, views of the city ,nice atmosphere ,funky music and reasonable priced drinks , happy for the pints of mountain goat, this bar I would surely visit again and recommend to friends, when entering skip the expensive high maintenance sister print hall and come visit Friendly Bob's bar !!!
How did I not know this existed? I pass it every day and only needed to look up!
By the time I'd climbed the three flights of stairs the office BS was forgotten. Ah, fresh air.
Bob's - best rooftop bar in Perth and my favourite spot for an end of week beverage. While other bars are packed to the rafters, and everyone needing to lip read or fake it, this place was busy in a good way. No pretensions, friendly staff and not a tie in sight despite the ultra conservative offices on either side.

Bob's Bar is a pretty cool place. Perched high on a building in the business district of Perth it's rooftop location gives it a sense of space and openness that goes beyond its actual size. It's popular too. If you're a bit shy on four flights of stairs there is a lift around the corner. We dropped by for a pre-dinner drink and found it a great place on a balmy evening with plenty of atmosphere.
I love Bob's Bar! We've been here SO often, almost every time we want a drink in the city we immediately think of Bob's Bar. Such a great atmosphere and always fantastic beers and ciders on tap. An absolute winner of a place, cannot recommend enough!
Great place for a drink in summer and reasonably priced. Fun atmosphere and a few new drinks to try ! Being as pale as I am I appreciate when a rooftop bar has plenty of shade and the mist hose was a definite plus! (we went on a 40 degree day)

Wandering through the city on Saturday looking for a late lunch with the wife. We wanted something in the sun to make the most of the cracking spring weather we were having and decided (rather randomly) to pop up to Bob's Bar.
Well, we certainly got our sun. And we also got a great guy (with beard) behind the bar who was super accommodating, recommending some refreshingly tasty ciders and then giving us a handy rundown of their new menu. We ended up ordering the corn bread with maple butter (yummmmmm), deep fried chicken (we went back and ordered more of this), chorizo and prawn risotto something (good kick of chilli), and then some cinnamon donut style dessert with a rum/vanilla dipping sauce (oh God, this was out of control good).
All of this while kicking back on the rooftop in the CBD as window cleaners abseiled down the highrise building above us. It was the perfect chilled pitstop and would've certainly stayed on for the DJ if we didn't have to return to reality and pick up our toddler from his grandparents!
Thanks for making our arvo, Bob!
Having been here rain-cum-shine, Bob's is definitely best when the sun is kissing your skin! I guess I'm biased as I've celebrated a birthday here and have fond memories.
Long Island iced teas are a bit of a hit and miss though, depending on who makes it. The food is typical pub grub, nothing to rave on about.
It's a missed opportunity given that it's one of the best rooftop bars in Perth. Granted the view isn't that amazing compared to 1-Altitude in Singapore (the world's tallest rooftop bar) but the vibe of this place is chilled house, perfect on summer evenings :-)
What a great place to kick back and enjoy a drink after work - decked out so that even though it's open rooftop it felt intimate but not crowded. Didn't get around to trying the food although there were some tempting plates and lovely aromas wafting by, so intend to do so next time.
Went here for a rooftop gig a little while ago and was really impressed by their cocktails and tapas menu. Never been before and probably wouldn't of gone unless going to this gig but will be back in the summer!!
Not a $ restaurant. Terrific food. But this is not a cheap '$' venue, it should be listed as '$$' or '$$$' because portion sizes are tiny. Great beer range.
What all good bars should be!. Went here for drinks with mates. Excellent service, love how they come to you for orders, the food was fantastic for a small bar - great value and great size portions. So often bars neglect to provide good, cheap food, this place nails it. Oh and they make the best sangrias in town! Love it, will be back!
Not cheap but a good place for a late night drink.. Ended up here after our anniversary dinner at Shiro. A great place for an after dinner drink. A bit expensive but the staff are friendly and know their stuff when it comes to mixing cocktails. And the variety of stuff available is excellent. Had a very pleasant hour.
Lovely venue and I like the Asian themed food but some tasty chips would not go astray!
Nice, Relaxed, Chilled. Great snack/daytime meeting place
Bob Hawke in Fact!. A rooftop terrace named after Australia's third-longest serving Prime Minister, Bob Hawke. This bar sits at the top level of the Print Hall building above the Apple Daily Bar and Eating House, off St Georges Terrace. The drink selection is decent and the atmosphere is pretty cool and trendy.
This place is a refreshing and welcome addition to the bar scene in Perth and adds a more classy alternative to another particular rooftop bar that offers stunning views ... of Target.
The service here is pretty decent and the drinks were all reasonably priced and quite tasty. I will be back in future for certain. Definitely a cool place to check out if you haven't already.
Great for drinks..... We loved the drinks on a hot Sunday afternoon after shopping. Bob's is a nice place to spend time.
but the food prices - $8.50 for a thin little sausage in bun about the size of a scone.!!!! Bunnings do it better. Bob Hawke would be shocked that the workers are being taken subjected to such outrageous treatment from the ruling classes.
Seriously, Bob’s is a fantastic location, lovely fitout, great staff and cold, cold drinks but eat before you go there and you’ll have a great time.
Great inner city bar. What a great bar and the perfect end to our Australia Day, after watching the fireworks we were after a relaxed casual atmosphere and that is what we found at Bobs bar! Great service and drinks, good sparkling/champagne menu. Finally a place where you can have a drink in a comfortable environment. Good job! A place we can bring our international visitors :)
Nice outlook. Staff could serve
food with a Serviette and something to pick at the food with, or you'll be left oily handed. Could the flavours need fine tuning perhaps? It started sprinkling rain and magically a roof started covering our heads thankfully! Overall not bad.
Fantastic for Tapas or light meal. Excellence in service and a magic addition to Perth bar scene.
First time at Bob's Bar on a Sat arvo and loved it! Very Melbournesque. Great rooftop setting amongst the city buildings. Tasty tapas food and drinks. Service impeccable, want for nothing!
Bobs Bar is part of the Brookfield Place development, on St Georges Terrace. It’s found at the top of a newspaper lined staircase, on the Print Hall rooftop. We love a rooftop bar, Perth is perfect for them. There are lots of places to sit and relax amongst the towering skyscrapers. The original neon “West Australian Newspapers” sign is huge and looks amazing when light up at night. There are many nods to the bars roots; printing and its namesake ex-Prime Minister Bob Hawke. Even the bar menu includes the ‘Blanche’ and ‘Hazel’ hotdogs (after his wives!). And there is another neon sign – of Bob’s infamous quote “Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum”, which he said after the historic Australian victory in the 1983 America’s Cup. This was a summer favourite of mine. It gets very busy; I wasn’t a fan of queuing precariously on the staircase. It was worth the wait though - Bob’s is the perfect place for a Pimms (or two!) AFTER work!! ‘Nuff said!
Bob's Bar is the rooftop bar above Print Hall and is named after former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke. The drinks are somewhat over-priced as is most of the stuff in this development but that doesn't mean it’s not a great space to have a drink in and catch up with friends.
On top of Print Hall you will find Bob’s Bar... a tribute to the Australian Prime Minister, Bob Hawke. This simple little bar sits on the roof, has a nice collection beers, simple bar food (you have to try the pork belly) and friendly, chilled and nice staff! Just had a quiet beer here but enjoyed watching the colour of the city change as the sun set. This is a fun place... would recommend a visit!
Cool little spot with a great concept and great location. Serving sizes from the bar menu are also extremely generous!
Only downside I would give it is that it gets pretty windy up there
Bob's is a great spot. Just be warned that it can be windy. If it is too much upstairs try one of the of bars down stairs.
Had a great weekend in perth.. friendly staff, good beer & pizza :) sure would be back next time ^^
Great location and a couple of taps that are always rotating beers. Gets very busy on a Friday night but in general its quite comfortable numbers-wise. Keep in mind it's a rooftop bar so if it's hot, cold, windy or wet it can be uncomfortable.
Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner. Good selection of beers, delicious cocktails and friendly, efficient staff. It's a lovely little spot to enjoy a bevvy.
Recently caught up with friends for drinks at Bob's and had a great night. The cocktails are amazing and the food was pretty good too.
Fantastic but need a lift stairs was a killer I'm not as young as i think i am lol . very nice rooftop drinking place food looked good too but we didn't eat this time.
