Great institution. Big place with several seating areas. The booth seat was really comfortable.
Fantastic croquette and pumpkin honey smoked almond dip were exceptional.
Pub-style service
I have been here a few times now and the atmosphere is awesome. the first thing that got me was the great choice of music. Not over the top and everyone seemed to be enjoying it. The food is great with a good range over the menu. It is close to the train station and really close to the Arena, which makes it a great place for pre drinks/dinner. Market Grounds also has the option of the beer garden, inside and upstairs so there is plenty of space to chill and enjoy a few beverages with some mates.
Rate MG a 3.5 and up to a 4 when they are on point. Large with a great fit out, and perfect location straddling Perth and Northbridge, with very easy access to public transport and nightlife on either side, including the Arena and Yagan Square. Standard CBD prices for beer. I find most of the menu to offer quite good value, and having tried a few things, it is good pub grub! People need to remember, this is a pub, not a gourmet fine dining establishment. As far as pub food goes, it is well priced and tasty. Of course there are some teething issues, being such a LARGE new venue.
The place was very well designed. It was trendy but also sophisticated and had several areas to choose from. The food was actually really good! I ordered a burger and it was delicious. I went there twice, once for lunch and the other was for dinner.My sister had her birthday party there and no one complained about the food. We sat in the restaurant area.
Lovely ambience and warm, welcoming service on a Thursday evening! We enjoyed 3 hot dishes and a serve of sashimi between 2 people and found it was more than enough to fill our bellies. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented!
Went to the restaurant on a Friday night with friends - loved the vibrant atmosphere.
The food was amazing. I would recommend the potatoes with sheet cheese (delish) and the bombe alaska.
The evening was a little stilted - service was slow despite the restaurant not being overly busy and the staff clearly just having a chat amongst themselves.
Happy to put this down to teething problems - it was worth it for the food.
Came here for dinner with a large group on Saturday night. We ordered a table for 7pm and arranged for our mates to get there at 5pm for drinks. Let me just say the service was absolutely incredible. It was my boyfriends birthday and I rang in advance to check it was okay to have helium balloons and to bring a cake. They were soo accomodating. The cake was bought out after dinner and they liaised with me throughout the night. We asked that the food be all put on same bill and that people order drinks separate. Everything was just wonderful. Service, food... even the dance floor after dinner. I would highly recommend for a function or just drinks. Def worth a visit.
Long Lunch 10 July 2021
This was our first time trying the Long a lunch and weren’t disappointed.
Firstly the staff were fantastic. Very warm and friendly and efficient.
Secondly the food was delicious. A really good variety and plenty of it. I am shocked to admit that the Brussel Sprouts were incredible. Everything was nicely presented and did I mention- delicious.
Thirdly the drinks. The cocktails were so nice and way to easy to drink. I’m going to making those for friends. The staff were more than happy to get refills quickly and we were able to taste everything on offer on the menu.
Lastly the venue. Lovely. It’s a great spot with plenty of space and we had a booth for our group which was perfect. Great outside area for when the weather is more friendly. Plenty of paid parking a couple of minutes away.
Tickets were $69 each which I think was very good value. The theme and menu changes each time and I will definitely be going back.
Sorry my photos are terrible but you get the idea.
First time in market grounds! Pretty good atmosphere, bar staff and bouncers were all pleasant to talk to. Plenty of staff behind the bar's so not waiting long time to get served.
The food was not bad, and the selection of drinks was okay. I'd recommend Market Grounds if you haven't been before, definitely worth a visit.
Scott.
Went for bottomless baos for $35 that they were doing for Wednesdays in February. Was served by Phoenix who was super efficient, friendly and bubbly- explained the menu to is perfectly and made sure we were comfortable.
Selection of pork, tofu karaage, Korean spicy chicken and Lobster baos.
- Tofu karaage was quite good and well balanced with sauce.
- Pork belly bao was our favourite. Sauce was on the sweeter side but the baos balanced it well.
- Lobster was quite fishy but a little more in the lighter side. Not our favourite, but each to their own.
- Korean spicy chicken was exactly as described, delicious but occasionally some batches were spicier than others.
Overall awesome service, good food and nice vibes to hang out. Worth the bottomless baos. Apparently someone ate 16 baos in 2 hours! We ate 9 and were stuffed!
Admittedly I visited this place on a quiet Saturday afternoon.
Atmosphere of that time was laid back and casual.
Seemed a great place for groups of Females to dress up and head out for drinks with the Girls, before going out after to Northridge or Other Perth City 🌆 Night Life Venues.
Attended yesterday with friends for the Sipsip session Espresso Martini event.
Drinks were great,.food was also good. Special mention to Jade our waitperson who was friendly, welcoming and incredibly attentive. All in all a lovely afternoon 😊
Just wanted to give a 5 star review to our waiter CLAY. We recently visited for a Margarita sip session and Clay was our waiter. He was friendly and super efficient on the day, making sure our drinks and food were kept flowing. Thankyou Clay for the 5 star service!
10/10 for this venue! We recently hosted an engagement party and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Functions manager Teegan answered all of our questions quickly and was incredibly helpful in the function being a success.
We also want to make a mention of the staff on the evening, the bar staff were amazing! Helpful, friendly and fast. Waitstaff were the same, made extra effort to bee line to the ‘bride-to-be’ to ensure she stayed fed 😊
Overall, really really appreciate everyone and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend market ground to anyone looking for a function venue!
