Oh my bays! The Bayswater Hotel is back and bigger than ever!

As people’s habits continue to change in the work-from-home era, we are increasingly looking for the finer things in life, such as socializing, good food, cold pints, a little closer to home.

This means that the humble neighborhood pub is becoming more important than ever as a place where local people gather, and any redevelopment of that pub must be done with their interests in mind.

And one of the best in the business in this regard is family-owned hospital group LocalsCo (The Rose Hotel, Subiaco Hotel), so when they began their $7 million renovation of the Bayswater Hotel, we knew it was in good hands.

As Bayswater itself continues to grow and become one of Perth’s most diverse suburbs, it needed a pub that could grow with it while maintaining a connection to the local community, and that’s what you’ll find in the new look Basie’s.

There’s something going on there too – along with a completely refurbished bottle shop complementing the existing 40-room motel now located on the railway line in one of Perth’s busiest transport hubs, inside you’ll find (take a deep breath):

• Extended beer garden with giant 5m x 3m outdoor screen;
• Huge sports bar with two outdoor areas;
• Electronic darts, pool table, TAB;
• Modern Italian pizza oven;
• New menu in a new kitchen;
• Massive playground and climbing frame with a three-story slide;
• Total capacity for 1,000 people with a huge family dining area and renovated function room;
• 64 beer taps;
• Indoor fireplace and board game library.

There’s something interesting every night of the week too, including trivia nights, food specials, Jag the Joker, Happy Hour and more, and beyond the pizza you’ll find a menu filled with modern pub classics, as well as some great sharing options.

With spacious outdoor areas and plenty of separation between quiet corners, bars and play areas, this venue will cater to everyone’s needs without losing those unique neighborhood pub elements that many renovators can easily miss.

Honest, unpretentious and with something for everyone, the new Bayswater Hotel is the perfect pub for the modern Bayswater community. For more information and bookings, visit bayswaterhotel.com.au.
