If there needed to be any sign that the small bars craze had reached rapture point, then see this. Could someone really call it The Boheme? (aka “Teh ‘Heme”) You’d think it would be hard to go worse than the name Bobby Dazzlers. The whole Wentworth Plaza redevelopment is looking pretty sick. The barest sliver of facade is finding it difficult to conceal a a monster of concrete behind. The Boheme. Kill me now. Oh god, there’s even a fucking accent on the e. By Bento.

why do we get ‘Le Boatshed’ but ‘The Boheme’ ?
no doubt it will become known as La Bogane
that’s if the Raine Square development ever gets finished.

I can’t tell either, but it may be a circumflex used to denote the geographic Bohême, rather than Murger’s preference for a grave accent to specify the conceptual bohème. Regardless, why isn’t it The Bohême Food House & Drinkery ?

I for one am saddened that Bobby Dazzler’s has closed.
It was delightfully kitsch and reliable the few times I walked in.
Same with Horsefeathers and…. whatever that place was tucked around the back of Raine Square (The Garage?).
At least Sasella’s is safe, right? And Hickey’s?
Perth is losing all of it’s “classics”.
(In case anyone hasn’t mentioned it, the Great Wall of Maylands, https://theworstofperth.com/2007/10/05/%E9%95%BF%E5%9F%8E-the-great-wall-at-maylands/ was demolished two days ago.)

May I further add that the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor requiring that a
“public interest factor [be] determined whether the granting of the licence had the potential to increase alcohol-related harm and/or any offence, annoyance, disturbance or inconvenience that might be caused to people who reside in the vicinity of the proposed licensed premises.” is an outrage and a scoundrel, and that citizens should have the right to get maggoted wherever and whenever they feel.

Just another CBD venue that will be charging over $10 for a pint!
It’d time the people of Perth voted with their feet, and let these overpriced venues stay empty for a few weeks.
That might just bring the price of a pint down to a resonale level…say $6.
Visitors from the UK who pay 2-3 quid overthere end up paying over 6 quid here for a pint…outrageous!!!
