Best Pubs With Playgrounds in Perth
Somewhere In The Park
Equal parts neighbourhood hangout and family-friendly favourite, Somewhere In The Park proves you don’t have to sacrifice on food or atmosphere for a stress-free meal with little ones. Out the back, a dedicated play space complete with a mini chef’s kitchen, free arcade games and plenty of room for imaginative play keeps kids happily occupied while parents settle in with a coffee, pizza or glass of chardonnay. The leafy courtyard makes it easy to keep an eye on the action, and with a kids’ menu available from breakfast through to dinner, it’s one of those rare spots that genuinely caters to everyone.

Milly’s Acre
Part of East Victoria Park’s sprawling Baillie Hill precinct, Milly’s Acre has quickly become a go-to for families thanks to its enormous timber playground that sits right beside the outdoor dining area. Designed with parents in mind, the modern pub serves elevated pub classics, woodfired pizzas and plenty of options for little appetites, making it just as suited to a casual weeknight dinner as a long Sunday lunch while the kids burn off some energy.

Percy’s Playground
Percy’s Playground is the leafy new outdoor extension of the Stirling Arms Hotel, created with families firmly in mind. At its heart is a sprawling two-storey nature playground designed for hours of play, complete with shade sails and misters to keep things cool on warmer days. Little ones are well catered for too, with a sandpit, a toy-filled games corner and (depending on when you visit) pop-up entertainment like face painting fairies and other playful surprises.
When it’s time to eat, kids can tuck into dedicated meal packs that balance a little fruit and veg with fussy eater-approved classics like dino nuggets, spag bol and hot chips. Grown-ups aren’t left out, with good coffee, cold beers and reliable pub favourites on offer too. Set in Guildford on the edge of the Swan Valley, Percy’s Playground already feels like a local favourite—and it’s one that’s definitely worth planning a day trip around over the holidays. Book ahead or wander in.
Clancy’s Fish Pub
Clancy’s Fish Pub is a classic when it comes to kid-friendly dining in Perth. With three convenient locations across the city, there’s triple the opportunity to kick back and relax in the sunshine with a pint in hand while the little ones run amuck.

Despite extensive renovations restoring the grand Bassendean Hotel to its former glory, this pub remains as unpretentious as ever and true to its locals. The addition of a playground in the courtyard ensures the younger generations, and furry family members, are initiated into the local corner pub tradition. Relax on the beautiful wrap-around balcony and intimate lounges nestled into every nook and cranny, including Daphne’s Snug, named after the licensee’s daughters in the 1950s. Live music, sports matches, weekly specials, happy hours and Sunday roasts have revitalised Bassendean’s Old Perth Road, and the neighbourhood’s soul.
